O.J. Anderson says hiBolden has been playing well. Either he somehow got better with more snaps which would be pretty cool for his age, or he always had RB skills and only now got to show them due to team injuries at age 31.

That’s some pretty high praise. Haven’t heard his name in awhile. UMiami hall of fame. Nfl rookie of the year, 2xprobowler, played behind Joe Morris in Sb21 scoring a td and then led the way to sb mvp in 25. Almost 11000 yards and 86 tds. The only resemblance I see is comeback player of the year which I doubt Bolden will get. But he has been a good story for the the Pats.O.J. Anderson says hi

<bows deeply>You've got a horrible voice.
Agree. He’s a blue collar grinder. Has done what he’s been asked to do. Career stats aren’t stellar but they’re really not all that shabby: rushing 261 carries for 1,179 yards, 4.5 ypc, and 11 TDs; receiving 81 catches for 686 yards, 8.5 ypc, and 5 TDs. He’s been up and down from year to year depending on what he’s been asked to do. We are seeing him asked to do more and doing more this year.I’ve always liked Bolden. Just because he isn’t RB-1 material doesn’t mean he isn’t a serviceable back. I don’t expect a ton of yards but we are going to need some balanced ground and pound. With Harris and Stephenson out lets see what Brandon the bell cow can do.

It's about an older guy not expected to make huge contributions. Obviously O.J. was a star, BB is a role player.Yea. It's a bad comp. Anderson was a 1600 yard rusher his rookie year, didn't come out of nowhere. Bolden is a career special teamer who has had a couple decent games now at RB at age31.

But you can't say BB the running back is getting in the way of BB the head coach (or BB the GM)It's about an older guy not expected to make huge contributions. Obviously O.J. was a star, BB is a role player.
Not a fair comparison. I wish the 31 year old elite cb1 had Bolden's desire to be a Patriot vs chasing the last dollar. That said I can't blame any player who looks out for number 1. Football is a tough way to make a living with only a few years to make your money.Pretty cool for a 31 year old RB. Good team guy. Wish we kept the 31 year old elite CB1 as well

He was getting paid to play football, if that’s what you mean by “languishing“. Even better, collecting a few Super Bowl championship rings. You can call that languishing, I’ll call it living the good life.I do love Bolden. Almost no dropoff from what White waa giving. Now I wonder if Bolden was languishing for years
