Are you ignoring the games he came out of also? Listen man I think Maroney has big time Talent. I am just stating my opinion. I have a little evidence to back it up. Jeez.
He came out of the Miami game because they were winning 42-7 at the half. The game before the injury he had 19 carries. The first three games of the season he carried the ball 20, 19, and 15 times. The fifteen carry game was against the Chargers, when they came out passing. He ate up the clock in the second half. Few running backs average even twenty carries per game, and I don't expect a second-year running back on a pass-first team to be utilized like Larry Johnson.
I know, I know, I know... "he's made of glass." Has the possibility that Belichick was being extra careful with him crossed your mind? The same way they were being careful easing Seymour back into the line-up, or Watson, or any number of other players?
I don't appreciate you distorting facts to further an agenda, as you were trying to do with your statement about him missing "half the season" or even forty percent of the season.
He averages nearly five yards a carry (and in four of the games he's played in it's been better than five yards per). Do you realize how good that is? But no, you still tout the baseless "he dances too much" BS. He has hit the hole decisively ALL year. You think being able to point to one game in the beginning of the year proves that he dances. It doesn't.
And that bullsh it about TDs is just that. TDs are not the most important statistic for a running back in an offense that throws the ball first when in the red area.
Maroney gets yardage on early down situations, and does so very well. He is an important reason why the offense is so successful and does not need to be replaced in the offseason.
