Patriots Trade Laurence Maroney to Dungver
Compensation unknown. Very surprising. Per Adam Schefter.
|
Now we have the best backfield in the NFL to add to the best OL, WRs and LBers!!!

What? I thought Dungver had 3 All Pro RB'?

Maroney was inactive for us week 1, for a "thigh injury". He was clearly in the doghouse, however, as he was playing with the scrubs during the preseason. He's in the last year of his contract, and was clearly the worst 1st round pick fo the Belichick era. What's surprising to me is that this leaves us undermanned at RB with a bunch of Geritol popping, likely-to-be-injured, decrepit old timers at the position. I remember reading LAST YEAR taht the Patriots had 3 out of 4 of the RBs in the NFL over 32 years old -- Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris and Kevin Faulk. |

After White,Maroney is the best short yardage RB in the NFL/Knowshit
|
Desperation move.
The Broncos need to learn that quality > quantity. Of course, they're ****ed for a year or two until they can cut Moreno. |
Beaten on the Knowmo clowning. Drats.
|
I didnt expect Maroney to bust this hard.
|
awesome!
|
I still remember Shanarat praising Maroney and the Patriots pick of Maroney immediately after we drafted him. :shake:
It's really too bad. The guy has classic size/speed for the position and by all rights SHOULD HAVE been very good. Instead, we got to see both DeAngelo Williams and Joseph Addai, taken later in the round, massively outperform Maroney, and Addai play for one of our biggest rivals no less. :shake: Oh, and Nick Mangold be drafted later in the round and become a pro bowl level lineman for our division rival Jets. :shake: :banghead: Oh well, not all picks pan out, but that one just hurts somehow. He SHOULD have been good, but I guess he just didn't want to spend the effort. Or soemthing... |
Thank Gawd!

My standard for "bust" is pretty high. Bust to me is Ryan Leaf, Charles Rogers, or someone who literally doesn't help your team AT ALL. Maroney was just mediocre. |
Mike Shanahan really liked him and was thinking about drafting him so he should do good in Denver.
|
Schefter: For RB Laurence Maroney, New England gets Denver's fourth-round pick in 2011 and Denver gets New England's sixth-round pick in 2011.
Wow, talking about getting NOTHING for him. Maroney was worth the spread between a 4th and a 6th round pick. Why don't we get a bucket of warm spit with it? :shake: |
It's funny to read all the twitter references...
So, cool... Denver now has Maroney. (crickets) |

He was literally the worst starting RB in the league...
...and now watch Denver homers act like he's good |

For those counting, that gives the Patriots:
1st round: their own, plus the Raiders' pick 2nd round: their own, plus the Panthers' pick 3rd round: their own 4th round: their own, plus the Broncos' pick plus one 5, one 6 (it was two before this trade) and one 7. Piling them up, as usual. |
Good move by the Donks if he's that cheap. Probably won't see the ball much anyway, since both Moreno and Buckhalter are better runners than Maroney. But who knows.

....and watch Belichick trade all those picks for some other picks in 2012. You guys will end up with all the draft picks by 2060. |

He's FA after this season, and won't be traded mid-season. I think we re-up him for 2 years at $9MM apiece or something. Frankly, if he performs as we expect (and he's looked GREAT so far), then it makes too much sense for him to stay with us, and for us to keep him. |

and a 4th is worth a hell of a lot more than a 6th in terms of the talent available to pick from edit and it could be a high 4th |

He once rolled a 4th into a 3rd into a 2nd and then used the pick. His draft strategy drives MANY Patriots' fans absolutely crazy, but I agree with it 100%. Fans always want to move UP, and hate moving down, which is all BB ever does, but I'm 100% on board with it. |

If not, I think the sample size is big enough to say he is garbage and will never amount to anything in New England.. ; ) |

It's too bad, though. I do like the Boy Wonder. But I can't really root fo rhim while he's Denver's coach. If only he'd gone over to the NFC or something. My favorite teams in 2010: 1. Patriots 2. whoever is playing the Raiders any given week 3. whoever is playing Denver any given week 4. whoever is playing the Jets/Dolphins any given week 5. whoever is playing the Colts any given week 6. whoever is playing the Ravens/Steelers/Chargers any given week. :hrmm: This is getting complicated. I'll need to come up with tie-breaking procedures. :D |

I'm not sure I've ever been so apathetic toward a Denver trade. I don't think this makes any difference whatsoever, nor is the drop from 4th to 6th a big deal.
:shrug: |
I wonder if this is some knee-jerk reaction trade after they learned that Grant is IR in Green Bay now... Patriots may have been better suited to wait, who knows.

By comparison, other than that stiff we took in 2000 (some QB named Brady), we've gotten VERY little mileage out of 6th round picks. We've actually done better with 7th rounders. Matt Cassell, David Givens, and Tully Banta-Cain come to mind immediately for 7ths that we got good use out of. |
On a side note, the Broncos have to be up to something like 12 running backs that they've had on the roster between last year and this year. McDaniels must like the shotgun approach to running back development.

Analysis of trade from Patriots perspective:
Quote:
|
Another dynamic here -- look for the Patriots to completely revamp their RB group after this year. All those old players need replacing, and Maroney won't be the guy, so look for them to spend some of those multiple draft picks they have on an RB or two, and possibly sign some FAs this upcoming offseason.
|
Good point by the ESPN blogger. The law firm is probably a more valuable player than Maroney at this juncture.
|
I didn't know the Patriots even bothered running the ball anymore.

And there's no reason to spend a high draft choice on a running back these days, although teams continue to do so, often with very mixed results. |

Maroney sucks.
Denver sucks. Move along, people, nothing to see here! :D |

Nice moves. |
glad i wasn't born a donk-fan .. its the half-brain removal thats scary ...
|
Lol. Denver has to trade for RB after week 1 and somehow Knowmo sees that as a positive.

Maroney has done nothing but make a case for being a suck ass bust. But good luck to your Broncos and McDumbass on this one. |
LOL at the Chiefs for taking another cast-off patriots player.
Oh wait.... |
