When you draft a RB in the first round, you expect more out him than 700 yards in total production per season. The mere fact that you don't understand further proves that you're a moron of the nth degree. |

Anyone who thinks Maroney has remotely lived up to his draft slot is high. Maroney is producing less than guys taken 5 rounds later, horrid pick plain and simple. For a RB to justify 1st round he has to be a stud.

He averages 4.2 for his career, so its not like hes getting 300 carries a season. 4.2 isnt great, but it isnt a bad average. I guess if you want 5+ out of a 1st round back you could qualify him as a bust, but hes more of an lj mold. For goal line situations and what not, which hes been pretty good at.

Why is the term hindsight being used in this thread?
All of those thoughts were expressed months ago, that isn't hindsight of anything that's foresight, amusing that the people who took the hardest beating were correct... |

You know what Maroney is really good at? getting injured.

I guess i can see where you guys are coming from.
I qualify a bust as being a bad player that doesnt produce. You guys i believe qualify a bust as a player that doesnt justify the spot where he was taken. Which is fair. While maroney hasnt been a superstud, with the number of touches hes got, hes been a pretty good player.

He got taken in front of Jones-Drew that alone makes the pick an epic fail.

Well that 5'6 RB weighs about 220lbs so it's a bit different.

Hes definitely better than maroney but taking a 5'6 runningback in the first rd when the NFL is only getting bigger isnt exactly a "smart" pick.

Just that Maroney was taken before Jones-Drew. Why do so many people twist words around here? |

It wasnt intended. I just meant that taking jones drew over any normal sized rb is usually frowned upon.
