Like this deal, Taylors a great running back.

Booooooooo... I hate Fred Taylor now... the only Patriot I respect is Matt Cassel

I like this signing. Hopefully now we can be done seeing the overrated Maroney.

Ma-roid-ney will probably still start. Maybe him and Freddie T will split carries, but I personally hope this doesn't benefit New England... I need them to play bad.

Yeah, unfortunately I do know Maroney will still start. I just wish somebody would take it over him.

As much as I dislike the Pats... I must admit, Bill Belichick needs to make Taylor start.

I'm crossing my fingers.

BTW, out of curiosity, why is Cassel the only Patriot you respect?

 

[Dice-J]

Why do you hate Maroney? Great running back while healthy, and he's one of my favorite players on Pats.

Taylor could of done better than New England. He will not see that many carries.

 

[A.E]

Given the injury tendencies of both players, perhaps when Taylor and Maroney are combined...the Pats can get 16+ games out of a starting RB.

 

[Lake Louise]

Taylor has to hope for injuries to happen for him to get some decent playing time, which could happen.

Reminds me of when they got Corey Dillon a few years ago. I think this is going to be a GREAT pick-up for the Patriots & Taylor himself.
