Re: Patriots Backfield Status:

Selin, I agree with your premise here. But when we talk about upgrading
or
downgrading a position, it's usually with respect to what it was the
PREVIOUS year. And this past year, Dillon was the best back on the team.
He may have nothing left at this point, but it's still a clear
downgrade --
statistics or not. I'm actually a little surprised that people are
actually
denying this.


Oh yeah, I hear you. On paper it is a downgrade. Assuming Dillon doesn't
play this season we may never know that for sure
I am not saying the less talented Morris would perform as well this season
as an aging, unmotivated
Dillon would have. Just give the guy a chance, he may not be as bad as some
people say. He has shown signs he can play.
Come next September we will begin to have a better idea as to whether the
downgrade was real or imagined. We will see...
