He has more than one fumble this season and if you can't keep the ball then Coach Belicheck is going to sit your ass down.

I do agree that Ridley is the best available back for the Patriots. It will be interesting once Vereen is back healthy as he should take a lot of Boldin's snaps as they are both pass catching RBs. Ideally Vereen and Ridley will share the load.

Ridley definitely runs the hardest and is a very good running back but he does fumble. Patriots have always been about running back by committee because they don't want to take the ball out of Brady's hands.

However, i think one issue which needs more discussion is New England's poor play calling over the past couple of years and all down to McDaniels and Belicheck seems to have a blind spot for McDaniels and many fans worry that McDaniels is going to become HC when Belicheck decides its time to retire.

I think the Patriots will have a very tough time winning another Superbowl with McDaniels calling the offence.

The defence was finally coming together and now Wilfork and Mayo are on IR and Talib has another injury.
