negative again. He will be happy with a real team and a team that wins. the patriots are a unit, like a whole team of offensive lineman.

Why bring in a guy with baggage when you an draft a young player and develop him.
Another reason not to like the trade, Dillon is not a very good receiver, something that will have to change in the Patriots offense.

why take a gamble on a running back, when you can have a sure back and get 2 players to add depth to the o-line.
Note: i don't recall dillon being considered "baggage" a few years ago, when he was kicking ******

If you didn't notice, the Bengals won last year and barely missed the playoffs, yet Dillon was bitching about HIS situation. He's a malcontent.
For a second-round pick, I still think he's worth the risk for the Pats, mostly because Belicheck has no qualms about cutting his ****** if he doesn't shut up and get to work. It remains to be seen if he'll do so, and I still expect the Pats to draft a young RB.

he wasn't happy, because he got frustrated from not playing. With the pats, he will definitely play.

He wasn't playing because he got injured and his backup was racking up big numbers and the Bengals began winning. He didn't like the idea of the success not being entirely due to his play.

the fact is, this is a guy who's used to playing and doing well. he got frustrated when he didn't play, and he ended up saying some things he shouldnt've. he should be happy now, playing with a super bowl team, and actually PLAYING.

He said things he souldn't have when he first got on with the bengals...Remember he would rather flip hamburgers at McDonald's rather than play for the Bengals

Then you're younger than I thought you were. He's been a pain in the ****** for at least the last 3 years. Originally it was losing, then it became not getting the ball enough because his team was successful without him.
It's not a bad gamble for the Pats. Belicheck has shown that he can handle a team's bruised psyche. I'm just glad I don't have to root for Dillon - he's shown himself to be nothing more than a malcontent and a cancer, and I'd rather a guy like that not be on my favorite team.

i meant years ago. I remember him being a headcase starting two years ago. When he was one of the top two backs in the game, he was fine. I think belichick will keep him focused, considering he's the best coach in the NFL.

Nope. But considering the bitching he has been doing while 1) being hurt, 2) being given the ball 25 times a game and rushing for a then NFL record single game rushing total, and 3) actually winning games in a Bengal uniform, nothing would surprise me.
