I never stated he replaced Arenas' production. However, he gave a better "imitation" than what was expected.

for the most part thats what we got bro. when we had arenas he was a threat to score everytime they punted to him. maze was decent but he didnt have anywhere near the impact that Arenas had at PR.

In their final years returning punts (Arenas and Maze) they had the following stat line:

2009: Javier Arenas - 32 returns for 493 yards (15.4 per return) and 1 TD

2011: Marquis Maze - 31 returns for 384 yards (12.4 per return) and 1 TD

Now, I am keeping in mind that Arenas had a far better reputation as a returner during his senior year (leading to less potential attempts), but I never suggested Maze replaced his production. Just that it wasn't "pedestrian" as you tried to suggest. I just think Maze needs a little respect here.
