This moronic obsession with a deep threat needs to stop. What we need is another reliable receiver that can win one on one matchups outside the numbers and run a full route tree. We need 2010 Branch, not 2004 Moss or 2008 Fitzgerald. I think if we resign Edelman he can more than adequately fill that role and then we're just looking to fill quality depth and a quality #3 WR for any spread packages we run.

Gronk and Hernandez are locked up for 6 years. Those two are better receiving options than 80% of the league has. We don't need more weapons. We need consistent production out of those two and reliable receivers that don't drop balls every single time we have a need for a crucial catch and Brady hits them between the numbers.
You obviously do not understand football.

When all of your targets are short to midrange, 0 deep threats, it's pretty easy to control...why cannot you get this?

Having at least 1 deep threat is needed for the defense to account for.

That is all.

How about we need better luck in the health department... we had a team the last 2 years to win it all and we got screwed in the health area ... 2 years no Gronk, the game with no Welker, no Talib this year ... seriously - we have/had good teams.
Ok, better draft 5 more tight ends and slot receivers then.

You need at least 1 deep threat to make the opposing defenses account for them.

Think about it.

Does anyone think the lack of a "deep threat" is an intentional ommission? I haven't seen anything out of Brady in the last 3 years that makes me think he can accurately hit a deep man. I think he is still a great QB, but I think the deep ball days are behind him.

No, you clearly just started watching football in 2007.

How many championships did we win with Moss, the GOAT deep threat?

Now please tell me who our deep threat was when we won THREE superbowls.

I'll wait as you try to argue David Thomas was an elite deep threat.

You must be thinking of Garrett Mills, not Thomas

Mills would have been the deep threat for the next 10 yrs had Childress not pilfered him away.

Damn you Childress...damn you to hell.
