More WR Talent - New England Patriots Forums

Iron Helmet · 11-03-2009, 04:56 PM

Which group of WRs do you think has more talent (QBs being EQUAL...lets say Payton Manning could work with either one)...no homers please.

• 88 Sam Aiken
• 11 Julian Edelman
• 81 Randy Moss
• 19 Brandon Tate KR
• 83 Wes Welker PR

• 81 Jason Avant
• 86 Reggie Brown
• 80 Kevin Curtis
• 10 DeSean Jackson PR
• 18 Jeremy Maclin

Moss much better than Jackson
Welker much better than Maclin
Our 3 together are better than their other 3.

I would say that Tate has the talent to potentially be better than Maclin.

And i'm not a Homer.

I would pretty much agree to this except for the fact that I don't think Tate is going to be better than Maclin in the long run. And I do think that Tate is going to be very good. On top of that, I would take Reggie Brown or Kevin Curtis over Sam Aiken.

Question - What is the basis for this comparison?

Why compare 5? Usually a team only activates 4 WRs for a game, so who cares if my #5 is better than your #5?

Looking over the list, I have to ask myself if this is a trick question. I'd like to see the rathionale why the Iggles have a better WR corps.

Wondering who has the more talented WR Corps. Debate with Eagles fan.

This isn't exactly the best place to post this then. You're going to get a pro-Patriots slant at every turn, despite the fact that you said "no homer". You'd be better off posting this on a New York Giants forum (a.k.a. - a team that hates both the Pats and the Eagles).

Moss and Welker are better than all their WR's....but I don' tknow how anyone can say Aiken, Edelman, or Tate are better than Kurtis, Brown, or Maclin...yet. Tate hasn't done ANYTHING yet, and Aiken hasn't exactly been stellar (besides his play against the Bucs). Edelman has been solid, but you can't say he's better than Kevin Kurtis, who already has proven to be a solid receiver over the course of a full year.

Simple they dont have a Randy Moss. A 6 foot 5 receiver who can make the jump/spectacular catches.

I was suprised they drafted Maclin, as I thought he was the same type of receiver as Jackson. Two Burners that are not physically intimidating.

There is no way the Eagles receiving core is remotely in the same league as the Pats corps. That is just preposterous.

The Eagles are deeper, but they don't have anyone who can compare to Moss or Welker.
