What will Chad accomplish in NFL year 2 for him?

What I'm looking for is doubling the amount of snaps he's involved in. That would be a good first step.

I don't know about the field so much as I know he will have about 50 more threads in this forum dedicated to him this year. And that's substantial production right there.

And really Why Should'nt he get the attention? - He is the biggest WR prospect since Terry Glenn for the Patriots and fans are hoping he contributes like Terry did in his prime ....or much better than that,Hopefully.

I can't think of a Patriots WR that has gotten so much hope and attention from the fans - Reminds me of when Russ Francis came here in the 70s-The fans went crazy with his potential,And he actually ended up being a very solid productive TE for us.

I think his impact could be anywhere from bad to ok but if Troy retires, should become one of the better punt returners in the league, to the point where he gets Pacman treatment towards the end of the season - this also applies to kick offs. I do not like the idea of starting cornerbacks returning kicks (i.e. Hobbs)- especially with the history of injuries in the defensive backfield on this team since 04.

Not expecting much....his involvement with the offense actually dwindled over the course of a 19 game season. Obviously there is a problem....

After watching Addai become an intregral part of the Colts offense, the "Rookie excuse" doesn't cut it.

Lots of great receivers have had less than stellar first years, Troy Brown for one, and have come on after they have adapted to the NFL. The Colstons of the world are the exception not the rule, to have missed all of TC is a bad start he never recovered from.. imo he will be fine.

Thanks for your generalisation.

See the interview with his high school; we just have to be patient and let him have a training camp and practice.

If that's the case BB and Pioli should have taken another player with that 2nd rd pick. The team had too many holes to let "a potential talent" observe from the bench. With emergency needs at the receiver position this year, his inability to break into the lineup was certainly not BB's plan.

I hope he has a stellar career...but it doesn't look good at this point. I'm astounded anyone can claim not to be dissapointed by CJack thus far.

Running back is a LOT easier for a rookie to play than WR. Plus, Addai has the luxury of the defense dropping 8 guys into coverage to try and stop Manning, so he has gaping holes all the time. That comparison means absolutely nothing.

I just hope to see Chad being used to his strengths. Get him the ball any way you can, because he has by far the best physical, playmaking tools on the team.
