Are you really comparing his game to Deion Branch's? Branch ran some of the best routes ever seen in Foxboro, was shifty, and made some great yards after the catch. None of those things apply to Bowe.
bowe actually runs decent routes.......not as well as branch, but then again, nobody does, so you're not going to find that again, but the comparison is to what what part of the field he works which is the mid range which is a perfect complement to the deep threat in moss and the short game of welker edelman.

the galloway comparison is about as off-base as it gets

I think my Galloway comparison in regards to while he'd fail in New England is as perfect as it gets. Also feel free to substitute Donald Hayes. To be a WR on this team, you have to have Brady's complete trust that you'll be where your supposed to be at the right time. That's why Galloway and Hayes failed, and Aiken, amongst other reasons. You have to make the same reads, the same sight adjustments, and be precise. It's why Givens and Gaffney were successful here.

This is not Bowe's game. If the Patriots got Bowe, he'd likely be strictly a red zone target, which isn't the ideal use of a 2nd round pick.

Frankly, I think we'd come out well ahead if we used the 2nd rounder on Golden Tate or some other WRs instead.

c'mon!!!! you've got a better imagination than that!!!! just compare him to marquise hill.....its almost as irrelevant

gaffney successful here? you kidding me? if he was, he would still be here.....if you call disappearing for 5 game chunks successful, okay then

golden tate? talk about someone who doesn't run routes.....he either does screens or goes deep

I guess we've reached the end of productive conversation then. I also think that this is another case of fantasy football warping reality. Just keep in mind the sharp drop in Bowe's production after Gonzalez left.

I would take this guy in a heartbeat. He's not as slow as some people believe, but he's not a burner. I'd say he's a similar player to Boldin but not as brutally physical. He's not afraid to go over the middle, has good leaping ability, and is a big target.I think he'd be a great fit opposite Moss to run those intermediate routes.

This belief that we need another burner to stretch the field is one I do not support. I think we need a guy in the Boldin/Bowe mold to line up outside who is physical, goes over the middle, can fight off the jam well, and works the intermediate zone of the field well.

Brady doesn't like guys who
1) can't be expected to be in the right spot
2) drops footballs
3) doesn't make smart reads

Moss and Welker have been studs because those characteristics don't describe them.

Watson fits those characteristics and he is NOT returning to Foxboro.

What does that tell you?

It tells me the type of WRs Brady likes have success, and those that he doesn't can just get lost, just like Joey Galloway.
