Honestly, what is there but middle ground at this point? More than any year in memory, BB has stirred things up. At TE & WR, he threw a bunch of players at the wall -- holdovers, draft picks, UDFAs, trades and FAs -- and waited to see what stuck. Some of those efforts have turned out to be major stinkers, some pleasant surprises, and exactly one (Baker) looks to be exactly as advertised.
Here's the happy thing for me. For all of the hand-wringing over the bad trades for Lewis & Smith, here's the Patriots WR/TE lineup:
Moss, Welker, Galloway, Edelman, Aiken (Nunn, Tate)
Baker, Watson, Matthews
Doesn't that look damn good?
