A whole lot of people here were saying the same thing about Branch before he was brought back. People can disagree with Carter all they want, but it's not as if his comments are wholly without merit.
This. If Carter had said this 3 months ago this thread would have been full of insults to "Meion"
It Is What It Is Cris Carter on The Big Show: Deion Branch is ‘just a guy’
i think cprice on twitter puts it aptly
The Deon/Brady combo strikes plenty of fear in defenses. Just ask the SB Carolina Panthers. "Just a guy" has rings and a SB MVP trophy. Cris Carter has what?
Combined times that Carter and Moss have won the SB MVP: 0
Number of times Branch won it: 1
Okay who are the Jags?
The only reason Branch got that trophy was because Brady was throwing him the ball..
While I do believe that Cris Carter is an idiot, even idiots are right sometimes. And he's right about Branch. I mean, if you look back over the Pats 2 games, Branch disappeared for a half in each of them. Did he end up with receptions? Eventually.
But lets be real guys. Branch isn't Randy Moss. Heck, he's not even as good as he was when he left the Pats.
If you want to fault Carter for something, fault him for not being able to think for himself. Seriously. He's just parroting what many Pats fans have said about Branch, both before and after he left. And during the time he was in Seattle.
but lets be honest, Deon Branch is not striking fear into any defenses.

well maybe he is right but i personally think to categorize a player who is great can never get injured is an extreme. He keeps ranting about the offense had a huge ceiling with moss but then goes on to say that moss has nothing left. The least he coulve said was that branch is a good fit for the pats but maybe not anywhere else after seeing these last 6 games. instead he just trashed him all the way.
This would be complete non-story here, if this was about a player who wasn't on the Patriots. This is nothing more than the typical "He's on my favorite team, so he's awesome!" stuff that we see so often.
JAG was probably the wrong word choice for Carter, because JAG is usually meant for a guy who's fungible as opposed to just being nothing special (WR2/WR3), which is what I think Carter was trying to say. He could have used "mediocre", "average", "limited", or something like that. But, the reality is that Branch has only one season with more than 60 catches (2005), and has played a full 16 game schedule only once, so far, in his nine year career.

If Branch got waived do you think more than one team in the NFL would put a waiver claim in for him?
