I love the Pats and what they have done in recent history. But...sometimes I feel like they outsmart themselves. Running an offense and defense as complicated as they do is great when everything works as hoped. But when it does not it's just players under performing, or getting cut because the system is too complicated for them to pick up. If we are really having that much trouble picking up an outside receiver, maybe the scheme should change. There are receivers out there in the draft or free agency every year but we always hear how they are not a good fit for our system. If we are always going without a deep threat because nobody can learn the system then maybe that's an indication of issues with the system. Not with every single WR in college and free agency. Yeah, yeah, Dobson. I am hopeful about him. But until he actually plays a meaningful amount of games forgive me for resting the future of the team on him.
I don't think these receivers are failing because the system is too complicated. If that were the case, you would see WR's drafted by the Pats that have gotten cut and have moved on to productive careers. How many of those can you think of off the top of your head?
