B6 Camp Notes - Can I have gravy on my crow? Can someone get Boyce a 5 hour energy?

I have a biased? I am saying that a player that who is 1 of 3 Patriots ever to have 100 catch and 1000 yards in a season is better than a player who has never broke 700 receiving yards in any of his 6 NFL seasons. If anyone is showing a biased here it is you. You and the others who undervalue what Julian Edelman did last season as if he did not have an amazing season and it could easily be achieved by Amendola apparently have a hard time getting past Edelman starting his career as a backup ST player and are unwilling to give him his due. Edelman is the better player, if Amendola goes out and outperforms him than it will become a debate, but right now it is not debatable, because you are basing your belief on potential and hope.

I am speaking in absolutes because at this time you have absolutely nothing to support Amendola being better than Edelman, nothing at all. Until you do I can speak in absolutes.

Of course you have a bias.

You are speaking in absolutes saying that Edelman will be ahead of Amendola, and I am saying you do not know that.
Hard to understand how you can not see the difference between X will certainly happen and We don';t know for sure that X will happen, but you are speaking as if they are the same statement.

Amendola was ahead of Edelman before he was injured. Amendolas skillset may be better than Edelmans. Using statistics that include injuries (not to mention Amendola playing with crappy QBs most of his career) to infer skill level is silly.
The irony is that having this conversation last year from your viewpoint would have resulted in Edelman having no chance to produce much of anything.
Again, you are speculating and talking in absolutes.
If you want to 'predict' something, that is fine, but you are making a conclusion that you do not know is true.

troll

One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

sounds like an Amendola thread.

I am not one to tout Edelmen as a receiver, but all reports in camp have been that he is the best WR on the field.
