Going by the numbers in http://itiswhatitis.weei.com/sports...ing-opportunities-in-patriots-passing-game-3/, namely
and blithely ignoring the smallness of the samples:
WR Julian Edelman: 22 catches on 28 targets
TE Rob Gronkowski: 11 catches on 23 targets
RB Shane Vereen: 10 catches on 16 targets
WR Kenbrell Thompkins: 6 catches on 11 targets
WR Brandon LaFell: 4 catches on 14 targets
TE Tim Wright: 4 catches on 5 targets
WR Danny Amendola: 3 catches on 7 targets
RB Stevan Ridley: 3 catches on 3 targets
FB James Develin: 2 catches on 2 targets
RB Brandon Bolden: 1 catch on 3 targets
WR Aaron Dobson: 1 catch on 2 targets
TE Michael Hoomananwanui: 1 catch on 1 target
and blithely ignoring the smallness of the samples:
- Edelman's numbers seem fine.
- LaFell's are ghastly.
- Gronk's aren't Gronk-like.
- Vereen's are disappointing; I have to think Kevin Faulk's used to be nicely higher.
- Amendola's are disappointing.
- Thompkins' are OK.
- The rarely-targeted guys do fine, in general, when a ball finally is thrown their way.
