I probably shouldn't have even bothered to write than, ausie. Dislikes seem too much like a personal attack on another person's opinion. Disagrees seem less harsh, but if I disagree, then wouldn't it be more honest to simply reply and say why, than simply click a button. Too negative for me. Likes and agrees are useful since they save the time to have to post "yeah, me too".
This is simply myopic. Of course there are consequences. Clearly you and Felger think "the cap is crap"
There are simply REAMS of facts and actual experiences of quality WR's who have had trouble adjusting to this system, even when they have had full off seasons to prepare, let alone coming here in the middle of the season and be expected to contribute within a few weeks. The only thing irrelevant here was your comment
He might be better, but to what end. Do you REALLY think that the addition of Jackson would add significantly to the Pats scoring? You are forgetting that over 90% of all passes these days are UNDER 15 yds in the air. Again, unless you are going to throw 7 or 8 passes each game to Jackson on go routes, how much better will the offe.nse be. I'd suggest it might be worse with that kind of plan.
Oh, I agree entirely. I have no problem with the idea that we try and add to our roster with a trade. But what I've been consistently diametrically opposed to is the concept that adding a so called #1 WR would make an offense that's averaging 39ppg the past month any better. And I certainly don't want to spend valuable cap and draft assets in adding a piece that might be sexy or exciting yet not add to the bottom line...... namely points on the board.
Ken, a disagreement isn't something to be concerned with. People should disagree. Consensus agreements do not lead to learning and if someone has something valuable to contribute, it should be said.I probably shouldn't have even bothered to write than, ausie.

Perhaps you're right.
If the Patriots steered clear of every position they blew an acquisition at, they wouldn't have a team.
Whilst I agree with your theme, V-Jax would be another tool for Brady in the Red Zone. I'm looking at his potential impact against very good defenses. Personally, I'd prefer Dobson developed faster but I was on board with Keenan Allen pre-draft.
Personally, my preference is to add to the Defensive Line and the Linebacker corp. My overall contention is the Patriots shouldn't stop trying to improve at other positions simply because positions of greater need aren't offering talent.
I agree with spades on Dobson, but I think he's been a victim of his injury situation. Right now he's simply too far behind to get any significant snaps. WHo is he going to replace? LaFell, Edelman. Even if he replaced Tyms on the active roster, what kind of impact is he going to make running clear out routes for Gronk Lafell and Edelman. That's what tyms does. Its going to take a WR injury to get Dobson on the field. If I wasn't worried about injuries, I'd have IR'd him already. But that doesn't mean I don't like him as a prospect.
