Quarterback Play - The Key Was Boyce

dliverey · Aug 14, 2015

I was very impressed with Gibson and Harper. I had high hopes for Boyce when he was drafted, but I accept the fact that he is not a going to be a WR for this team.

That's a good comparison, Brandon Tate reminded me a little more of Bethel though because both at least would make the occaisional big play.

I was shocked how many times we Jimmy targeted Boyce (regardless if he was covered)

The coaching staff wanted to evaluate...Boyce failed in my opinion

That "take the top off the defense" receiver that fans really want is pretty overrated in our offense. Because or offense is mainly quick short to medium passes so the QB doesn't have to stand in the pocket all day. Sure, it's a nice piece to have. But we already have Tyms who has shown himself to be much better at it than Boyce. And if we want a really fast guy that can't play receiver, but is listed as "WR" on the roster, we already have that in Slater.

Not sure Tyms is really much better than anyone. Doubt him and Boyce make the roster.

Their initials are almost the same: JB; BJ

Meh.

They won the Super Bowl last year. I think BB knows what he's doing personnel-wise.

Really confused how you could come to this sort of conclusion/response... BB is the best the NFL has ever seen, my comment had nothing to do with his ability as a GM... all i said is that its a bummer that Boyce hasn't worked out.. thats literally all ive said lol

How you cannot agree with that is a mystery

If only Boyce had the heart of Edleman...

I don't think the Patriots need a deep threat in order to be an explosive offense. As a matter of fact, I think it ends up hampering them when they rely on it too much.

Maybe a KR. He certainly has no business as a WR on this team.

Yeah, one would think, but he's even been unspectacular in that area as well. He seems like one of those guys that's better in theory . . .

I wouldn't underestimate Tyms... He has great chemistry on the field with Jimmy G., and a massive chip on shoulder. The man will take advantage of every opportunity he's given to prove himself

I would like to see Brady and Garappolo have as many weapons at their disposal as possible. Having a deep threat to stretch the field might make a difference

So we keep Josh Boyce on the team to run the Mattew Slater Memorial Post Pattern (tm), and drop the ball twice a week?

Boyce is gonna get cut, but there's still Dobson and Tyms

You can cut both of them too, for all I care. They're both worthless. I mean, I guess keep Dobson to see if he can ever stay healthy, but Tyms is JAGcity.

Lol, Brady demands a lot from his receivers before he throws the ball at them. You know that

Yeah, stuff like "get open" and "catch".

The Brady drop was bad. The jump ball that he dropped was a tough catch, but after a couple of drops he needed that one. I don't blame him for the int, that was Jimmy missing his throw

He could have fought for that one in my opinion. He might have been frustrated at that point. JG definitely could have put about 10 more yards on those deep throws so that he could have used his speed to get to it.

Not sure what to make of it but I'll be that if he had caught that 3rd down pass from Brady we would have a different opinion of him right now.

Not a Boyce apologist but JAG under threw him several times. If your guy is a speedster, set your arm to bias on overthrow.

After thinking about this for the day I believe that we would be having a different discussion if he had caught that 3rd down pass from Brady. It was thrown a little high but definitely catchable.
