It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Well, technically it doesn't mean we are not all crazy...It confirms what so many of us here have been saying for years, in terms of Brady's ability to read and manipulate, the difficulty of the system, the post-snap requirements, etc..., so it's nice to know that we're not all crazy.

I mean, they're on a pretty good run so maybe keep the system?I'll read later but...if it takes so much to process all this information and be successful as a WR in New England, shouldn't they change the system? After all they are drafting football players not engineers and physicist.
The standard WR that comes to the league is a guy who can run and catch. That's all the pre-requisites NFL teams demand so the Patriots seems to be demanding more and hitting the face in a wall every time.

Can't hide from it.... How this moron is still allowed to express an opinion is mind boggling
It'd be interesting if Keenan Reynolds converts to a WR, they can pick him up UDFA and he can fulfill his obligations to the Navy. I guess the downside of this system is that it is difficult to find physically capable receivers to learn and integrate into the system, and also be able to scout receivers in college that for the most part don't have any option routes, read defenses, huddle or have an understanding of everyone else's assignments and responsibilities on every play.

we can decrease our risk drafting former qb's. Get a good athlete who's studious and has played in a pro style offense in a good program. Take a chance in the later rounds and maybe you get another Edelman.
hindsight is 20/20. gronk was picked in the 2nd round. every teams passed on him in the 1st.
WalterFootball.com: 2010 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Rob Gronkowski
Weaknesses:
- Very serious durability concerns (back)
- Doesn't maximize Y.A.C.
- Lacks some running vision in open field
- Doesn't have top-end athleticism or agility
- Run blocking technique a little inconsistent

- Might have some rust as a rookie (didn't play football in 2009)
Summary: Gronkowski is a very well-rounded tight end prospect and will likely come off the board in the second round, but if team doctors have very serious concerns with his back (and some certainly should) then he could really fall in the 2010 NFL Draft. Back issues are probably the worst kind of injury for an athlete and generally these athletes have injury problems throughout their careers. Gronkowski will never be an elite tight end in the NFL, but if he stays healthy he should certainly be a productive contributor and starter.
Player Comparison: Kevin Boss. Boss and Gronkowski have similar frames, athleticism and receiving skills.
Why on Earth would you have them change the system that's led to 6 SBs in 13 healthy Brady seasons and is 1 game away from making that 7 in 14?
