Sounds like a big problem with "confidence in the pocket issues" at the QB spot. I'm not sure that any receivers are going to flourish if the QB is as jittery as you describe.
It's a vicious cycle. The more the QB forces the ball to one or two receivers, the more defenses know they just have to double those two receivers and send the hounds after the QB. After a game with eight sacks and hits, the QB loses more "confidence". One way to break out of that rut would be some quick passes to Amendola and non-blinkie non-double teamed receivers. Another way is to take the ball out of the QBs hand and run the ball, which is what the Pats did yesterday.
But why would you have a QB go after other receivers when you have 2 stellar ones in Edelman and gronk? What we need to happen is have the oline fixed. It's not that amendola lost toms trust, but Tom
Doesn't have faith in his oline to get to dola on his reads. All this points towards is the oline is a very big weakness now and the offense won't see its top potential until they can get these guys on the right track.
Hopefully stork will start in several weeks getting the interior shored up, vollmer knocks the rust off, solder and cannon get used to each other on the left side. Once that happens; then I bet the offensive pass numbers grow
