You may want to go back and re-read my OP. Literally none of what I said is untrue unless you want to make a case that the 2011 playoffs were not actually a part of the 2011 season. In that case, be my guest. It would be a short lived and one sided debate. As for the other part of your post, I never said that they had the worst TE corps in the league without Gronk. Here is what I actually said...What are you up to Kontra. Almost none of what you are saying above is true. Are you channeling your inner Borges today. Gronk never missed a regular season game his first 2 years until Pollard sprained his ankle. His other 2 injuries have less to do with his durability and more to do with random bad luck. Anyone hit on the knee the moment he planted his foot would wind up with an ACL. BTW- when you have a TE who is the most impactful non-QB on offense in the league, your TE corps is NOT the worst in the league. Lots of teams have Jags as back up TE's and you know it.
Sorry about your bad day, but don't take it out on us or the Pats FO.
As for the OP - You think the Pats WR corps is weak Scott. Did you ever think that BB and his staff don't see it that way and drafted accordingly. Who is to say that any of the players BB could have drafted in the 2nd or 3rd rounds were projected to be better than the guys we already have on the roster.
As for the TE question, its way to early to ask it, since we don't know how it will work out before TC. Maybe he'd answer it by stating, "Scott, looks like we are only going with 3 TE's this season and we feel good about winding up with a solid group from the guys we have on our 90 man roster right now.
After him, the team has probably the worst TE corps in the entire league.
I'd agree that Gronk is the best TE in the NFL. After him, there are just bodies. Again, if you think that what waits behind him isn't among the worst in the league at the TE position, you're more than welcome to try to make that case. That the Pats are even looking at a remaining FA at the position should show you that the FO actually agrees with me.
