While your point is duly noted, and I certainly agree with it on some level, do we really have any WR on the team who isn't a baby against physical corners?
Better yet, how many of the middle to upper class WRs in this league aren't babies against physical corners? There aren't that many, and obviously we'd want any of those guys who fit the criteria on our team. If anything, we need a physical playing WR more than we need a deeper, speedier threat in my opinion.
Although the deep threat would open up more underneath routes which are still our bread/butter and draw attention, some of those skills are definitely going to go wasted due to the fact that we don't throw the ball deeply that often, aside for a playaction shot here and there to keep the defense honest. Brady's quicker release, timing based offense, and ability to take advantage of mismatches with pre-snap reads etc are the strengths of this QB, and it's why I'd love to have a physical specimen who is dependable like that of Anquan Boldin--even though it's nothing more than a pipe dream.
