Question for people following the team pre-Super Bowl wins... or anyone in the know :
How many Patriots have started slow to one day contribute in a major way ? Recently, other than a few exceptions, those that have become contributors have shown flashes early.
Ben Watson and Brandon Meriweather both contributed nothing as rookies, and ended up being multi-year starters on some very good teams. Vereen did pretty much nothing as a rookie.
It really depends on how you look at Dobson's season last year. If you consider that to be starting slow, then there's lots of examples of guys with similar production that ended up being really good for us.
