IMO what the pats need is a anquan boldin, type who can go over the middle deep and take the big hit a guy like that would free up moss,
The Pats have one of the best speed receivers in the history of the game, albeit aging.
They also have one of the best pure slot receivers in the history of the game, albeit injured.
The youngsters who seem like they have the best chance to turn into WR stars also fit into the "speed" or "slot" buckets. But none of those youngsters is proven as a backup beyond the JAG level. (Even Edelman as of now, although we hope he'll make big offseason strides and zoom beyond that stage.)
What the Pats don't have at a quality better than Aiken is a guy who can sort of act as a speed receiver, sort of act as a slot receiver, and sort of act as a big end-zone target. Gaffney was that guy, and Watson should have been, but -- well, it isn't what it isn't.
So the idea of bringing in a classic versatile big #2 WR makes all the sense in the world to me. But note that he's really the #3 whenever Moss and Welker are both healthy, so going for a bargain is IMO an acceptable gamble ...
What's his 40 time? And what about his work ethic? The last thing we need is another dog-faker in this retrieving corps.
My boy is ready to be signed, he's been waiting for this day!
Sign the beast, the ***** and the beechMy 12 year-old Golden Retriever had ACL surgery two years ago, she was catching footballs approx 4 months after surgery.
TPLO or TTA or Lateral Suture Technique? IMO, the TPLO is the most solid and longest lasting.
Seeing that Golden Retrievers can run approx 30mph, according to my math she can a 40 it in about 3.3 seconds..Plus she is a long-strider with quick-twitch!
Catching Ability: High and low
Salary Demands: Lamb & Rice and her squirrel. Jet propelled from all that lamb-induced methane gas; no wonder she is so fast.
Team Play: Never shares the ball. Very questionable But her big brown eyes are so "fetching"
Organizational Loyalty: Highest Level She knows where to find each and every bone she's buried over the years
Sign the beech!
I've given this a lot of thought and since I am a veterinarian I think I have come up with the perfect retriever for the Pats to get.
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever

General Description of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a hardy and resilient beast designed to retrieve footballs in cold weather, sometimes even breaking ice to do so, and the features of the beast reflect this purpose. The eyes are large and clear, amber in color, and convey an expression of intelligence. The neck, shoulders, back and chest are powerful and well muscled. The hindquarters are exceptionally strong, making this beast a remarkable runner in mud, snow or ice; webbed feet also help to propel this beast through water.
Chesapeake Bay Retriever Temperament-a little nasty
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is the toughest and most independent of the retrieving breeds. Unlike the always-sociable Labrador Retriever, the Chesapeake is generally aggressive around strangers and is protective of its team. Despite its somewhat distant character around strangers , the Chessie is exceptionally obedient toward its coach and teammates. For an owner looking for the playful qualities inherent in the retrieving breeds as well as a team protector, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a fantastic choice. While the beast is happiest when it is able to play and catch outdoors, it is also happy to play in domes.
Seems to be a perfect fit for the Pats!
