Even then, was he a 'man among boys' or did he take time (senior year) to excel?? Or was he a star even in his sophmore year? Chad will get lots of chances to play in pre-season. Count on that. Furthermore, with the looks of our current depth at WR, he will probably get many snaps in regular season. But don't expect him to get many catches during the regular season. Don't get me wrong, I think he will contribute and be very productive this year for a rookie - but Brady likes to spread the ball around so don't expect many games where he has 5-7 catches. I will venture he will get 2-4 catches almost every game. You will see typically anywhere from 6-9 different players catching a pass from Brady in a regular season game. The ball goes everywhere: WR's, TE's, HB's, FB's and the occasional LB (Mike Vrabel). But he will get the chances and be able to grow at his own pace. He will not be rushed out their before he is ready which is why I believe you will see him alot in the preseason so BB can try him out in numerous formations and positions (slot, wide out, everything). Believe, me - we Pats fans are THRILLED to have someone with great upside in the WR position to compliment the BEST QB in the league. It could be a great 'marriage'. I just hope he is not the prima donna type of player that needs the ball 6-8 times a game as that is just not gonna happen in this offense. It seems that the best WR's in the NFL also have the biggest egos and the most selfish attitudes. And that just won't fly on a BB team. As BB has said - there is no 'I' in the word 'TEAM'. GO PATS! (I KNOW I ain't the only one looking foward to some porpoise chum this season).

PARAGRAPHS ? Hvad er det for noget?CopenhagenPatsfan said:Ever hear of paragraphs? bare for sjov
5 Rings for Brady!! said:I asked about Chad's rhoutes on another thread. I heard he is not that polished compared to Santa Holmes, but this may be the thing he needs to work on the most. I believe if we made a decent #2 WR out of Givens, we can make a decent #1 out of Jackson (at least by the time he is ready for free agency ). I am sure he will have excellent coaching and be given every opportunity to succeed.
I doubt he will be lazy like Bethel in learning his rhoutes.
rookBoston said:The only question are kicker, depth at linebacker, starting wide receiver, and the ST coverage unit. Chad, Monty and Gostkowski are the three guys that really have to step us for us this year to be the best team in the NFL. Anything we get from Moroney, Thomas, Mills, O'Callaghan, Smith and Wee Willie is absolute bonus.
It's a nice thing, having all this talent.
