Just come in any thread about WRs or cap space and say something that would be perceived as negative about Amendola and your notifications will be blowing up.Man. I never get this many notifications. Damn draft forum
Yes I think we would have. I do not think that you made any plays that the majority of WRs in the NFL would not have made, so who ever was on the field instead of you would have got it done. Outside of 51 yards on a trick play you had 10 catches for 78 yards in 3 playoff games. I'm not building a statue in front of Gillette for you.
"Thank you for coming clean and finally providing an honest self-assessment of your unfathomable campaign against me."
Umm yeah that's it. I love how when posters cannot reasonably answer legitimate questions or provide anything that supports them supporting Amendola they turn it into some campaign of conspiracy against him on the part of me. It really highlights how weak of a position you are taking when you cannot speak in facts and have to attempt to sway the opinion of others with accusations of malicious intentions. The sad part is there are posters who buy into the nonsense and actually think that the things I say about Amendola are because I don't like him instead of realizing that what I say is factual and supported by game tape and stats while what you are suggesting is something you came up with sitting behind a computer screen in an attempt to save face. The fact is players like Wilfork and Vereen, etc. are unlikely to be hear because of the bad contract of players who failed to meet expectations with Amendola leading that charge. Had we not signed him we wouldn't have a nearly $6M cap hit, even if we kept Welker his contract is up. The player you are so intent on supporting is the reason we are over the cap and cuttings or letting better players test the market.
It is what it is.
Actually, he led the NFL in KR and Ret. yards his rookie year and led the NFL in APY in 2010. I personally agree that yes, he is overpayed, just not as grossly as you seem to veiw him. Not factoring in his return capabilities is ignoring the overall impact he has on the club. If he were say, a 2.5-3 mil 4-5th veteren receiving option and the main KR and backup PR when Julian gets banged up I'd say that's not so crazy.
Ok but that was not the question. If Amendola were not on the field there would have been another player in his place, so the question remains, were those plays only plays that could have been made by Amendola or could most NFL WRs make those same plays? Do you think if the coaches chose to put Tim Wright out their instead that those yards would not have been gained and those points would not have been scored?
Where did his KR average, PR average and YPC average rank against his peers?
Was he injured in the Colts playoff game too? Or what/who was to blame for him having 1 catch for 8 yards and a drop? I obviously know it was not Amendola to blame.
Oh I am sorry. I forgot the rule here was that if you say anything positive about Danny Amendola (if that is even allowed) that you have to come under fire from the resident Jihadist.
One final question that's been bugging me for a while now: Does Danny Amendola's name come up in your therapy sessions?
LMAO Manchurian Candidate trigger word for sure.
You wrote that he never accomplished anything other than 689 receiving yards. You did not include his contributions in the kicking game. Bill trusts him as a returner. He's a SB winning HC. Me thinks he knows what he's doing.

Danny Amendola made $200K per catch in the regular season last year.
Amendola did what he was expected to do when we signed him in 2-3 games this season, why the hell do you see that as a positive? Do you think that he signed a 5 year $31M deal to be the #3 WR and perform at a level of expectation in 15% of the games.
