We are 8-3. Last year at this point in the season with your omnipotent duo of Branch and Givens we were 6-5.
Perhaps our WRs are better than you think, or perhaps Givnes and Branch were not as good as you think, or perhaps the instead of spending $25 mil for Givens and $39 mil for Branch, we found a better use for the money, something that helped the team more.
It's probablyl a combination of the three (weighted toward not paying out all that money for a couple of WRs), but there is no doubt we are better off with the team we have than to have Givens and Branch and the effect they would have on the cap. 8-3 vs 6-5.
Other opinions may differ, of course.
Perhaps the WRs with 4 catches are better than we think? Add up all the catches of all the WRs since the Colts game. Not very impressive.
And we did find a use for the money, it went into Kraft's bankroll.
You do realize that Brady led the league in yards last year and the problems were on Defense? And you do realize that we went from one of the tougher schedules in NFL history to start with last year to an absolute cakewalk this year?
Even Jackson has not been spectacular in his limited opportunities, although it is far to early to know what to make of him.
