I like Danny Amendola. He did well when he was with the RAMS and that probably played a huge part in Bringing him to NE. I understand that last season he didn't do as well with the Pats, but I still think he's a pretty good wide receiver. He may not be as good as Wes Welker at the moment. However, in time there's a possibility that may change.
Some may call it excuses, but I do feel there are legitimate reasons why Danny hasn't done as well. The biggest reason is that he completely tore the tendon muscle from his groin. Had he not torn his groin muscle, he probably would have done much better than he has. I feel some people are too hard on the poor guy and should try to give the young man a chance. The guy does his best given the circumstances and wants to help the team.
Some say that other football players have played with injury and have done better than Danny. That may be true, but people need to remember everyone's body is different. Some people can play through injury better than others. The person's genetics, environment, health etc all play into how well someone deals with an injury. At the end of the day how or if the person heals from their injury, illness, aliment etc is ultimately in God's hands.
What I think is great though is how Danny is using his platform to help other people and he is doing that with his charity catches for kids. His acts of kindness just go to show that there really are good people in this world and that there is more to life than winning football games. Don't get me wrong winning football games is important, but what most people will remember any football player for in the long run is the type of character they had and the impact they had on other people.
Anyways that just my two cents. Great thread Deus!

A small excerpt of the poem I linked above.
"What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched,
empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.What will matter is not your competence but your character."
