Who Breaks Out? (Harper, Dobson or Martin)

[CISGS]

Great thread. Edelman has pretty much been playing on the outside as a possession receiver as Amendola wasn't able to make an impact there. I kind of like Harper the most, but Martin is proably more of your natural outside WR and will probably be more impactful this week. I would like to see what Harper would do and I hope he gets some playing time.

I think we feel the exact same way. I think Harper has A LOT of upside. He is so fast out of breaks, and would be great for screens.

I think Keshawn right now is a lot like Deion Branch (like previously mentioned).

Dobson we have kept him around for what could be its put up or shut up

With our luck he will be diagnosed with Laryngitis over the weekend.....and we will have to wait another $&@^*! Week to find out!!!!!! )

Unfortunately part of it is that BB HATES to admit that HE was wrong during a draft or trade a lot of times.....that is why Chad Johnson was here for soooo long!!!

I went with Dobson. I saw him get behind defenders a few times in that Giants game. Something has to be there for the Pats to hang on to him so long.

Dobson has the size and skills, but not the heart and mentality.

I'm still hoping he breaks out. Ive been hoping for that since 2013 season when he had all those drops.

Unfortunately....he is probably going to go down as a bust.....

I'd go with Dobson, for this only reason: Brady went to him a couple times in the last drive against the Giants, (the fake spike and a deep pass) neither connected but it showed that Brady has some confidence in him.

He actually targeted him 4 times on that drive, with one completion on a quick out. TB was heavily pressured on each of the 2 deep passes, where he did appear to have some separation

Um, what?

Chad Johnson was here for one season.
Chad Jackson (if that's what you meant) was here for two, and he was hurt for most of that.

If anything, the opposite of what you said is actually true.
