Here's the thing, IMO
In week one, Edelman had one catch as the WR2 under the new system. In week 2, even with Hernandez going down early and Welker not getting targeted until the 2 minute warning at the end of the first half, Edelman only managed to ring up 5 catches for 50 yards. For all the sunshine McD was trying to blow about Edelman, he's been a failure through 2 games. Now, it's only been 2 games, and maybe Edelman really is all that the team is claiming, but we're certainly not seeing it on the field. On top of that, for all the "Edelman is great after the catch" claims, Edelman's averaging less than 10 ypc for his career to date. So, it's not being patchwork that's the issue to me, because I expect Winslow to be an adequate replacement for Hernandez in 3 of the 5 "use" positions/functions (tight receiving/tight blocking/slot receiving). The issue to me is whether they use this time of being patchwork to pull back on the Edelman experiment.
I'm not sure 5 for 50 should be considered a failure per se, as even with Hernandez out he should be the fourth option after Lloyd, Welker, and Gronk. But I agree that Edelman isn't the ideal candidate for any position on this team, be it outside (where Branch should be better) or slot (where Welker is clearly better). His real value lies in being able to fill in for both, allowing them to limit both player's reps to save some legs.
