LOL. "It wasn't that way with Troy Bown, David Givens, Deion Branch and David Patten" REALLY? Let's take a look at the facts, shall we?
Rookie Season Comparison:
*****************
Troy Brown: 2 Rec, 22 Yds 0 TD
David Givens: 9 Rec, 92 Yds 1 TD
Deion Branch: 43 rec 489 Yds 2 TD
David Patten: 13 Rec 226 Yds 2 TD
Now:
Thompkins: 32 Rec 466 Yds 4 TD
Dobson: 37 Rec 519 Yds 4 TD
Boyce was hurt most of the season and came on at the end. Even with that, he had a better rookie season than either Brown or Givens.
Really. In the age of the internet, you couldn't have taken a few moments to look this stuff up before trying to toss that up there?

If the Pats passing game lives or dies because of the TE position then they dont have good enough WRs. It wasnt that way with Troy Brown, Givens, Branch and Patten.
Hernandez played in the 2012 AFCC and NE never scored a point in the 2nd half. And, this is the 3rd consecutive season that NE has failed to win a SB and Gronk not being able to play was the excuse.
Kraft should put a new banner up at Gillette "If Gronk had played we would have won"
