Oh, sorry pedant. We "could have" gotten Sanders but if we did we would have been morons. Cue the "Robert Kraft Is Cheap!" marching band.[/QUOTE
It would be moronic to sign a WR who is outperforming Every WR on our roster yet people defend Amendola. LMAOÔOOOOOOOOOO!! They should have made a stronger offer to Sanders when the steelers matched. They pay the slower more limited Amendola $31million but Sanders $2.5 million. Yeah that's not moronic. And you wonder why Brady6 has gone from frustrated with Amendola to downright hate. And let me get this right its better to pay Loser Lafell and completely waste $3million a year than Sanders $5-6 million, a guy who has more yards and ypc than any WR on the patriot roster. So they could have paid a little extra and had Sanders but played it cheap with Loser Lafell and flat out waste $3 million.
I like Dobson and Kenbrell a lot but as of yet there is no proof they will break out. If they don't it means they go into the playoffs with the same offense that has stalled last several playoffs including a Superbowl. And Gronk isn't 100% and at what point do acl injuries and all the other injuries take their toll on his speed,burst and athleticism. We all want him to return to form and I personally think he will. Still wouldn't hurt to have a complete Big play WR. For the members who don't think Sander can be as good with Brady as he is with the broncos doesn't say good things bout Brady and our offense and system. And Edelman is not better than Sanders. they are about even maybe and that's being nice to Edelman. He simply does not have the explosiveness and athleticism of Emmanuel Sanders and he can do things that Edelman can't. Yeah all Homers click disagree button. Fact is Edelman was on the open market after 100 catch season and nobody cared. Patriots told him go test the market and he came back with no real viable offers. I'm happy he did because at least it gives Brady a security blanket. He got no offers because of he is limited. He is good at what he does but is limited. Teams know that, and part of his production is the system and chemistry with Brady after 6 seasons. Its why we would have had to outbid other teams for Emmanuel Sanders. Teams saw his movement skills and actually wanted him. He was even offered a little more than the broncos payed him but wanted to play with Brady or Manning. So the patriots turned to the cheaper Loser Lafail who no other team wanted. Teams have lots of scouts watching tape on these guys in the nfl, not college and analyze their talent and ceiling and Emmanuel Sanders was the WR everybody wanted. That's why the patriots did not get him, they wanted him but so did other teams so they settled for the cheaper guy nobody else wanted. And the patriots offered him more than they offered Edelman that year but the steelers matched the offer. Edelman came back with zero offers and resigned for $700,000. He was the only WR Brady had experience with and became to go to guy. I like Edelman and rooted for him to take Welkers role and always knew he could. But he isn't an elite WR and the offense needs a complete and consistent big play WR to step up or brought aboard by a trade. I agree with Sterling Sharpe, I like Denarius Moore better than Sanders, he needs a qb and system like Sharp said. I'm rooting for Dobson and Kenbrell, especially Kenbrell but until somebody does step up, like somebody here said, them being consistent big play WRs in the offense is an urban legend. And until there is a proven complete playmaker they can't have enough prospects
