The Patriots already have a superstar at Tight End. What the Patriots need is for him to improve as the season progresses much like every other player.Ausbacker,
You have just described BB's modus operandi to a T, as I see it. Many here can't understand that philosophy of ignoring aquiring superstars at those "Skill" positions and merely settling for good or even acceptable players there.
But Belichick the economist, knows the CAP won't stretch to pay for superstars everywhere. Many a stupid coach, and long losing organization constantly re-prove that. BB would rather spend his resources on more "important positions", that he believes are in approximate order QB, LOT, DE, DT, CB, TE and LB. and he does so with few exceptions.
Once Gronk is back to 80% of himself, provided the OL improves, the Patriots O will improve tremendously (assuming McDaniels wakes up and starts calling decent games).
