Edelman Injury Seems to Now Be Confirmed

[Bruins29]

I'm going to be the dumb dumb to ask this:

The SB is 6.5 months away. Any chance he could play?

If its a tear no way

That's my little brother, I love that dude to death. FYI Pats fans, I just heard from him and he's in good spirits. Prayers up for #11!

Are we even sold on Gilmore yet

Sold a hell of a lot more on him than Butler. Guy is getting shredded out there.

Hopefully thismeans it's not as bad as reported.

No.

If its a tear no way

Figured. A quick google search showed 6 months to full activity on some sites but obviously the NFL isn't rec league basketball. AP did it in about 8 months.

I AM SAYING...THE GIRLS WHO CRIED ABOUT WES LEAVING SAID HE COULD NEVER BE REPLACED BY LOWLY JULIAN EDELMAN...THE LOSS IS HUGE!
NOW IM SAYING THE LOSS OF JE IS THE SAME.
FOLLOW?

My position on Welker/Edelman has always been pretty straightforward.

Welker is the better short space receiver, and is the best slotWR TB12's ever played with. He gets (got) open faster than any other receiver TB12's ever played with.

Edelman is not as good in short space, but he adds a better 'deep'/outside dimension. He's also more injury prone than WW.



But that's irrelevant here, because neither is available.

PS football is starting to feel like the Pro Bowl

I do not think Carr will factor much early if they keep him, maybe Burkhead will see a fair amount of snaps there. He did play there for Cincy. But I think Carr could see an increasing role later.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Edelman had over 90 rec with over 1000 yards compared to hogan who had 38 receptions. Hogan'a gonna have to take his game to another level. Boy this really sucks!

Honestly believe Butler is in his own head at this point. He thought he was gonna be traded into a nice contract extension with a new team in the off-season, and when it didn't happen he knows the pressure is on.
Belichick gold!

I like the idea of seeing if Burkhead can do the Edleman role

Burkhead reminds me of a bigger Danny Woodhead, who was a good receiver (Jetes tried to make him a WR). Lots of options, but it's not the same without Edelman, one of my all time favorites, and obviously one of Brady's all time favorites.

Well this is depressing

James987654, you are trolling and doing a horrible job of it.

you're such a cutie pie...

 

[Brownfan80]

****. He's done.

 

[AvocadoIceCream]

So the team CAN overcome this injury given the personnel still available

The problem is we haven't played a game yet and are without one of toms favorite targets

So, now, the margin of error is shrinking and we can't afford an injury to a player like Gronk.

 

[Love The Drake]

So do we trade for a vet WR or go with a young pup in Carr?

 

[TommyD4207]

Everyone seems to love Carr on this board.

Not everyone.
