No - it’s obvious sarcasm as a response to the definitive Player X is better than Player Y. Just look at the depth chart! mentality. Brady over Bledsoe is the obvious reference here, but Amendola was supposed to be the #1 receiver in 2013, got dinged up, and allowed Edelman the opportunity to emerge as well.
The Patriots don’t have bad receivers. Dorsett and Sanu aren’t bad receivers. But we know their ceilings, and we know the passing has some serious issues, and it isn’t just because of the protection. Meyers has 15 catches on 19 targets while Harry has the most raw athleticism on the team. Is it possible the passing game improves? They’ve been putrid running it with Edelman and a bunch of B-minus to C other receivers.
When it comes to such things as this, something that happens very rarely should not be preferred over something that happens almost all the time.
The Patriots drafted Brady at #199. You may have noticed that such a pick hasn't led the Patriots to trading away every pick that's above #199.
