Not happening. I’ve been here 11 years and contribute money to the forum. I have the right to my opinion
And with all due respect, man, you'd think a guy who's been on this board for 11 years would be a lot more knowledgeable about NFL football.
You and iapatsfan keep whining about wrs.
Ok we have basically a rookie QB stepping in. How do you put him in the best situation to maximize his success?
And not have him get beaten senseless?
In order of importance, #1 BY FAR, is a strong ol that can run block and protect the qb.
Done.
#2 strong running game-especially if it's paired with a strong defense, which we have.
#3 te position. This was the biggest need position on the team. Not wr.
Done.
Wrs are still the least important position on offense. A guard like Thuney is more valuable than a probowl wr, especially to an inexperienced QB.
Not saying wrs are not important, they're just less important than the other positions on offense.
If Stid is getting hammered play after play, doesn't matter who your wrs are- he could have Julio Jones and Michael Thomas- he's not getting the ball to him.
NFL defenses are sophisticated. He's not.
Neither was Brady his first couple years.( though due to his incredible competitive nature and work ethic he got there quicker than most).
Stidham needs a running game to take pressure off him. That sets up play action which is one of the easiest things for a young QB to have success with.
A strong ol to give him time. Go through his progressions.
A defense to keep opponent scoring down which in turn, keeps pressure off Stidham. Edelman can still get open.
Harry will be better this year. How much remains to be seen. On paper, a pair of competent tes.
Plus the wr picture is not complete.
There will be udfas, possible trades, guys get cut.
Belichick addressed the biggest needs in the draft.
It's a starting point.
We also don't know how good Stidham can be. Makes no sense to invest big $ in wrs if your QB is a stiff.
If all goes well, next year would be the time for that.
