I am not here trying to make comparisons but remember Troy Brown? He was buried under the depth charts for seven years. His first year as a starter was 2000, recording 83 catches, 944 yards, and 4TD. This is technically JE's first year as a true starter and so far he has made the best of his opportunities. Tied for lead league in catches and already has 2 TD's. Its safe to assume that there is a possibility that he can surpass what Troy Brown did in 2000. Again, I'm not saying JE is anywhere near Troy Brown...one could only hope
Im just saying that sometimes players need time to develop and given an opportunity.
I think you're putting a lot of stock in Amendola as a player and I'm not exactly sure what you can base it on other than stats and athletic metrics? I say this because unless you pay for a package you very rarely see the Rams on national television so unless I'm missing something you've concluded Amendola to be part the a top slot combination in the NFL.
Would you care to explain why you have this view?
In other words, you'll see Edelman and Amendola on the field together a lot. It's Dobson who will probably see his playing time cut when Amendola comes back, because Dobson still doesn't look entirely ready.
Anyone that watched Troy his whole career knows that he exploded at every position he was given a chance at. He forced himself into the lineup by being ready any time he had the chance.
Players are individuals. comparing them because of stats or situations can be meaningless. Use your eyes, watch them play.
This is how I look at it. Past years we've used Welker, Gronk, and Hernandez working the middle of the field.... Why can't we use Gronk, Amendola, and Edelman?
That is pretty much exactly how I viewed your opinion.It is not even that you have to be gentler, but if you want to make a statement like that you should at least provide something to support it, to expect that you can just disagree by making some abrupt comment and have that hold any merit in my mind as anything other than barbaric is absurd Andy. If you disagree with something I say or a question I ask that is fine but we’re both grown men do not come at me as if my question is not even worthy of anything other than a response that suggests disgust. Do I ever treat you with that level of disrespect Andy, ever?
