What team was clamoring to sign JE11 for big money? Gronk is the one hall of fame player they had, and he wasn't even a receiver. I'm not saying they would be worse adding Deebo Samuel, I'm simply saying the Patriots aren't in the business of paying one receiver huge money and would rather spread the ball around to 5 good players rather than one great player. And it's proven a better strategy for them over and over again. Every year we saw the "Dynasty" of the Chiefs or Colts put up gaudy numbers in the regular season and then fail when teams schemed away their offensive talent in the post season.LOL..!! Really? That’s the standard you’re trying to set? They have to win *2* Super Bowls to prove that having a #1 WR is a good thing?? Lololololllll
The 4 teams in last year’s CCGs ALL had clear cut #1 receivers who finished in the top 7 in yardage. 6 of the top 8 WRs last year help lead their teams to the divisional round.
But you go ahead and cling to the completely moronic idea that we would be worse off adding a Deebo Samuel type to this team…. With you displaying that much idiocy, there’s no point in trying to logically show you how wrong you are.
Wtf planet are you living on where the Patriots didn’t have #1 receivers during the championship years?? Troy Brown caught 1,200 yards in 2001 - and this was a day where 1,200 yards put him in the top-10 in the League. Deion Branch, Julien Edelman, Rob Gronkowski are all legit #1’s receiving options and they’re all a helluva lot better than anyone catching passes in Foxboro today.
But yeah…. Keep telling us we’d have been better off without Edelman and Gronk….. It's such a stupid argument, I can't believe you remember to breathe throughout the day.
Deon Branch finished with a mediocre career, Troy Brown had one really amazing year and a couple of good years on either side of that. You're talking about guys that flashed for a few years, but never put together a stellar overall career. Basically proving my point. The Pats have done it by getting the most of good but not hall of fame WR's. I mean, you literally made my point better than I did. Great job, thank you for that.
Personally, I'll go with the strategy the greatest HC of all time has employed again and again to bring home championships. You can continue to cry about Deebo Samuels.
