#FreeKendrickBourne -- Should Kendrick Bourne start against Steelers in Week2?

[PatsFan2]

This is one of those things where Mac has to step in and let Matt know who he wants in the game.

Give me my guy who can get open or I'm go to RK!

Yes, Kendrick Bourne a/k/a the Patriots best wide receiver, should start against the Steelers.

 

[Zuma]

Yeah Zuma, from what I'm hearing, we'll be seeing more of Bourne going forward. Should be interesting to see who see's less time but I'm thinking after that Agholar's fumble, it might be him.

Not putting the best offensive player on the field except for 2 plays is beyond stupidity...it's in a completely new dimensional realm of dumb. He better be in there 80% of the plays going forward. Thank you Ashley.

Yep Offense is in transition and we are almost benching a playmaker at-least Bourne showed them in very limited snaps mind you that he's better than both Parker and Agholor. The jury isn't out anymore they came back in.

OMG, now he's not only the "Patriots' best receiver," he's the "best offensive player." You mean just on the Patriots, right?

Yes, I say play him, and say it just worked out that way. Work him into the rotation with Parker, Meyers, and Agholor. Start him? meh. That's 4 guys, 2-3 positions. Don't care who gets the start, but he's earned a good look.

Or else take an offer and get it over with so we can stop with the canonization.

No a message must be sent that if you’re late in the preseason you must be punished 5 weeks later even if it contributes to you losing the game and losing your QB’s respect.

Make him do community service. Who cares if he starts? Give him snaps otherwise why is he wasting a roster spot? He needs to play .. get your pound of flesh some other way it won't hurt the team

Not only is Kendrick Bourne the best offensive player on the Patriots....but he can also perform brain surgery and walk on water.

I take it you missed SB52

He was the team's best WR last year (or, in order to avoid sidetracking the argument, the team's second best WR behind Meyers). The only WR addition currently worth discussing is Parker. Is it your position that Parker>Bourne? If not, why should Bourne not be getting at least WR2 snap numbers?

 

[Zuma]

Yeah I know

 

[Sicilian]

Assuming he's learned whatever he needs to learn, then yes. But this isn't Madden. You don't just look at who has the highest rating and put them in the lineup. It sends a terrible message if you reward a player who isn't all in just because he might be a little more talented than someone else. Sure, if this was Jerry Rice, you find a way to live with it, but it's Kendrick Bourne. And I like Bourne, I predicted a big year for Bourne, but you don't muck with your system of discipline for the Kendrick Bourne's of the world.

If he's back to being all in now, great. Play him a whole bunch.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Why did we get Patricia? It should've been Flores as offensive coordinator. Hell we could've gotten wes welker

Do you think you follow this team enough to make that assumption? Where have you been the last few months, oh wait never mind. lol

 

[ashley]

There needs to be better balance, Parker can't be getting 57 reps next game. I think we're moving in that direction.

57 useless snaps he was napping back there with the CB.
