It's easy, and only takes a few moments.This team has failed to develop receivers for so many years it’s almost comical. The last time a non-free agent receiver actually played well through his rookie contract was Deion Branch. Remember, even Edelman was going to walk in 2013 for peanuts, having never developed under Brady because Welker got all the reps.
So I am glad Brady will be FORCED to use Meyers and Harry, two of the more promising rookie receivers we’ve had in a while. Maybe it’s going to take a loss, some miscommunication, a couple of interceptions, but Brady needs to start developing younger players or the team will continue to roll with a bunch of veteran scratch tickets every year and a prayer that Edelman doesn’t regress (though he should have by now based on his age.). It had been years of band aids and reliance on superstars to cover up a weak WR development system between Brady and talented young WRs who need actual experience to improve.
I did not feel this way in 2013 about Thompkins and Dobson, though the team did still manage to be one of the top scoring offenses in the league. But I am excited that finally Brady will be forced to trust the younger guys. Sanu is a good player, but giving up a second round pick for him shows the level of desperation this team has gotten at WR. Let me reiterate that in an alternate universe, Edelman signs with the Giants in 2013 and we never knew what he could have become, despite four years of practicing with Brady.
This could be an a embarrassing face-plant on offense and loss. It could also finally be the game where the offense forges an identity. It’s up to Harry and Meyers, but equally, it is up to Brady and McDaniels.
I know! You made a similar point that I quoted too and everything got jumbledLol I didn't say that, not sure why my name shows up. Weird.

That's a gross distortion of his point. All he's saying is that when a starter is replaced by an unknown backup, sometimes you learn that the backup is better than you thought. It will certainly be interesting to watch Harry and Meyers, although any sane person would prefer to have the starters healthy.

Then how can you explain overlooking Edelman’s receiving talent from 2009-12?
Better now than to use both of them all season and have them suspended in December.I’m not a bit glad. This is what happens when you release both brown and Gordon
Thanks. The interesting and most relevant number from this data to me is the catch percentage as a number of targets. That breaks down as the following:
