Imperative the Patriots Fix the Tight End Position

You can't fix stupid. If he was thrown to more he would have more yardage. He was asked to block more, especially during the second half of the season, instead of going out to catch passes, so he didn't put up many yards.

Here is some math for you. 30 catches at 10 yards per catch is 300 yards, 20 catches at 13 yards per catch is 260 yards. See how yards per catch doesn't over come the number of catches you make in this example?

So DropKick asked a legitimate question, and the answer, from another thread and by looking at his numbers, was Yes he was asked to block more so he didn't put up that many yards.

Speaking of math, I have a problem for anyone to solve. I learned this 58 years ago in my HS freshman math class and it stuck.
Start with A=B
If you multiply both sides by A you get A²=AB
If you subtract B² from both sides you get A²-B²=AB-B²
If you factor that you get (A+B)(A-B)=B(A-B)
If you divide both sides by (A-B) you get A+B=B
Since A=B you can substitute B for A and get 2B=B
If you divide both sides by B that leaves 2=1
What was the mistake that left us with 2=1, which we know isn't true.

Divide by zero

I guess Belichick had the balls to admit he can't draft a WR or TE worth sh*t anymore.

The TE position is now fixed, kinda...But I would've signed a Jesse James/Kyle Rudolf-type of TE before signing two of basically the same player.

 

[captain stone]

Jesse James was released by Detroit. Patricia loves the guy.

I think he'd fit here beautifully. No Hunter Henry or Jonnu Smith, but I'd love to see them bring him in.

I meant that James was no HH or JS, but I'd take him.

Rather have those two, of course!

I'd rather have ALL 3, or preferably one of each (meaning EITHER Jonnu or Henry, not both) and the money spent elsewhere.

I obviously approve of the last 48 hours for tight end. I think Agholar was overpaid

Yup. It helped me remember that rule forever.
