LaFell is a huge loss; Pats front office makes rare mistake

Sammie Coates can't even beat out Hayward-bey right now and anybody could pick up the steelers offense.

I agree with you about it being virtually impossible to try and project who would fit here and how they'd do. It's a complex system, so players who do well on other teams may not have done well here.

That said, Sammie Coates has actually led the team in receptions over the preseason, so he seems to be doing better than you may be suggesting. Of course, we won't know for a couple/few years how he pans out there.
