It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Marty was practically retired when he got here and then he saw a chance at a SB and a QB that was great and gave us all the gas he had left. Packers then paid for an empty tank. We tried to rinse and repeat but it was truly empty 2nd time. Guy did have a heck of a season though.Shoulda kept Matty B instead of letting the Packers ruined him. Allen is not a offensive threat. Develin has more targets.
My observation was he looked pretty checked out during the season as well. However, he played well and it was a great trade for the Pats. He should’ve caught that game winning TD in the Super Bowl. It would’ve been a nice “f*** you to the Cowboys. The Cowboys missed a real opportunity with him and Witten. Interesting story from Bennett claiming Witten wasn’t a very good teammate. And it’s funny how he can’t stand Jason Garrett.Marty was practically retired when he got here and then he saw a chance at a SB and a QB that was great and gave us all the gas he had left.

I think there was some fragmented bone.The guy was a warrior. I think his anlke was held together with tape in that game.
I am salivating at the thought of a healthy, functioning JG and Gronk on the field at the same time. .
That would have to strike fear in any opponent.

I don’t think Defensive coordinators/ defenses are gonna like “E-G-Gs” anymore.It evens things up with the Chiefs and Steelers.
NE - Edelman, Gordon, Gronk
KC - Hill, Watkins, Kelce
PITT - Brown, Juju, James
Burkhead, White, Hogan and Dorsett are gravy. I've lost hope in Patterson.

Also, don’t forget about Michel.
Perhaps even more than any dramatic contributions from Gordon, I'd like to Michel get going on the ground a bit. Even 10-12 totes for +/- 50 yards would be enough of a benchmark for me.

He is an exceptional blocker just like you are an exceptional idiotAllen is more like Tits on a bull.
Actually, I think Hogan may benefit the most. It seems to me that defenses are more likely to loosen their coverage on Hogan than on Gronk.
In terms of "deep threats", in 2016 Hogan tied with DeSean Jackson for the league lead in YPC (17.9 yards). Hogan had fewer tgts and receptions, but a higher catch rate, a higher TD percentage, a higher YAC percentage, a higher 1st-down percentage and a higher 20+ percentage.
That same season, when Gronk was healthy he was even a bigger "deep threat". Among players with 25 or more catches, Gronk averaged 21.6 YPC.
While the Pats didn't have a Moss or Gordon to draw coverages away from Gronk and Hogan, they did have Edelman, Bennett, Mitchell, White and Amendola cranking out 1st downs in the short and intermediate levels.
