Fantastic news on bourne, passing offense is now as close to full strength as you can ask at this point. Rushing offense rides on how healthy and effective harris is on that leg. If he can even handle 10-15 times thats great. Id like to see alot of playaction if buffalo still has that 40+ carry performance in their heads.
I used a cursory example of how the Patriots value reliable WRs. The Pats offense has virtually always been structured towards the short pass. The exception to that rule was when Moss was in NE where the Pats threw deep via no huddle to the tune of 50 passing TDs.
Its not my job to explain to you that the Pats have not been a team that relies on deep threat WRs.
This whole thing about Agholor is ridiculous. Belichick does not expend valuable defensive resource's to cover KC Chiefs Pringle because he is running deep routes. The Pats defense locks down Kelce and Hill.
Again with the strawman- no one is saying Agholor is a “replacement” for Randy moss, or that he is a hall of famer… Come on… We are showing that you cannot just take stats such as catch % to grade a player without context (such as their role).
The fact that he runs deep routes IS a big deal when you’re out here trying to use catch % as a stand-alone stat to evaluate players lol
No one is saying Mac is “doomed” or that Agholor is going to get more than 5-8 targets (seriously where did that come from????)
Agholor is a guy who provides some value. The passing game can be just fine without him. Evaluating him as a drops guy because he had ONE this season that sticks in your mind is dumb. That’s all there is to it. Stop building up fake arguments you want people to be making so you can be right.

This is some of the best unintentional comedy I've read in some time.

"Catch rate is everything for a NE WR or TE.
The best that there ever was all were in the 66% range for their NE careers and exactly where the Patriots like to be on offense.
Gronk 65.6 %
Brown 65.8 %
Edelman 65.9 %
Welker 72.6 %
Agholor has a history of drops. Other people here have made reference to it. He will go the way of these 3 in their final seasons in NE if it continues.
Sanu 55 %
Gordon 55 %
Dorsett 53 %"
.......and now you're called on that and you start tap-dancing the goalposts to an entirely different field once someone pointed out that Moss was 59%???????? Evidently you cannot discern the difference between a TE/Slot and an outside WR and believe the catch % criteria is apple to apples.
Be honest. It is what it is. You made a wrong turn. We all do at some point. It's the human condition.
Where I came into the debate was you saying Agholor has a drops problem for us. That’s what I’ve been debating the whole time. Not sure why you’d still be debating the person before me when it’s been you and I discussing a separate point (and for that topic, I don’t think your points/evidence have been valid).
But I honestly hadn’t seen the previous guy’s statement that Mac would be in big trouble without Agholor. I disagree with that, too, so I was wrong when I said “no one” is claiming that. I’ll change that statement to say that I am not claiming that.

the Patriots activated linebacker Josh Uche off injured reserve and elevated defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale, wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson and defensive back D’Angelo Ross from the practice squad.
