Over/under predictions for Branch

[TheGodInAGreyHoodie]

Make your predictions for the over/under on Branch's stats for his 12 games as NEP this year.

 

[PatsDeb]

I think, going back to the Patriot way, that he will have a decent amount of yards, and maybe not so many actual TDs, which will be okay, because they will be spread around to others.

 

[Dutchmaster617]

5-600 yds and 4-5 TDs

 

[PowerRunRevival]

700 yards receiving 5 touchdowns.

 

[Synovia]

total for the season, including 4 games in SEA:

14g, 2gs, 37 receptions, 350yds 3TD.


I just don't think hes going to be a factor at all.


(And I like how the poll options are "probowler, or less")

Actually they are Moss's stats thru 4 games multiplied by 3.

Thanks for making my point.

How could anybody possibly make a prediction before they see him play in a Patriots uniform again?

Some of us have seen a bunch of Seattle games. Tom Brady is a much better QB than Hasselbeck, that but isn't going to change the fact that Deion Branch just isn't very good anymore.

Yeah. Might not be a very accurate or well informed one. But you can certainly make one.

Entire industries stem around making predictions with less info. E.g. see Mel Kipers entire existence.

I think the TD poll options are a little inflated, especially with all the weapons we have to distribute to.

Its a different system too. How do you know how many reps Branch will get? There are a lot of 2 WR 2 TE sets in the Patriots system right now, does Branch get on the field in those ahead of Tate?

What happens if the runs he wrong route or drops a ball in his first game. Do you think Brady is going to keep going his way?

I've seen 3 Seattle games by the way and he has looked better this year than previous years it has to be said.

 

[stinkypete]

30 catches, 350 yards, 3 tds.

Branch won't be more than the 3rd or 4th option on the offense. I think he will be valuable, but not a featured player.

Coming from consistently one of the most negative posters on this board when it comes to ANY patriots FO moves, this opinion means, just about nothing.

 

[TBradyOwnsYou]

He breaks his leg his practice this week and is put on IR before he can teach our rookies how to properly hold out.

 

[Brettlax3434]

550 Yards and 3 TD's. Two more TD's in the playoffs and we will resign him at the end of the year. Well worth a 4th round pick when we stil have 7 other picks in the first four rounds. I hope he finishes his career a Patriot. He has always been one of my favorite players.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

8 TDs or less

I think the majority of TD passes will be to TEs this season

 

[pencilneckgeek]

I'd go with:

32 receptions
400 yards
4 touchdowns

 

[BritPat]

Right, a little maths.....

We have three quarters of the season left, and Branch's best in a year was 78 receptions/998 yards/5 TD's. Take away a couple of hundered yards due to lack of explosiveness, and a bit more with him needing to find his feet - I say 45 receptions, 450 yards (roughly 38 yards a game) and 3 TD's.

Poll lesson #1: if you allow people to select every check box, they will.
