Troy Brown is a no name? That's alternative facts right there. Let's look at where some of these no names rank on the all time lists. Moss and Gronk are not included here are they are considered "names" by the media.This misconception TB12 has had nothing but no-name, average receivers at his disposal is ridiculous.
My friend once named his cat TC. Which stood for, The Cat.We once had a cat, and we couldn't pick a name, so we went with "Noname" (no-NAH-mee).
**** y'all, this is wicked relevant.

Wes Welker - 903 receptions - 21st all time
Troy Brown - 557 receptions - t92nd all time
Deion Branch - 518 receptions - 118th all time
Kevin Faulk - 431 receptions - 189th all time
Julian Edelman - 425 receptions - t196th all time
Both Ben Watson and Jabar Gaffney are in the top 200 all time, though a majority of their catches came with other teams. Amendola, Vareen, and Patten sit just outside the top 250.
Not a collection of world beaters necessarily, but its a consistent stream of productive players. Part of the brilliance of this team is realizing that an offense can go farther with 4 good role players catching passes than with 1 superstar surrounded by JAGs.

Brady was like Marino in that matter. He made his receivers household names, sorta like Mark Duper and Mark Clayton. Brady did that with Branch, Welker, Brown, etc. Even Gaffney had a few good years. Those guys didn't break out until they played with Brady. He was lucky to have Moss for a couple of years and now Gronk. But most of his career he had nobodies that he turned into somebodies. So I agree with Eisen.
Before the AFCCG, we knew who Hogan was, but the rest of the country was probably wondering who the hell he was. I'm sure the Steelers know who he is now
He's out of touch. So is that brainless twit Dan Le Be(re)tardI was listening to the show yesterday. Eisen did have positive things to say about Brady, but he also more or less was saying that 'Patriot fans who think I hate the Pats are wrong and here is why - I think Brady is great'. He then went on to say Patriot fans are wrong about their persecution complex especially regarding spygate. His logic was that for Roger to have destroyed the tapes then they must have been really, really bad, blah blah blah.
I turned it off at that point.
It was some sort of strange passive-aggressive dig at Pats fans. If anybody responded I'm sure Eisen was 'why are you upset, I'm saying Brady is great', and then grumbled about Pats fans never being happy and what's wrong with them, etc.
Maybe he was just trying to play both sides of the fence. 'Brady is great' for Patriot fans, and a spygate insinuation for everyone else.
Yeah I listened to it too but to be fair there IS a lot of persecution/victim complex about anything said about the patriots by a lot of fans who react and respond to it after deflating nonsense . So maybe well founded but some aren't e.g every flag thrown against us doesnt mean league is out to get us .I was listening to the show yesterday.

I don't disagree with idea that there is a lot of persecution/victim complex.Yeah I listened to it too but to be fair there IS a lot of persecution/victim complex about anything said about the patriots by a lot of fans who react and respond to it after deflating nonsense .

Oh man, I created a monster. I am honored though ! !FWIW: Because of your post, I told my daughter I'm calling her TD (The Daughter) from now on. Which turned into her calling the Dog "TD" (the dog). Which turned into my son feeling left out so we decided to call him TD (the Dude). Which turned into them calling me TD (the Dad). hahahaha
