That recipe is how a GOAT ends up finishing his careers on a west coast team close to his hometown.
If he is not a backup why was he the 3rd WR?
He started 6 of 12 games.
As I have noted multiple times he started the season as the #1 Y-WR, when he returned from injury he was given his starting job back until week 12 when his performance dropped him into a reserve role. He started week 15 when Dobson and Thompkins were both out.
- Week 1
- Week 6
- Week 8
- Week 9
- Week 11
- Week 15
Starts, in and of themselves, are almost irrelevant for WRs, TEs, and RBs. After all, Matt Slater started the Colts playoff game. Snap counts are far more important.
The problem with Amendola is that we can't count on him to play a full season.
I think we'd be better with Dobson and another good outside WR with Edelman and Gronk exploiting the inside of the field. We need an offense that can attack all areas of the field and keep defenses honest. We also need an upgrade on our 2nd TE.
