"Why is everyone so afraid of Tom Brady?"

[Buchanty]

Interesting article that I haven't seen posted on the board (if it has, please merge/delete).

The arguments in TB's favor have long been articulated on this site but it is nice to see the composite stats albeit based on potential Fantasy Points.

I think people are scared because the only wide receiver on the roster who caught a Tom Brady pass last season was Edelman, and he may not even make the club if he can't get healthy.

If I'm correct this is the largest amount of wide receiver turnover in the Tom Brady era. I don't care who you are, it is going to take time to adjust to that kind of change. Even of Brady plays well, which he almost certainly will, you have to think there will be plenty of blunders among the new wide receiving corps.

I am currently projecting the following numbers from the Pats wide receivers in 2013. I think Edelman doesn't make the cut. What do you guys think?

• Danny Amendola - 950 yards, 7 TDs
• Aaron Dobson - 615 yards, 3 TDs
• Josh Boyce - 435 yards, 3 TDs
• Kenbrell Thompkins - 375 yards, 2 TD
• Kamar Aiken - 225 yards, 0 TD
