  1. I agree with what you are saying but think your other examples are off base. The Saints pretty much did the same thing for a decade. Guys like Pierre Thomas, Lance Moore, Devery Henderson, Aaron Stecker, Robert Meachum, Joe Morgan, etc... Half of these guys most people haven't heard of but Brees was throwing for 5K yards a year with these guys. Their system has been very similar to the Pats.

    Agreed it's a pass first, pass happy offense but much more vertical & quick strike. Patriots relies on a lot of rub routes & two tight end sets. Saints personnel work in their system and Patriots too. Outside of Gronkowki very little of Patriots white boy receivers would work in Saints vertical pass offense which requires size and explosion off the line.

     

    Conversely a receiver whose over 6'2 is almost too tall for the Patriots crossing patterns which expose receivers to a ton of hits. You need a shifty receivers in their offense.

  2. It's really the Patriots offensive system. The play design is awesome. Yes a QB needs to know the system and have talent, and yes you need the right personnel but much like the Steelers defense it is more about the system and being able to plug in the right personnel than it is about individual greatness. Case in point look at Welker, Amendola, Edelman and now Hogan. These aren't world beaters and wouldn't work in systems run by teams like the Saints, and Giants offense.

  3. Jimmy G report is no broken bones. Usually that injury is a clavicle break like what happened to Romo & Aaron Rodgers. It's probably a bad bruise, or possibly tissue damage like a torn labrum. Jimmy G ain't out of the woods yet.

  4. Probably 0-5 or 0-6 would be the time to bench Tyrod. He wasn't all that bad against the Jets. His short passing game and mid range game has struggled but that could be more of an issue with the play calling and the rhythm of the offense. I'd personally like to see them give Tyrod the whole season to sink or swim. EJ is the backup and will likely walk in free agency to try to go to a team where he can compete for the starting gig.

     

    I did like the one pass EJ threw on Thursday night. He looked good throwing outside the numbers on that one pass.
