I get it, thanks. I guess the answer is to win a Super Bowl, but I get that many receivers are more interested in their stats and paycheck. Thanks.

I think lower and mid level receivers would actually really like Brady's style.  Mack Hollins got his best contract after a year with Josh.  The WR1 types will not like it cause they wont get target share, but lower caliber WR will get MORE targets in this theory (cause everybody eats).  Considering we are very unlikely to have the money to get a WR1 type through FA (most likely route is through the draft), I dont think this matters if its true (it does seem intuitive).

First I head anything like this. Is Brady's offense somehow unappealing to some receivers? If so, how? 

Dang finn I don't recall why.

Need to be more conscientious of my posts moving forward

This seems to capture what i could not.

 and a great example with Mack

Aye, he runs like a colt on a fresh pitch of turf grass coated in morning dew...

I usually use pro football reference.  If you select an individual player you can look at individual splits like indoor/outdoor, home and road, etc.  

 

I liked Dejean too.  Just seemed to pop in the plays that i watched and didn't seem limited to inside or outside corner.  

We needed to trade up and get Brian Thomas Jr.  he was the last best receiver available

Catching passes from Allen is the answer.  Mack Hollins is pretty happy after a year of catching passes from Josh.  So I would say your point (if true) applies more to higher echelon WR than mid to lower level WR who probably feel they have a better chance to get targets with Brady.  Considering our best route for getting WR1 type talent is through the draft (cause we really dont have cap to get a WR1 through FA), I dont think this matters.  

Spot on.  It will be tough to get a high end WR to come here in FA.
