BananaB Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Problem with the Bills everyone is as is the big rotation and our best players not getting a full snap count. Also on tape the rotation and player personnel is gonna tip teams off while studying film. Kincaid and Shakir gotta be on the field more. Only two really proven players we have as pass catchers. The others you never know what your gonna get 3 1 Quote

They also had Gronk and Hernandez. Brady’s top 2 pass catchers are first ballot HOFers. He also had Faulk, Lewis and White as pass catching backs. Deion Branch???? C’mon, man. Quote

The year before that he was the Super Bowl MVP. He was then traded for a 1st & signed a big deal in Seattle. Let’s not pretend he was some scrub. 🤣🤣 1 Quote
SoTier Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago 7 hours ago, Just in Atlanta said: I wonder how many true separation receivers Tom Brady and Bill Belichick had during their 18 year run. Other than Randy Moss my memory is going to say they had mostly average receivers. I could be wrong though. I think that your take is pretty accurate. They had Gronk as a big downfield threat for a while after Moss, but he missed a lot of time in several seasons because of injuries. For a significant number of seasons they had Welker and then Edelmann who were sure-handed, clutch WRs playing in the slot more than being downfield threats. Later in the Belichick/Brady era, the Pats also had ex-Bill Chris Hogan at WR. Most of their boundary WRs were decent but they weren't among the best WRs of their time. 3 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: He was a good receiver. His last year in New England he had 998 yards.

He was traded to Seattle after his big 998 yard season, and then was traded back to NE a couple of years later. In 2010, Branch caught passes for 930 yards between the Seahawks and Patriots. Other than his 2 big seasons, Branch's yards per season were modest, mostly between 400 and 800 yards. He was a decent WR, but hardly a really good one. Quote

That was Randy Moss (but Moss was better of course). Branch had injury issues. His full season average was 63/807/5. That’s a good 11 year career. His name, and other Patriot receivers names, came up as a response to, “how many elite separation receivers did Brady and Belichick have?” Lol, the entire Patriots WR room was built with quick guys that ran precise routes. They had good NFL careers BECAUSE of their ability to get open. That’s the skill that the Pats valued most in the pass catchers outside of their superstars (Moss and Gronk). Hope this helps clear the confusion… Edited 2 hours ago by Kirby Jackson 1 Quote
