Other than Gronk they have no one on offense who scares you.

Other then Ravi, I don't think anyone likes the WRs or RBs of the Patriots.

I like Blount.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I like Blount.

He's not even a 1000 yard back. Plus he is about as unreliable as they come.

I kind of like Blount too, but I don't think he is some sort of a stud starter or anything.

Edleman is.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Edleman is.

No offense but Edleman wouldn't do shit on any NFL team other then the Patriots. The dude averages like 10 yards per catch which is pathetic for an NFL WR. No one legitimately fears that guy. I don't think he cracks the top 3 WRs in Dallas.

Who cares who he plays for? He is a legit weapon. And 10 yards a catch is pathetic all of a sudden? Really?

 

[Cotton]

Of course the dude I'm playing in the league I have Brady in has Gronk.

Which I traded to him.

 

[1bigfan13]

That was probably the best play of DHB's career.

 

[Cotton]

That was probably the best play of DHB's career.

And it was facilitated by an absolute perfect pass from Big Ben.

For a WR? Absolutely. You do realize that legit stud WR's like Dez average like 16 ypc. Hell even Beasley at least averages 11. If you want to know why Edelman has his one 1000 yard season? It's 150 passing targets.

Antonio Brown (considered by many to be top 5 in the league) only hits at 13 per catch. Damn close to pathetic.

13 YPC is a far cry from 10. Can you name another 1000 yard receiver who averaged 10 yards per catch or less?

 

[Cotton]

Claim hyperbole on the word pathetic and we can move on.

Not sure if serious. 10 yards per catch is pretty bad. Cole Beasley is the epitome of that short yardage WR and he averages 11.4. That's basically TE territory.

A decent possession receiver should be 12-14, I'd think. Big play WRs are creeping above that, 14-16.

10 is sub-TE range.

Pathetic.

My point is it's not pathetic, which was the original statement.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Why? It is a pathetic number for a WR. I'm just wondering if you are that out of it?

And, 10 is sub elite TE range. Not standard TE range. So, let's not get silly.

Pathetic is not the word you want.
