Not surprising that this was all planned by Bill.

I mean, I'm sure Kelce poached some of his RZ targets, but Meyers scored twice as many TDs as Juju last year in a way worse offense and with less games played.Everyone is missing the biggest stat where Juju is better. TDs!! for God's sake.
29 in 6 years vs 8 in 4 for Jakobi.
They're very similar players but Juju gets open in the EZ.
What was our biggest issue on O last year? RZ production. He'll help that an awful lot.

He was on an offense that had a funny habit of scoring from 40 yards out.I mean, I'm sure Kelce poached some of his RZ targets, but Meyers scored twice as many TDs as Juju last year in a way worse offense and with less games played.
Meyers was our leading WR. Juju was KC's #3 receiver.
The biggest reason the Pats chose Juju is a dynamic Smith-Schuster will bring to the position that Meyers didn’t. Last year – and really the last few years since Julian Edelman left – the Patriots’ offense has been hamstrung at times by a lack of ability to create after the catch, especially from the slot receiver position. Smith-Schuster should help fix that.
Since entering the NFL in 2017, Smith-Schuster ranks second among all NFL receivers with at least 400 catches in YAC (yards after catch) average at 5.6 yards per reception, per Pro Football Reference. That trails only Cooper Kupp. Last season, Smith-Schuster averaged a career-high 6.0 YAC per reception, which ranked fifth in the NFL among receivers with at least 50 catches.
By comparison, Meyers averaged 3.5 YAC per reception last year, which ranked tied for 32nd in the NFL. For his career, he’s averaged 3.4 YAC per reception.
The Pats targeted Juju and outbid KC to get him

Tumbleweeds scored more...And Meyers was on an offense that had a funny habit of not scoring at all
Apparently there’s a hangup with Belichick and juju. They’re $50 apart.33 million. How much guaranteed?
I think you guys are overthinking this. Basically, Bill felt it was better to replace Meyers with juju probably because there was issues with Myers. At least his tweet would indicate that. So it really doesn’t move the needle at all except that we basically did a swap. Maybe we get some more TDs out of juju but I guess it depends where his head is at. As others have said, we still need WR1. So hopefully that is coming real soon.
