I think there is a tick of the idea there are only so many balls and targets to go around with a run-first style 21 formation offense like in the early Brady years, as opposed to the 2007-2012, throw it 45 times a game thing.
If our RBs are getting 20 carries a game, there are only so many pass attempts to be had.
For example, Brandon Lloyd caught 74 balls for like 740 yards and 4 TDs and people thought he didn't produce as Brady's 4th preferred option that year.
As long as Agholor runs good routes out of the entire tree, has a good catch/target yield, and is consistent, he can be a player just because no defense can really pinpoint a Mac binky. I just love the idea he has no favorite target. It's so refreshing.
I'd love to see more of the fade stuff to Bourne like we saw with Agholor or the long awaited "out and up" look like Patten would do in the red zone, but use Agholor for it. We don't do it, it's not on film, so when you need a TD, try it.
