Bringing Light and Justice to the World
There you go, using stats to wreck a perfectly good seat-of-the-pants opinion.
Maybe I'm soft on Bourne because he can at least break a few tackles or I still see the guy from 2021.
I'm mildly surprised to see Parker with as many as 31 catches, but it's a sobering sight to see two of our "top guys" at about one third the production
of league top guys. God, that was a brutal year to watch our Offense attempt to pass the ball.
I certainly hope we'll take a WR and I'd like to see a fair investment. I'm not entirely sold on Q. Johnson, but I wouldn't hate seeing him
come to Foxboro and we can start to polish him up. One quote stuck with me about him "has special natural separation ability" but
there is no telling what our guys will think about any of the other potential day 1 or 2 WRs.
I've paid attention to Bourne since a 9er friend told me when the Pat's signed him that he's a touchdown machine.
On the number of catches from the wrs. Last year offensively was just offensive to watch and its been beat to death why it was.
That said, with a couple of rare years here how many wideouts or any other player on this team had career numbers?
It was always about good frontline starters, quality middle class number 2s and lotsa quality depth. Yes, Brady was the quarterback but it's not like he provided many with career or league leading or career numbers.
Just by chance I caught a Podcast yesterday about Juju on a fantasy football channel. Fantasy football gurus have historically hated the Pats and absolutely still do. No mention of the teams success just pissed off cuz Juju is not gonna get them points and wins here.
Real live football is not Fantasy nor Madden.
Belichick has confounded prognosticators for over 20 years and 6 Superbowl Championships by not going the huge player massive stats route.
I've heard it talked about ad nauseum that Pats players never have Hall of Fame numbers.
Seems to me the Hall and many people are missing the boat.
I would, of course love DHop or Odell. Is a number 1 receiver really a huge priority?
