The other guys are great fits in the system but have proven to not be anything above replacement level players in the league.
Are you serious?
Edelman is arguably his most important weapon on the team for Brady.
Must at least be servicable.
Aside from TE, the have to have the smallest WR corp of all time. They're going to be impossible to stop yet again and Tom is going to have another statiscally amazing season followed by a deep playoff run.
But the rich get richer. NE also acquired TE Dwayne Allen from Indy earlier this week. Another solid weapon.
Allen was anything but sold in Indy.
But was he solid?

IDK about the numbers, but it seemed like his hands were iffy.
He'd make me look HoF.
...Maybe. I don't think I could run a 7.0 40 yard dash.

In a similar vein, any receiver on the Packers when the Favre-Rodgers transition happened.
Patriots just one upped the Eagles in the offseason wow.
Dwayne Allen, Kony Ealy and Brandin Cooks?
WOW
Ealy is a one year rental.

Hopefully Gronk can actually play whole season.
March 11th, 2017 at 11:40 AM ^
Dwayne Allen?
and unlikely coming back
Here are five facts.
Cooks only has a 1.5 million cap hit in 2017 and has a 2018 option.
Amendola has 6 million guaranteed this year, and is going to be cut.
Edelman is in the final year of his deal.
Heading into next year the Patriots will be left with Mitchell, and Cooks and Hogan in the last years of their deals.
Patriots don't give out big contracts so in terms of wide receivers, expect another signing or WR next year. (note: i expect Mitchell to get extended in a few years, he can block and catch)
Back in the land of disgraced franchises, the Redskins have fired their GM (for apparent cause), can't seem to clean up their relationship with Kirk Cousins (I know, we hates him, but he's good), and they signed friggin' Terrell Pryor :(

but when people try to argue that Brady isn't the GOAT I just SMH.
Montana had Rice and Taylor and other studs to throw to, Bradshaw had Swann and Stallworth and other assorted studs surrounding him and both of them were in a non-salary cap era.
Can you imagine Brady with studs like that for years on end and no salary cap, it ain't even close.
the league would be on tilt if he had receivers like that all the time

Down voted becasue I can't tell what the fuck the OP is talking about. If you are going to speak jibberish then at least provide a link. If you think that everyone alreay knows what you are talking about then don't bother to start a thread.

Bad original posts are annoying. Worst is posting a link with no quick recap. Especially when a short sentence would suffice.
Outside of first half of SB, Patriots seemed off the charts dominant. Right now its looking like its Patriots vs injuries.
