It could be worse than Ginn as no.1 WR

Gotta admit, NE put their receivers in spot to get injured. As a result, they get injured a lot. Those guys make tough catches for Brady and they pay for it often. On the other hand, Carolina's receivers don't often get injured because the ball travel fast and they get to catch it and brace themselves for contact. And those short 4 yards slants can get painful. Those receivers come outta NE brain dead, like Welker.

I think most of what you say is retarded but this is very true.

New England plays for YAC with dink and dunk. Carolina throws downfield like 90% of the time and Cam has a cannon.

Just a different offensive philosophy, and one that they have to play because of Brady's age and arm strength.

That wasn't the name of the game for them when they went 18-1.

Well it looks like the love affair with Brandon Lafell ended in a hurry.

At one point last year people were wanting him back.

He had a good year last season, but he had other talented WR's, and Gronk to mask his deficiencies.

When Lafell has to be the guy, he folds like a chair. Just like he openly talked about at the end of his time here after the Atlanta game with Steve Smith out with an injury.

I could not believe he publicly stated that.

I find it really hard to believe that we only have 6 drops on long passes.  I feel like Ginn has that number on his own if you just pick his two worst games.  But then again, I actually can't remember any drops on long passes by other receivers.  Most of Funchess' drops were at intermediate range.

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
