I have said it's worked pretty well. Except when we run into a defense in the playoffs that can put pressure on Brady, and suffocate our little slot guys, but I digress.
I've got basically no issues with this management team. I just believe when folks look back on Brady's career and they see this outlier of a season where he and the team went through the NFL like a hot knife through butter, why not try the blueprint that worked so well that year at least one more time? It's pretty damn evident to everyone what the difference was that year to every other, and it's the outside weapon.
And let's not forget, there was no Rob Gronkowski in 2007. You put an outside threat on this team, with Gronk and the slot guys, and I don't know how you stop them. I'm willing to absord the cap pain for one season to see what happens with a guy like Dez, or even a Brandon Marshall, or whoever...I'm just fine winning games 55-34.
I'm actually glad Miller got taken. I think someone is going to break him in half in the NFL. Would love to see the Pats take a flier on the hometown kid, Tajae Sharpe from UMASS, personally.
