This has always been my issue with the team. There is NOBODY on the offense that keeps a DC up at night except Wilson.brimsalabim":321uh91u said:How many receivers have we had that scare the defense though? The last few years it’s been Baldwin and Jimmy. Baldwin may make them a bit nervous but I don’t know that he strikes fear and no one is afraid of Jimmy the blocker.

Edelman has had 165 targets two years ago.
Gronk has had more than 100 targets for 4 seasons in a row.
Yes the pats have always had a number one WR. They do not spread the targets out that much.
Seahawks never had one? So what do you consider Steve Largent?Trrrroy":p219ggqt said:Payriots haven't had a #1 since Moss. Eagles don't have one. Seahawks never had one.

Now we're talking semantics. Edelman was a #1 in the sense that he got targets, but to me he was no more a #1 than Bobby Engram was a #1. He got targets due to scheme, matchups, and Brady throwing the ball a ton. He's not a guy you throw the ball to in 1 on 1 no matter what. He's not a guy like Julio Jones, AJ Green, DeAndre Hopkins, or Fitzgerald. But again, we're talking semantics. Different definitions for what a #1 truly is.

So listing a TE proves that you always need a number one WR?
I don't get how 300-odd rushing yards keeps DCs up at night. Or are you referring to his passing yards and passing touchdowns that require someone to catch them?A.D.I.D.A.S.":92h30wnq said:This has always been my issue with the team.
