I remember when the Patriots loss to the Colts in the AFCCG before the Colts won the SB? Patriots WRs were dropping everything and were awful. Since then, NE has made sure that Brady had at the very least people who could catch the ball. They even seem to have prioritized pass catching and route running WRs and TE's over any sort of speed. Tom Brady isn't making players better around him, the team actually finds people that fit their offensive scheme and those WRs, TEs and RBs thrive because of it.
