    Maybe with the YPC but there's no denying the other stats. Only caught 29 of 50 targets (58% catch rate) and dropped 4% of those. By comparison, Pitta caught 86 of 121 for a 71.1% catch rate with only 2 drops (1.7%).

    Most people point to the Antonio Brown stretch for TD play that kept us out of the play-offs, but the Aiken drop, ball hit him in the numbers, that would have won the game against the Raiders is a big one too. After that play, he was pushed to the bench and special teams. Winners make the clutch plays to win games. Aiken is an average WR in the league and won't crack Indy's starting WR corps either.

    We still need a WR coach not named Engram.....Get us a WR coach with a resume like Pit & NE have. There is a reason that Antonio Brown & Julian Edelman went from sucking their first few years to being the best in the league.

    Antonio Brown never sucked he just didn't start right away.

    dont need "elite" receivers to win, you people really need to let go of that silly word. That word doesnt even have a real definition, its mostly just a vague and arbitrary description you use for people you've decided to favor for any number of random criteria. it doesnt mean anything.

    Brady typically has a much larger collection of "decent mediocre" receivers  than any other QB in the leauge. Most teams have 1 star (if they're lucky), 1 or maybe 2 decent guys, and then a bunch of dudes they hope they never have to put on the field. 
    Brady does not ever have that problem. 

    Elite is defined as:

    " A select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society. "

     

    Sounds to me like theres a real definition for it that is accurately applied to football.

    Pretty sure you need elite players or at least performances to win.

     

    In 2012 we got elite play out of Flacco and Boldin, who could have caught a ninja star from 90 yards with how well he was playing.

    it makes perfect sense, you illustrated the point in your very next sentence, lmao.

    Tom Brady has 5 rings because of awful rules and great playmakers that cover up the fact that he can't deliver the ball down field. His receivers are not and never have been mediocre at all.

    (not every good receiver goes to the pro bowl, and not making it to the hall of fame doesnt mean you're totally talentless. i know those dumb arguments are coming next)

    Brady is not a 1 man wrecking crew. If Brady hadn't caught on with the Patriots, he'd more than likely be a journey man who got the chance to start late in his career, played decent for a few seasons, and retired...maybe with a ring or two if he happened to get on with the right team.
    He's better than a 6th round pick, but nothing incredibly special.

    Congratulations. Nobody on this site will ever take you seriously in a football conversation, ever. 0 credibility my friend.

    Tyrod Taylor is a middling starter. 
    Tom Brady is overrated. 
    Greg Hardy isnt in the league anymore because he has trouble keeping his hands to himself. 
    Pierre Garcon is a career sidekick receiver. 

    There's not that much value in the 6th. thats why its the 6th. 

    Tom Brady has 5 rings, dude.
