Yeah But I'm pretty sure Brady won some rings without ol #81. Super Bowls over stats ANY day of the week my friend.

Rating: 92.6 and 92.3

Brady Last Year:
Completion %: 68.9
Yards: 4806
TD: 50
Rating: 117.2

Moss Career Highs:
Catches: 111 and 106
Yards: 1632 and 1437
YPC: 19.0 and 18.7
TDs: 17 and 17

Moss Last Year:
Catches: 98
Yards: 1493
YPC: 15.2
TDs: 23

The only thing Moss had improve is TDs. It was certainly one of his better seasons, but overall, it is a normal Moss season. If placed in say, 2002, it wouldn't really stick out statistically. Brady has absolutely monstrous improvements in every single category. He didn't beat his average seasons, it obliterates them.

As for Troy Brown, he didn't have a huge improvement with Brady.
2000: 83 catches for 944 yards and 4 TDs
2001: 101 catches for 1199 yards and 5 TDs

His second best season was the year before Brady became QB. He was used more once Brady became the QB, but didn't do anything that really exceeds what he did with Bledsoe. Manning has had far more impact on RBs, TEs, and WRs than has Brady.
You're too hung up on stats, I don't recall, how did the Raider QB's do with Moss there? Oh yeah that's right they were crap. Moss ain't crap without a good QB, Brady on the other hand is a Super Bowl MVP without Mr. Moss, but either way I have a feeling Moss will get a ring this year.

Brady was arguably the best QB in the NFL, but now is on another level than before he had Moss.

Moss never has been affected by quarterbacks the way quarterbacks have been affected by Moss.
LOL Al Davis wants you to repeat that, lol.

Marques Colston by himself.


Realistically, Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Read between the lines a little, clearly I was referring much more to Welker than Moss.

CIRCLE THE WAGONS BABY!

I also think Robert Royal is going to get a lot of red zone catches that become TDs. He might be a fantasy sleeper pick as i've heard the Bills want to use the TE more this year.

Honestly, I can't remember a team in the history of football on any level that hasn't set out with the intention of using the TE more.

Every year, it is almost guaranteed that every coach will say that they want to use the TE more, cut down/force more turnovers, and will be more explosive in the return game. I think it's in the contracts.
