He's a good, but not great receiver who will probably end up filling a role similar to the one Danny Amendola occupied while he was here. Patriots will be relying on a lot of quick passes since our offensive line sucks absolute dick this year, and he's another small, fast receiver who probably fits best in the slot and is good at finding the hole in a defense. It's a shame that our line is so bad, honestly. Having Edelman and Sanu running short-mid routes would be terrifying if we had enough time to let Gordon, Harry, and Dorsett take the top off of defenses. |
This is what's frustrating about the Patriots management right now: the didn't want to spend money on Trent Brown because Wynn was returning (even though they already knew Wynn was injury prone); they spend that money to aquire AB who they knew was problematic; they release AB after 11 days, not because of anything he did with the team (all his teammates and coaches loved him), but because they were being bombarded with media attention the owner didn't want; and now they trade a second round pick to aquire a really good but not life-changing receiver, when the glaring hole in their offense is left tackle. Meanwhile the life-changing reciever they still have to pay is sitting at home doing a college course on his laptop.
I don't care what you think about how AB handled the allegations. They never existed until he joined the Pats, and as soon as he was cut and the media conveniently decided those allegation weren't news-worthy anymore, the charges against him were all dropped. Whole thing was a clear job by the media to begin with and the Patriots organisation buckled.
