Brady Faces Toughest Passing Test of Career in 2013

Our Friday column is up and it’s all about Tom Brady and the impact of the revamped passing game on his legacy. Found some interesting stuff looking back at the number of top receivers other long-term elite quarterbacks had. This is really a chance for Brady to put the final nail in the greatest of all time debate.

Given that you think X receiver is the biggest need even with Sanders, where do you expect him to play? Or do you not have faith in him? Because I doubt he’d be competing against Donald Jones for the no. 3 spot.

He’d probably play the X spot, but I think that ultimately you need at least three WRs and I think Sanders would give them two. Who knows, maybe Jenkins and/or Jones click with Brady and suddenly they’re the next Jabar Gaffney circa 2007. But I don’t feel sure that either of them even make the team at this point, especially with Edelman back.

Outside of Amendola, I don’t feel sure on any of these guys. Would love to add one more explosive young guy that can be groomed for the long-term. One with good size would add a new dimension to the offense, but I still think this offense is one receiver away. Doesn’t mean it’s the biggest need, I’d probably lean cornerback as that right now.
