FireChan Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 He is better than average. Look at the 3 years before last and he is top 5. Bennett can also run after the catch and the Pats have had great success with 2 TEs. That's why they went after him. Malcontent or not there is nothing good about this for the Bills. I didn't want to have debate TBC on his talent, but I agree he's above average. Yeah, the Pats* offense got better with the trade. But reading reactions here, you'd think they just got a fast-pass to the Super Bowl. I don't think that's true. They made the Super Bowl the last time they had two talented TE's.
Doc Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I didn't want to have debate TBC on his talent, but I agree he's above average. They made the Super Bowl the last time they had two talented TE's. They made more SB's without any talented TE's.
FireChan Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) They made more SB's without any talented TE's. They made the SB with 2 talented TE's with the 31st worst defense in terms of YPG. Edited March 17, 2016 by FireChan
The Big Cat Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 They made the SB with 2 talented TE's with the 31st worst defense in terms of YPG. So?
Doc Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 They made the SB with 2 talented TE's with the 31st worst defense in terms of YPG. So that guarantees a SB now?
Dorkington Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Yeah, the Pats* offense got better with the trade. But reading reactions here, you'd think they just got a fast-pass to the Super Bowl. I don't think that's true. A team that is better than us just improved. That's what it really boils down to.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 @AroundTheNFL Martellus Bennett gives Tom Brady a pair of hulking red-zone targets, writes @DanHanzus http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000645101/article/martellus-bennett-traded-by-bears-to-patriots
FireChan Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 So? So they probably didn't make it to the SB because of their defense that year? Meanwhile Doc is referencing SB trips where they got there with a good defense/an okay offense and one of the best total teams of all time, which the Pats clearly don't have. So that guarantees a SB now? "guarantees" Time to put a quarter in your dishonesty jar, Doc.
Kirby Jackson Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Yeah, the Pats* offense got better with the trade. But reading reactions here, you'd think they just got a fast-pass to the Super Bowl. I don't think that's true. This is a big move for them. They basically recreated what they had before Hernandez's most recent murder. The tight ends push the safeties and Edleman works underneath. This is one of the bigger additions of the offseason IMO.

CardinalScotts Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) This is Cam Cleeland all over again. Bennett is a huge baby and locker room problem from the Cowboys to Giants to Bears to Patriots...getting quite the jersey collection at 28 years old. Wright was suppose to be great and oh watch out for Chandler etc.... Edited March 17, 2016 by CardinalScotts
26CornerBlitz Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 LOL! That's what they said about Chandler. Bennett>>>>>>>>>>>>>Chandler. They still need to fix their OL.
CommonCents Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 One thing not being talked about is the depth now behind Gronk who has been oft injured. Sure putting Bennett and Gronk in two TE sets sounds fun but this move takes away one of the Pats biggest weaknesses. If Gronk goes down they now have a more than adequate replacement.
Maury Ballstein Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Bennett is a weapon. Big cat will get it once he sees the pats crushing souls in the red zone.
BringBackFergy Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Among TE's in 2015, Bennet finished: 15th in REC 24th in Yards 19th in TD's Somebody will have to explain to me what all the pants shitting is about. Yes, he played in 11 games. So explain finishing 17th in ypg... This...only I prefer panties in a bunch as opposed to shitting pants (but also happy I can say shitting).
The Big Cat Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Bennett is a weapon. Big cat will get it once he sees the pats crushing souls in the red zone. Yeah that was definitely an area for improvement for them. Not news: The Pats* offense stayed good. On defense they lost a huge piece. I didn't see anyone jumping for joy about it. So why should we cower in fear when a good offense gets marginally better? At issue is the degree to which they got better. Count me as someone who's not all together alarmed by it.
The Big Cat Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Yes my opinion remains the same everywhere. Is it not true? Brady's record against us is ridiculous. You say that as if it's measurably worse against the other 30 teams.
