    I wish him well. He's a great fit.

        Smart organizations just get smarter.You want to add some years to your franchise QB? Find some RB's or WR's that can get open in 4-5 steps. then get the ball out. Brady is now loaded with both,Newton( just got 2) M.Ryan got Gabe w/2 backs, Arron Rogers ok yea he just gets lucky 😛

                Dunno 'bout that... at least not when the Pats' WR corps is all healthy. But if an Edleman goes down...

                  If Hawk makes the team, I could see him absolutely blowing up. He could always get separation, and Tom is insanely accurate. Hawkins will also draw the other teams worst corner, and he will win that matchup more often than not. It's pretty much the perfect scenario for Hawk, and I wish him the best.

                      Belichek, Brady and their case full of Trophies must be fucking idiots, don't they know 1-800-Sashi-Law and Hue Jackson said this guy was a scrub? Their trophy case full of participation medals speaks for itself.

                        Tom Brady has been making stars out of scrubs for nearly two decades now. Just because he went there does not make him any less of a scrub.

                                Second... us releasing Hawk does not necessarily equate with viewing him as a "scrub".

                                Hue's West Coast approach includes a serious amount of deep routes... seams, out, slants and the like. That's not Hawk's game.

                                The Pats on the other hand are very much a ball control passing attack using shallow crosses, short zigs and quick slants for easy completions in hopes of springing a WR loose for YAC. At least the short zigs are Hawk's game... it's about all I ever saw him run in 2016. Slants and shallow crosses were in greater evidence in 2014 and again in 2015... until he was knocked senseless a couple times.

                                Hawk clearly is not as good a fit with Hue's offense as he will be with the Pats. He's a 31-yo, veteran overachiever who was shown respect by being shown the door as early as we did.

                                Again, I wish him luck.

                                    Thing is, Hawkins isn't guaranteed to make this team at all. How many little shifty WR's do the Patriots have? A shitload? LOL. If the Patriots have a player similar to Hawkins that is younger and cheaper, they will go with the younger guy 99% of the time. It's a gamble by Hawkins, but probably a good one. I think he fits in well with what that team is about, and I definitely know he can get open.

                                      Fair enough. I agree. Pats without Brady means they could be a playoff team, because BB does coach a mean defense....but they win no titles at all with any of the backups they have had over the years.

                                        First...I am a fan of sarcasm.

                                        Second... us releasing Hawk does not necessarily equate with viewing him as a "scrub".

                                        Hue's West Coast approach includes a serious amount of deep routes... seams, out, slants and the like. That's not Hawk's game.

                                        The Pats on the other hand are very much a ball control passing attack using shallow crosses, short zigs and quick slants for easy completions in hopes of springing a WR loose for YAC. At least the short zigs are Hawk's game... it's about all I ever saw him run in 2016. Slants and shallow crosses were in greater evidence in 2014 and again in 2015... until he was knocked senseless a couple times.

                                        Hawk clearly is not as good a fit with Hue's offense as he will be with the Pats. He's a 31-yo, veteran overachiever who was shown respect by being shown the door as early as we did.

                                        Again, I wish him luck.

                                        The only issue I may take with anything said here is that Hawkins is an overachiever. He is at best a middle of the road talent, and at best he gave middle of the road production. Productive a bit? Sure. Overachiever? No, I don't think so.

                                          Id argue that most of the team is middle of the road talent, or less......its about how players are used....

                                          Example....the one year Hawk was our primary target, he had 1000 yards......the one year Benji was the primary, he had a 1000 yards......the one year Pryor was the primary, he had a 1000 yards......

                                          all middle of the road talents, who had middle of the road(or less) numbers when used as second and third options....

                                          Add Barny to list.....

                                          Note: This season (maybe)they will make Coleman the primary....then, when he gets 1000, everyone can piss their pants and say that he's the greatest everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......what an improvement.....great pick,,,,,yada yada yada
