Title: Who'll emerge in NE as the top receiver?

Will either Deion Branch or Troy Brown emerge this year for the Pats? Or will they just continue the torrid 45/ypg avg they have going?

Or will BoSox win the series and everyone in Boston will be too drunk to care for the rest of the season? [smiley=ohshit.gif]

I think Troy Brown will still be their best receiver, but you're looking at 7 catches for 50 yards with no TDs more often than not.

As a Pats fan, I know how badly we need a #1 WR. The rookie Bethel Johnson looks nice, but he's not built to handle a full time role. I can only hope we use our multiple picks to insure a TOP flight (6-4 220) WR like Roy Williams from Texas.

j/k, but he is the #2 guy there now. IN ARIZ way back when, he was their #1 WR ---99 catches one year

It's WRBC in New England. I am afraid no one on their current roster is a number 1. Next year, if they can draft a Roy Williams or Rashan Woods from OK St., maybe...

Troy Brown is as close as they have, but like Philly said, his YPC is dismal.

The situation has been VERY well captured by Philly, bakes and BW. There is really little to add to their combined insight.
