Brady's Pass Catchers

Tom Brady threw for 4000 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2019. And from watching Tom Brady play, yes I do believe he slipped a little bit at age 42. However, not in the way many are saying. Tom Brady is not falling off a cliff.

If you look at the tier pass catching talent Tom has had, it's no wonder why the offense looks so bleak.

Tier 1:

Antonio Brown (Played like a 2)

Tier 2: Josh Gordon (played like a 3), Julian Edelman, Muhammad Sonu ( Played like a 4), N'Keal Harry (Played like a rookie), D. Thomas

Tier 3: Phillip Dorsett, James White

Tier 4: Jakobi Meyers, Rex Burkhead

Tier 5:  Sony Michel, Damien Harris, Brandon Bolden, Elandon Roberts, Jacob Johnson, James Devlin, Matt Lacosse, Ben Watson, Ryan Izzo, Gunner O., Matthew Slater and anyone I forgot. 

Add to this The offensive line injury, lack of running game, and the predictable and conservative play call of Josh McDaniels. Brady had to Check out way to much.  

There's a saying, "The best offense is a good defense". The Patriots Defense had to put way too many points on the board in 2019. The good news is the Patriots have money to play with in 2019, and better draft stock due to an early playoff exit. The Worry is reports are saying Brady is no longer willing to take a pay cut. 

I do think the league has caught up to Josh McDaniels, I also think he has peaked in his career. So what do the Patriots do, Let an OC go or stick with someone the everyone knows what's coming?
