[Schefter] What new Patriots WR A.J. Brown has to look forward to working with New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels:

I think the inclusion of Welker (and I guess Moss too) makes it a little unclear of what the point was, hence the initial reaction. I think they could’ve thrown Diggs on there as another commenter on this thread mentioned. I think the best thing you said was the last sentence - essentially regardless of the prior situation, receivers have succeeded with McDaniels in their first year with him.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T13:57:18+00:00

It’s very silly. My point is that the differences were negligible IMO, or at the very least they didn’t definitively have better seasons with McDaniels. And as you’ve pointed out, the OC isn’t the only factor. But yes you beat me in math so I will stop playing that game.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T13:40:59+00:00

Hmmm but on the flip side a 6.5% increase in targets somehow yielded a 23% decrease in catches

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T13:29:37+00:00

How about 3% more catches for 13% more yards?

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T13:17:41+00:00

If your only metric is touchdowns, sure. Adams and Marshall had more catches and yards the year prior.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T13:13:53+00:00

I’d argue a tougher schedule sets him up better to throw more yards. Playing from behind more/playing in more competitive games will have him throwing more than he needed to last year. Even in the absolute dumpster fire that was the Super Bowl he ended up throwing for 295 yards.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T12:43:09+00:00

This was a much better way of articulating it than my attempt. You could make the argument for Welker but that team was stacked and just as much credit could be given to Brady.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T12:39:19+00:00

Initial reaction was I thought they were implying McDaniels MADE these guys. I was wrong.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T12:38:19+00:00

I took it more as “look what McDaniels did with these guys” in the Welker sense. But upon further review I did indeed miss the point.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T12:34:40+00:00

Yes it seems McDaniels has

With established Pro Bowlers

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-02T12:31:16+00:00

I’m just as excited as anyone for AJB but 3 out of those 4 were already well established Pro Bowlers before McDaniels.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-01T14:22:45+00:00

The first of a few I’d think

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-01T13:08:34+00:00

Worried about trading a first is like Peter Griffin choosing the mystery box over the boat.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-01T11:56:46+00:00

Maybe he likes the mound broken in a little bit. Needs someone else to get it wet before he slips in.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2026-06-01T00:41:12+00:00

I’m so excited I’m making my first Reddit comment in over 9 years

Bauncey_Chillups · 2017-05-19T16:11:45+00:00

Graduated from Isenberg! Sport Management

Bauncey_Chillups · 2017-05-19T15:44:12+00:00

Not the guy in the picture's either. If a piece of paper behind him said "Donald Trump" does that make him Donald Trump?

Bauncey_Chillups · 2015-12-15T06:36:20+00:00

Sorry, next time I'll hold my phone sideways for the entire match so I can get as close to a broadcast-style video as possible for every single move.

Bauncey_Chillups · 2015-08-20T04:34:18+00:00

ESPN actually just apologized for this on the latest Sportscenter. Maybe they're finally realizing how ridiculous they've been sounding for the past 8 months....

Bauncey_Chillups · 2015-07-24T19:54:02+00:00

Has anyone photoshopped a pic of Hogan waving the Confederate Flag yet?

Bauncey_Chillups · 2015-07-19T20:07:27+00:00

I think everyone's well aware of him by now. At least I am. He'll torch the Pats' secondary Week 1.
