The Pats had among the most underwhelming receiving corps the first two Super Bowls they won. A bunch of WR 3's, and they used Mike Vrabel at TE near the goal line. And Brady still lit it up. Leave Tom Brady out of your argument, he does you no favors.
Sorry but last year the argument was sound.
Without Gronk the Patriots looked and played very pedestrian.
The offense goes through him.
Brady hardly "lit it up" his first three superbowls.
But his team was solid with great defense and a great running game.
Which even in this day and age is the sound approach to championships.
People always want to make it about the QB carrying the team.
If it was just about elite QBs then the superbowl would be won by the same 3 guys every year and its not.
I honestly cant hate on 2014 Dalton and the Bengals because the injuries were of train wreck magnitude and they still clawed their way into the playoffs.
But the same rhetoric will go back and forth until we get a different January outcome.
