Edelman played a perfect game last night, one of the few times he has, but he's a massive product of the system and I hate that someone like him gets constant press, while AJ, who is infinitely better in every single aspect of the game of football (even mentally), save for maybe throwing the ball, doesn't get talked up.
He's even a terrible punt returner, still being trotted out there in the hopes of regaining the magic he had 8 years ago, while he consistently looks awful.
But I will give him this, especially on the team he's on; he comes up HUGE in any and every big game the team plays and his fumbles/bad hands drastically disappear, in the playoffs.
I disagree, his route running is superb. Also the connection with Brady didn't happen by accident the guy lives in California in the off season for the soul purpose of spending all summer running routes with Brady. A lot of guys go to NE and don't pan out, that's often because they aren't where they are supposed to be based on the sight adjustment. The scheme calls the adjustments but the players have to study and understand how each other will see each sight adjustment.
I will say he isn't one of the top guys but I think his contribution to this team, especially in this run is undeniable. I stand by what I said earlier with a SB MVP and two 100 yard SB games if he can get 8k yards he has a solid shot at Canton.
