Thanks, how do you figure this team stacks up against the rest of the teams?

Probably weaker than you’d like to be at receiver, but that usually seems to be the case at receiver for the Patriots. There’d be no trouble moving the ball IRL, but on paper, I imagine that’s where they fall behind compared to some other teams. That, and possibly pass rush. The defense as a whole actually is missing a GOAT defensive player that some of the other franchises have.

Dave Casper  might be one .

Yeo, that was a close one. I watched Christensen more so maybe a bit if favouritism there. Also arguments could be made for Vilapiano, Asomugha, Sistrunk, Townsend, Alzado and more, I guess Mike Haynes makes the Pats team aswell, great player! 😀

HC: Sean McVay - Vermeil won a Super Bowl but also only had one winning season with the Rams. Chuck Knox has the best winning percentage, but never got the Rams to the Super Bowl.

When you look over that roster, particularly the defence its surprising the Rams havent had more success.

It's pretty on. I'd go Edelman over Welker due to his clutch plays in the postseason but Brady has made a lot of receivers so 

Also not many franchises would have a player like Ben Coates not be their best tight end in history 

or Russ Francis

Donovan McNabb is a dbag and overrated.
Steve Van Buren played in an era that was generally unathletic. He'd get roasted in future time periods.
Owens is top 3 all time, and gets a bad wrap because McNabb used him as a scape goat. 
Honestly don't know anything about Bob Brown frankly. I did consider Jon Runyan though.
Chuck Bednarik for as talented as he was, also played in an unathletic point in time.

Maybe its just me but a couple players on the Patriots have been over looked in the early years because the franchise was so bad. The owners at the time Sullivan's were horrible and ruined teams before they could reach full potential. The players missed out recognition and success. Here example at WR and LB Stanley Morgan and Andre Tippett.

Look at Morgans  numbers for his career. This was in a era that ran the ball and DBs could beat WR all over the field.  Check his piers numbers, see how they stack up. 

Career NFL statistics

Receptions:557 ( 3.2 per game )

Receiving yards:10,716

Yards per reception:19.2

Touchdowns:72 ( played about 176 games )

IMO Andre Tippett was right up their with LT.  One played for the Giants and one played for the Patriots. Now I'm not saying he was better because he was not, but he's right up there. Mike Haynes is right up their with the GOATS at CB. and Ty Laws could be considered top 10 All time at CB.

I'm seeing the word "unathletic" alot of in a very short description here which makes me believe that you are pretty young. So I'll take this with a grain of salt.
