You never want your Super Bowl hopes to rest on two rookies and two veteran disappointments, but barring any late signings or trades, that could very well be the situation facing the Patriots heading into the 2006 season.
To put it another way, the Pats are a team with a host of players who “had better . . .”
A few examples of what we mean:
Chad Jackson had better be as good as he’s looked in non-contact workouts.
The Patriots receiving corps is dangerously thin, especially with Deion Branch still out in a contract dispute. Even if Branch returns prior to the start of the regular season,the need for a legitimate threat opposite him is huge. Without it, defenses will be free to roll coverages to Branch’s side and effectively take him out of the game plan, which happened in the past when David Givens was out of the lineup.

Well this is definately a double edged sword for me. on one hand, i love to see the pats struggle and have offseason troubles with WR's. on the other hand, Brady is my fantasy QB.. geeze

Even with the trouble at WR, they have two very RBs. Dillion is still very good and now they have Maroney so the offense should be ok.
