I never said that. I will educate you. The original statement advocated for the Pats copying what other teams are doing, bidding up for "big fast WR" and "QBs that can move". I did not say we shouldn't try. I asked what our edge is to be the 15th team to pile into that trend. Clearly it is not working for the vast majority of teams attempting to do it. Your post showed 5 WRs as a success story. I pointed out these were not success stories.
I do not have the answers here. I just know that copying what everyone else has been doing for years is not a path to an outlier success story. I'm not sure why pushing back on something that isn't working for teams is seen as saying we should give up. Maybe we should try to think creatively, in a differentiated manner.
Super Bowl favorites are SF. SF has Deebo and Aiyuk. And Kittle. Dallas wont he division. CD Lamb and Cooks. Plus the awesome TEs. Tampa won their division. Mike Evans. Godwin. Detroit won their division. Amon Ra St. Brown and Laporta.
Cleveland made the playoffs with the 4th string QB. Amani Cooper and Njoku. Buffalo won their division. Stefon Diggs. Plus the TEs. Ravens are the favorites in the AFC. Odell and Flowers. And even Likely, the backup, is doing an excellent job. Miami didn't make the playoffs for years, got Tyreke Hill and Waddle, and made the playoffs two years in a row. Green Bay, with a QB playing his first season, made the playoffs. Reed, Wicks, Watson, and the TEs.
Of course, the Chiefs made the decision to ignore WR and Mahomes had his worst season by far. Just a random coincidence I assume? 35% of the Rams roster is undrafted free agents and they made the playoffs. Puka and Kupp. The Eagles got AJ Brown and Smith and made the Super Bowl. And the playoffs again this year, despite the defense being a tire fire.
Instead of focusing on the teams who didn't make it (and your statement that DJ Moore was useless because they didn't make the playoffs is obviously nonsense) maybe take a look at the teams who did? What's the defining characteristic of the teams? They all have stud WRs and TEs and in most cases, both, who can put up chunk plays.
And they don't need to just be big and fast. Those WRs all play a much different style. But you do need guys who are good.
