I haven't lived in New England in 10 years either though.I haven't lived in NE for over 6 years now, so I'm going off of how he's perceived by football fans overall, football pundits nationwide, etc. A lot of people act like he's an average receiver at best propped up by Brady. By the way, if he leaves the Pats in a few years and doesn't do all that well, maybe it's because he would be past his prime and not because he always sucked.
He was in Entourage, has a national Puma sponsorship, and probably the guy on the pats the cameras cut to the most besides Brady.
He is a great role receiver who has flaws enough to make him somewhere in the top 50 receivers, and valuable enough in the pats system to gain extra praise. The NFL is loaded with talented guys who can catch footballs and run well.
