Absolutely not. He was forced into that situation and is the better for it.
Interesting note I recently read in the Cinci press. Thomkins is the first rookie WR to have a 100+ yard game since Wes Moore in the late 90's. What makes this interesting to me, is that up to that moment I had never heard of Wes Moore. Anyone remember him?

Rookie WRs in the entire NFL??
Calvin Johnson had 102 yds vs the Chargers in week 15 of his 2007 rookie season....And CJ was the first marquis WR I checked out.
And Wes Moore......the google machine doesn't know who Wes Moore is.
Cinci press???? Who knew they had a newspaper in Cincy
I assume you mean the first undrafted rookie, right? Even Justin Blackmon had a 200+ yard game last year. And I have never heard of Wes Moore. Who'd he play for?
That makes more sense. Thank you.Maybe they meant UDFA for the Pats? Will Moore NFL Football Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com
I have said in other threads that the loss of all of Brady's targets from last year (most of the threads were Welker related) that the lack of binkies for Brady may ultimately be a good thing for this offense in a lot of ways. I think the progression of Thompkins is one of them. It is hard to think that Thompkins would be where he is right now if Welker, Amendola, Gronk, or Hernandez were on the field. Brady would have probably thrown to them much more. the lack of proven receivers on this offense has probably made Thompkins progress more in four weeks than he would have in an entire season with Welker or a healthy Gronk or Amendola.
I think by the time the Pats are at full strength (returns of Amendola, Gronk, and Vereen), this offense could be very dangerous. Thompkins (and Dobson) bring things to the table that this team hasn't had in a long time.
Nice job in your analysis. Stuff like this is pure gravy for those of us who don't get these add ons. Much better than some McCourty vs Bryant thread. Thank you.
