Throught the season we've seen him injured on the sideline. When he's on the field he does "so-so." Will he live up to the expectations of bill belichick and the new england patriots?

I watched him play at florida and he never quite seemed like a team player which made him a funny pick for the team first mentality in new england....so no i dont think he will

He did struggle with a hamstring injury during preseason and early in the regular season, so he is somewhat behind where he should be. Throw in the fact he had to learn new plays and sight adjustmenets and it has to be overwhelming for a guy who got by on sheer talent at U of Florida. I think the Patriots brass saw his talent and potential in college and chose him early in the draft knowing they could mold him to fit in their system. Being a rookie in the complex Patriots offense is not easy. I think they should let him use his speed more and maybe draw some interference penalties on long passes.

No way. New England's receivers are not stars; their good but not as flashy and explosive as some of their peers. Think about, Terry Glenn was probably the longest tenured receiver for the team in recent history.

Well he has talent to use. The main thing is that Brady is in a slump at the moment and that is hurting Chad Jackson and really the other wideouts too. Once one succsedes, so will the other.

i dont have a good feeling about him. earlier in the season they were using that "injury" as an excuse because he was to dumb to learn the playbook.
one thing i have nocitced is that he has great athletic ability and brady looks to him when they are in the redszone.
next year is when he should get it together and it all starts to click.

Yes, give him time and he will be good.
