Remember before you answer realize that the patriots spread the ball around ALOT...welker caldwell and gaffney will still get catches.. if steve smith were with the pats he would probally still only have 60 or so catches... how much you think stallworth will have??

Well first off, I don't think it matters how the ball is spread around alone, it depends also on the WRs ability to catch the ball a lot, something I know Steve Smith does (Being a Carolina fan). Stallworth is the same way (I've seen him play against us a few times). When he gets a chance, he generally catches the ball. He can be a sort of lifeline for Brady and an obvious deep threat. Still, because Brady doesn't have a primary target on every play, Stallworth will still only get 60-70 catches for 900-1100 yards and possibly 7-10 TDs, mostly because of how good he is on slants and with the deep ball combined with Brady's ability to get the open man the ball.

I think this depends entirely how he "fits" into the Pats system. The past couple of years several good wide outs have been signed and seen little or no time because they can't get the playbook down. The Pats have a pretty confusing passing game that is built on Brady and his receivers being on the same page more than black and white routes. If Stallworth does do well I could see him with 60 catches give or take and 900 to 1100 yards receiving. The Pats are reloading bigtime and I can't wait for September.

Assuming he stays healthy and not suspended I think Claury R has the numbers and reasoning about right. Don't forget that in addition to Reche, Jabar, Wes and company as receivers Brady is also going to be spreading the ball to our running backs Maroney, Faulk, Morris as well as the our tight ends with Watson, Dave Thomas and K. Brady. This offense won't be about one receiver getting 70+ catches for well over 1,000 yards. Brady has weapons a plenty and that is why the offense will be successfull. Stallworth can potentially open up the game but if he lives up to his potential he'll big good for some big plays and once established he'll be Brady's decoy more than anything. He'll look downfield to Stallworth just long enough to take a safety away from Welker or Watson etc.

I'm surely think that Stallworth will have like about pretty much 70 catches. Tom Brady throws the ball alot and Stallworth maybe will catch the most pass attempt from Brady.

stallwroth has 38 catches and 725 yards, with the eagles,
being a number one reciever in NE, he should have 59 rec, 993 yards, 7 TDs
wes welker, jabar gaffney, and reche caldwell will prob have around 40-50, brady will spread the ball, but at least he has a go to guy

If he can stay healthy he might make the pro bowl. The problem is the past 3 seasons he has had injuries. If healthy I would guess 75-90 catches, if injured maybe 50 The pats have been very active this year I would worry more about the chemistry of the team than the number of catches if you want them to win.

around 50, 800 yards with 5+ TD
Like you say Welker is a short yardage guy who can get your first down. Gaffeny is short yardage as well. Caldwell is tof 30 yards and less yardage and can hit the middle. Since Brady passes to many guys and his leading WR will have 50 catch the most with around 900. In his career Brady had one WR with 1000 receiving yards was troy brown in 2001 with 1191 with 101 reception. last one who came close was deion branch with 998 yards with 78 reception in 2005. none of the WR with the Patriots currently now is go-to-guy like deion branch or troy brown's prime.

If the hamstrings dont act up and he plays 16 games then bank on 65-75 catches, 1200 yards and 7-8 TD's.

61 receptions
1165 yards
8 TD
Keep in mind that Stallworth is a deep threat guy, who averaged 19.1 yards per catch last season. He may not set records in receptions but his yards per reception will be very high.
