Amendola did great yesterday and has overachieved in his career, but he is still vastly overrated. With the Patriots, they can pull people from the parking lot and they will do well in that system. Give Amendola credit for taking advantage and being smart enough to go to a good fit for him,
but at best he is a solid NFL receiver on a good team. I love overachievers. It makes me think about my athletic career, but in a similar situation as Wes Welker, he has never put up anywhere near the 1000 yard 100 catch seasons.
If I had 64 picks at WR, he would not be one of them as my starting 2. Many want to compare him to Wes Welker. Well lets do just that!
