put marvin harrison on the opposite side of deion branch and see where he ends up as far as #s go
hes played in a fairly conservative offense his entire career in foxboro
hes had corey dillon running the ball,3 tight ends who can all catch and make plays and hes had to compete with givens brown johnson and faulk for time

There's football outside of Foxboro you know.
Reggie Wayne may be the best route runner in Indiana, that includes his counterpart. He's also probably one of the better possession WR's in the NFL. The two both probably run about the same forty time.
You put Wayne in Foxboro, he puts up better numbers than Branch. Fairly conservative offensives don't throw the football 530 times in a year. (Almost 80 times more then the Colts)
He's had Edge, and Harrison to compete against. You listed quantity over quality. Brown's been on the decline since '02, Bethel Johnson was a huge bust who never was to be considered a WR, and Faulk? He's a RB, WR don't compete for playing time with RB's.

hes gonna get big money in seattle and hes going to fluorish there as a top 10 nfl reciever
in fact
if im not mistaken his agent said he'd show here and resign for next season if the pats didnt slap the franchise tag on him which wouldve guaranteed him top 5 money
the pats refused
he walked
and now??
we have scouts in montreal following the alouettes and the eskimo's looking for someone on the outside to compliment our inside tight end threats
lots of talent in the CFL...

Branch isn't even close to the class of these guys. Good move by the Patriots.
