Depth at WR? They had an un-drafted college walk on at WR, and Pierre Garcon who was a complete unknown in NFL Circles 13 months ago.
He struggled his way to a 33 TD 17 INT Division title season, on a team that only with Tom Brady as the QB, could you even make an argument they'd be in the playoffs.

You seem to be defending my point... Yes, he used to win despite no running game, he hasn't really had one since Edgerin James, but after Edge he was still winning, despite everyone knowing that he was going to throw the ball 40+ times a game
Yes, depth at wide reciever. I could probably make a book out of the names of players that were never drafted or never looked at in general who have made a team and excelled, just because they were not top draft picks doesn't mean they are not considered good recievers now, which gives them, yes. Depth.
He had a decent, DECENT regular season but his division title came in the last week over a Jacksonville team in a pretty weak division. His stats look better than what his performance shows, as he had a healthy amount of multi TD games on weaker teams at the beginning of the season and most of his later interceptions came at bad times, late in the game when he wasn't throwing TDs to balance it out. He could have been better this year and he could have done better tonight.
I'm not pointing the finger solely at him, however, management has felt that they can skip by on his passes and shoulders while failing to address the run game, lb or cb position
