Duh...but it's a good article that touches on a lot of reasons why.

Curran: Why Jones excelling on rookie deal is disaster for Bills, rest of NFL

There are plenty of differences between Mac Jones and Josh Allen, including their annual salary. As Tom E. Curran writes, New England’s financial flexibility with Jones on a rookie deal is a big edge.

Yep. I've been talking about this since we let Brady go and The Mac pick is now allowing this to come to fruition. I haven't read that yet but I will say this: BB would be very wise to pay him real QB money in 2023. Seriously. Don't wait until after that 4th year. He did this with Gronk (and Hernandez) where he paid him ahead of schedule. The guaranteed money was enough to get Gronk to sign and I think he needs to do it here.

If we see Mac continue to ascend into 2022, the longer BB waits, the worse it will be on the other side. I don't want a 40 mil per QB on this roster. The market has maxed itself out and we don't need to get involved in it.

It's crazy, but with things going the Patriots' way lately, I'm expecting KC to lose tonight (they're currently ahead 13-3), and the Patriots to win tomorrow. I hope so!

It feels really good to come from 2-4 to the #1 seed in the AFC.

What a crazy year.

Agreed, just 2 month ago, we were looking the Pats to be competitive and even if they lost, we knew what we had for a team in the future. What's happening now is almost surreal. After Brady left I was resigned to the fact that we may be just another potential playoff contender and I was happy with that. This has been such an amazing season, buckle up people, this ride doesn't appear to be over yet.
 
After conducting another master class on both sides of the ball tonight in Buffalo, anyone who doesn’t believe Bill Belichick is the greatest coach in NFL history should permanently be placed on Santa’s naughty list

I hate to say this but I like post retirement Peyton. He doesn't seem to take himself as serious as he did when he was playing.

I'm gonna go take a bath to wash that off now.
