    Looking at the Patriots 2024

    Sorry but that's just not based on facts or statistics. Should we not have drafted Drew Bledsoe because the year before we were 1-15? I promise you that team was a hell of alot worse than this one and they were in the playoffs two years later. Also, sitting a year or not has no statistical back...

    Looking at the Patriots 2024

    All three are far more than a step above Mac in ph Personaly I think Maye and Daniels each have legitimate skills to build around. Given the choice I would go with Maye first because of his raw potential but I'd be happy with either pick. What simply can't understand is the idea that many seem...

    Tee Higgins

    I don't think that's in question, where and how you get those wrs is. I just think that if you're going to take the shot at franchise QB with the 3rd overall pick, you are only helping your odds of success by having at least one established and legitimate offensive weapon. Maybe they fully...

    The Dynasty

    I think it was honest, but more importantly it seems to me that most of the people that where there, coaches, players and staff do as well. It doesn't diminish Bill's contributions to the success the team had one bit in my eyes.

    Tee Higgins

    I'm really not trying to make reactionary judgments because it's early but do they really want to sell us that not one of these wrs would help? 🤔 Maybe they have a plan, maybe they have multiple plans but if they think they aren't going to have to over pay to bring some weapons in, their sadly...

    Tee Higgins

    I'm starting to think it's less about the 2nd round pick and more about the contract. It's early and I'm not going to go overboard with the "Krafts are cheap", narrative but we've watched them now pass up multiple opportunities to get better and the only cost is money. Are you telling me not...

    Agreed, it's comical how so few understand this. Somehow 1st round is too risky to take a QB, MHJ is a sure thing, and it's easy to find a 2nd round QB. 😆

    If you're not grasping what I'm saying I really don't know what to tell you. It's not that complicated, and I'm honestly not trying to be insulting. I'm not saying I hold a crystal ball on these players, what I'm saying is the media's goal isn't evaluation, it's stories, headlines, air time...

    Tee Higgins

    I'm curious to see what the collective thought here is on possibly trading the 34 pick for Tee Higgins. Obviously there are quite a few variables in play but my thoughts are that if they do intend to take a QB at 3, it would be better to pair him with a talented vet than say another rookie wr...

    It really is something, and I don’t think many understand that what Mel Kipper and the othe media heads do is not what real team scouts and evaluators do, or at least the good ones. It's pretty much stock watch, who's betting what stock goes up or down and they can force the narrative by how...

    2024 Draft discussion ONLY-please.

    Oh I've heard the term used by the media plenty because it gets people to read and listen to their next batch of stories. I can't think of an instance of a coach or professional evaluateator using it to describe their evaluation process. Nevertheless that wasn't really my point. I'll put it...

    I wouldn't take JJ at all, that would be like drafting Mac Jones all over again. At best he's a game manager with limited physical ability and I've seen enough of that. I could care less about "it factor " whatever that is. Too many get caught up in the media bs that has guys rising and falling...

    I think they already have, or at least should by draft day pre-decide. There's only 3 different scenarios, they should know exactly if any of the 3 are their guy, outside of a ridiculous trade offer.

    2024 Draft discussion ONLY-please.

    I understand your concerns, but I think that they have to fall back on the averages. We know that historically 1st round QBS fail about 50% of the time, however 2nd round QBs fail 70% of the time. After that it gets ridiculous with later rounds failure rates at 90-95%. 11 of the 14 staring QBs...

    Jacoby Brissett, Patriots agree to one-year, $8M contract

    Thus makes no sense, wrs don't change the success of teams the way QBs do.
