I mean, I was never a huge fan of Jakobi Meyers as it was anyway, they just have to get faster at the position, or at least get better route runners. Meyers had some production, but I think that brainfart in the Raiders game was the end of his time here. Basically to me, he was Brandon Lloyd. Nice player, but can absolutely do better.
I don't think we should overlook the fact that even incumbent players may feel there are greener pastures, elsewhere. This is not the "special place" it was in the Brady years. I am not throwing shade at BB or Kraft because this was coming. But if Meyers felt LV was closer to a winning situation than here, it's hard to argue with him or any other player.
He's a silly boy if he's basing the Patriots going forward on what happened last season. I mean we have huge changes at coaching with BoB coming in and no Patricia messing around. Next season will be a world away from the 2022 season.
No doubt. But some of his warts as a player will be better masked alongside Adams/Waller/Renfrow than they would be staying here as WR1. Perhaps that was also a factor.
It could be that he really enjoyed playing for JMD. Either way, $21 nil guaranteed. Couldn't be happier for an UDFA who told his agent he wanted to play for the Pats because they'd drafted a first round WR the year before and he wanted to prove he was just as good as a first round talent. Turned out to be a good move (we didn't fully appreciate Harry's softness after his first year).
Agree. Sometimes we forget that players have a say where they go or don't go, and we seldom hear the real reason. Mike Reiss points this out once in a while, as well.
No he wasn't, but he was still the most reliable and consistently productive wr we had. Now we have nothing. I hope they have an actual plan in place, and maybe they do, but right now Wes a tackles are coming off the market and there hasn't been word one that we are in on any of them.
I would have to believe that Billy O, probably had some input in this, in as far as how he invisioned Myers in the system he's going to run, Myers isn't the quick twitch slot that he traditionally uses. It's possible that Myers skill set simply isn't what he wants.
I only bring it up because there was such a dramatic change IMO in how the offense responded to Zappe. I don't know though. The coaching makes it hard to gauge anything.
