While I didn't love the presser overall, feeling that Kraft talked (babbled) too long, Jerod does impress me as an intellect and leader. His
ability to speak off the cuff and still make sense is rare, yet I've seen him better than he was yesterday. He'll be fine.
Mayo is about 3 times smarter than Bob and he isn't going to be his puppet. I think you've hit on an excellent point in that he knows how
Kraft thinks and he is far more likely to manipulate him through the press, if necessary, than the other way around. Bob and his evil henchman
Jonny will get the message to let him coach or else their image will suffer and so will the brand.
We don't know much about what kind of team we'll be in 2024 yet, but Jerod's statement about getting a QB with the 3rd pick--- "figure it out" was
an enormous relief to me. That was my number one takeaway. This is the year to get the right guy to build around for real and these chances
chances don't come around often. He's not going to screw around to try to impress people.
