    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    Not necessarily a mouthpiece, but a buddy who I don't believe would give strong opinions on Patriots players that he knows Bill disagrees with.

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    It's kind of insane both how on point this evaluation was and how the same doubts and issues persist in year 3 (maybe you could argue what changed is pocket presence went from strength to neutral or weakness). Major props to @SMU_Sox.

    Patriots Quarterback situation moving forward

    I'm looking up my post history because I'm pretty sure I did this exercise here. Edit: okay, here it is. It's from 2022, so if anyone wants to update it, be my guest. "Okay, so I had the slowest of days at work yesterday and embarked on a little project. With all the talk about the "consensus"...

    Game 4 @DAL Goat Thread

    I don't get how people can look at what they produce on offense and believe it would be possible to be this terrible if the QB, the receivers or the OL weren't the problem. They're all the problem. That's how you get to 30th in the league in points per drive and 32nd in drives resulting in a...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    If that were true and he made it known to the team that he wants out, why haven't they flipped him anywhere for a third or whatever? Not like the difference between him and Zappe/Grier would manifest into a significant deficit in wins. My guess is he's possibly disgruntled but the team isn't...

    He threw it after Gesicki had already made his break. No anticipation involved there. If he ran it shallow he was already shallow before the ball came out.

    And people were all over Gesicki for that one.

    (Re)Building the Offense

    One thing I know for sure is they can't have three TEs crossing the 40+% snaps threshold if they want to produce any offense in 2023.

    His average throw without setting his feet has less on it than the average QB's throw without setting his feet. When he's lined up and steps into it the velocity is workable, even if below average as well, but he never does. I think the arm is limiting, but he exacerbates the problem.

    This is beyond awful, christ almighty.

    (Re)Building the Offense

    The fact that defenders can play man and just squat on short/horizontal routes while funneling everything towards the sidelines is a indictment on Mac as well. No one is afraid of either being beat deep by Patriots receivers, or being beat deep by Mac's arm. Also think Evan is better than the...

    (Re)Building the Offense

    Yeah, no one is arguing everything is good around Mac and he's the only problem, but the framing has always been "they need to do better around Mac, they need better coaching, better play calling, better receivers, better protection". Look, a lot sucks around him, but they need better QB play...

    Once again, I'm smelling a rat. Coaching staff feeling the heat.

    BB and the Patriots moving forward

    Exactly. The problem isn't that they are trying to make plays, it's that they lack talent, and thus can't make any plays, so when they try bad stuff usually follows. It's why they can't come back in games, it's why they are useless on offense unless they get up on teams with early leads, it's...

    Pre injury Chad Pennington is in another stratosphere of QB play when compared to Mac and I'd honestly take noodle arm Pennington over him too. His era adjusted stats from 2006-2008 blow Mac's out of the water.

    BB and the Patriots moving forward

    They aren't worse than last year, they'll have a worse record because they won't face backup QBs in 7 games in order to rack up easy wins. I don't take much away from beating Zach Wilson as I don't take all that much away from losing to the Eagles and the Dolphins. We'll know if they're bad or...

    BB and the Patriots moving forward

    Sure, but if there ever was a "not his fault" loss by a quarterback, that was it. Most EPA lost to drops in the first three weeks of the season since they started tracking EPA/Play, by the way. Also third highest PFF grade among all QBs. Lawrence will be fine and Patriots fans should stop using...

    BB and the Patriots moving forward

    I think it was a joke about his association with a far right organization that the team was unaware of prior to drafting him.

    BB and the Patriots moving forward

    Did you watch the game against Houston? Lawrence was actually very impressive. Dime after dime dropped by receivers in key spots.
