    The Krafts

    My biggest complaint against Kraft is the incessant tag line "We are all Patriots!" any time the Pats had success and a microphone was put in front of his face. Are people really desperate to go back to the previous owners? Billy Sullivan was a mediocre (at best) businessman who had to be...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    And like @67YAZ said Minny would only consider a trade that includes #3, but if the Pats are using the third pick to get a franchise WR, why not use it on MHJ, save $$$ and future picks? Using using multiple seconds and firsts to get one WR is a waste for a team in with a shallow talent pool...

    Patriots re-sign Anfernee Jennings

    Also, the Pats can see where their cap is after the draft and see how Judon is moving in early camp and if the cap space is there and Judon doesn't look cooked, then offer a one year extension that makes him feel wanted and uses some of the space.

    Eliot Wolf will be in charge of the personnel department,

    See the part about not being able to develop players. Not sure what your quibble is. BB gets credit for creating a culture that developed unheralded players into stars or vital contributors, see Brady, Edelman, Koppen, Samuel, Onwenu, Mason, etc. When the players stop developing suddenly BB's...

    Eliot Wolf will be in charge of the personnel department,

    Exactly. If BB's culture made greats out of unknown/unheralded players and an unprecedented run of success, then his culture would also be responsible for the team not being able to develop players and falling into the basement of the AFC East. BB fucked up a lot of things to take himself from...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    Could the Pats have told him he's getting tagged and he thinks (i have no idea of the contract structure of franchise contracts, so this is just a wild guess at best) that his franchise deal is a set salary, with nothing to negotiate, so if he signs it without having an agent, he saves the...

    Cam Newton vs. 3 dudes

    I saw this thread title and thought it was going to be some meta analysis of Cam Newton’s tenure as a Patriot vs that of Mac, Zappe, and Hoyer and why the Pats should have kept Newton. Average-sized, non-combat sport champion/Navy SEAL people running up on Newton and trying to fight him is the...

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    Mac was both a symptom and a casualty of the disfunction of the last 5 years, but especially the last two seasons. He was not THE reason the Patriots have been shit post-Brady, that’s squarely on the shoulders of the person making roster decisions and coaching. BB drafted a pocket passer with a...

    Or it could be just that he won't let the press dictate whether or not he follows an effective routine that helps him perform at his best.

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    There are always ifs when projecting NFL success on college players, but if the QB available at 3 is not the right fit or has major questions, maybe you do go with MHJ or Alt or you trade back and fill holes on the offense. It could be a recipe for mediocrity, butI could be convinced to go with...

    Where Do You Want Bill to End Up?

    I’d hate to see Dallas be successful. I abhor Jurrah and the fans are the Yankees fans of the NFL, without the team success. Also the whole “America’s Team” shit drives me nuts. I think Philly presents the best chance for success and while the fans are assholes, they’re kind like second cousins...

    Mayo is the New Coach

    Positives for Mayo: He had a major hand in the only functional unit on the team and the players in that unit want to work for him People view his intelligence/curiosity and communication skills as strengths He seems like the type of guy who knows what he doesn't know and I hope that translates...

    The GM Search?

    Yes, but I think the smart move would be to keep the defense as close to what it is as possible. The current defense works and works well. The new regime should be looking to reduce the number of gaps in the talent to scheme ratio, not increase them. Unless they want to completely demolish the...

    The GM Search?

    There are far too many things to fix for one person to be in charge of both HC and GM. You are going to need one person to oversee the rebuild of the offense, special teams, the lower-tier staffing of coaching and game-day prep AND one person to oversee the rebuild of the roster and the scouting...

    Who is the next coach?

    I hope not. I think the end of BB's tenure has shown that you need clear separation between the two or if you are going to have a coach that is final decision maker you need a "GM" who has enough autonomy and weight in the room to push against a "I'm smarter than everyone else in the building"...

    Patriots non-coaching/non-draft off-season stuff

    There's certainly no incentive to play with Trent Brown and his lack of effort, either.

    NFL Playoffs; How would you like it to shake out?

    I was typing that while I was sick and my disdain for both those teams is high, so I probably just included them out of fever induced hate.
