    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    To me Daniels and Maye represent the spectrum of how a QB’s surrounding cast impacts their tape. Lots of QBs in recent years have been knocked for their all-star surrounding talent (Stroud, Young, Burrow, etc.) and others have been discounted based on their level of competition (Josh Allen...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    I am right there with you. I think the Commanders will and should take Daniels at #2. That leaves Wolf with the decision to take Maye or trade back and let someone else roll the dice. I see the only way Wolf would get credit for nailing the pick is if he trades down and Maye turns into Zach...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    As the consensus continues to build that the Pats will take a QB at #3 and that the Bears will take Caleb Williams at #1, I thought it made sense to start a thread to share thoughts and info on these two guys. Ultimately, it seems like the Washington Commanders will actually be making the pick...

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    I like the approach of not chasing the old tier short-term guys. This team isn’t winning the Super Bowl next year nor are they likely making the playoffs. Field a competitive roster but also provide opportunities for the younger core who will potentially be part of playoff caliber teams to...

    Jack Jones cut

    I didn’t realize the connection to Pierce. Sounds like he certainly got what he wanted. Time to start the tampering rumors! The Pats need as much draft capital as they can get… Biggest risk for Belichick over the remaining games is losing the locker room. The last couple of weeks certainly...

    Poll: What does success the rest of the way look like to you?

    Pretty simple question: what does a successful end of the Pats season look like to you?

    Poll: What do you WANT to see happen with BB?

    Somewhat to this point, I can’t see many folks lining up to (i) follow in Belichick’s footsteps and (ii) do it without a QB or a clear path to a franchise QB. We all saw how hard it was for someone to follow Brady. I think the evidence is pretty clear to this point that QB is the most...

    Poll: What do you WANT to see happen with BB?

    I voted to keep Belichick in his current position. I personally think people make a way bigger deal about Belichick being GM than is frankly warranted. The typical structure is that the personnel department generally has power over the coaching staff. The structure Belichick negotiated for...

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    To further drive the point home that you need to be picking in the top 10 to get usually even a shot at a QB that turns into a decent starter (no guarantees there), here are the other QBs picked outside the top 10 since 2018 that aren’t out of the league or have proven they are backups at best...

    Are NFL Salaries Rational?

    I would add a third item to your list 3. When in a player’s career do they provide peak output/contribution. As with any transaction, leverage has a powerful impact on the ultimate outcome. I don’t know the statistics, but it sure seems like most running backs provide their peak value/output...

    Pats Round 3 Pick #76: S Marte "Silent Assassin" Mapu

    What about Jeremy Chinn as an upside comp for this guy? Came into the league splitting time between LB and S with seemingly more time now dedicated to S.

    Pats Round1 Pick #17: CB Christian "The Steal" Gonzalez

    I always find it interesting to unwind all of Belichick’s trades and think about how we would think about a straight up deal. It sure seems like that the Pats were ready to take Gonzalez at #14 so they didn’t really give up anything there and then they were obviously able to pick up a fourth...

    Patriots Roster Cutdown Thread 2022: Deadline August 30, 4 pm

    Maybe the Pats can get him on a cheap deal as the backup TE now that they only have 2 true TEs? Crazy how good he looked in college and how it just hasn’t worked in the pros. Seems like it is very possible 1-2 guys who make the 53 might not have been with the team through camp...

    The Game Goat Thread: WCG @ Buffalo

    Up and down. Odd being on the opposite end of a Patriots style beatdown. Can’t see Mayo getting a head coaching gig after that performance. Tough to get a fan base excited about a new coach coming off a performance like that. On the other hand, Daboll probably just secured himself a spot...

    Pats-Colts Discussion Thread

    Decent video breakdown on Jonathan Taylor and the Colts running game. Certainly seems to be the key to the game on defense with Mac being the key on offense. View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ebP5Rx9W2dk&t=14s

    Pats offense: Ongoing discussion

    Anyone have any insight into the decision to stick with Karras in the LG role over Onwenu now that Brown seems to have his legs under him? Is there anything that people have noticed they have done with Karras they weren’t doing with Onwenu? I was very surprised it took so long for them to...

    2020 Pats: QB Edition

    My favorite footage of Stidham from college is vs. Alabama (#1, undefeated). Reminds me of younger Tom Brady in terms of showing up big in a big game and relying on quick throws and the occasional big time to throw to move an inferior offense down the field. Very much how the early 2000s...

    RD2 #5/#37: S Kyle Dugger, Lenoir-Rhyne

    This strikes me more as a Jamie Collins than Tavon Wilson. Although the casual fan may say “who?”, many draft pundits had him as a second round pick. This was not a massive I am smarter than you reach. Belichick probably saw a type of athlete he never gets a chance to draft. As has been...
