Very bad look on Belichick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Scam Newton is still out there looking for a job. Any chance you guys take a flier on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were Cam I would look at the questions on our OL and WR's and look elsewhere. That line could end up horrific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Trending towards playing" so it's still a huge question mark. Karras is gone now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB still is able to make shrewd moves than enhance the team overall and you know, win a whole lot. He has made the moves necessary to be competitive for two decades, which is unprecedented.

I'm not close to the "fire BB" bandwagon or anything, but there's no denying he's in the middle of one his weaker periods as GM. Signing Bennett, then shipping him off, was a bigtime waste of cap space and really bad for team morale. And trading a 2nd for Sanu was ridiculous. For reference, that 2nd for Sanu would have netted use Deandre Hopkins this off-season. Obviously BOB totally losing his mind couldn't be predicted, but a wait-and-see approach, as opposed to desperation moves, has always been BB's usual MO.

Given his cap hit, I don't think we'd be anywhere near players in that game. We're far FAR too tight against the cap again to draw in any big tag players.

True, and I doubt the Texans would ever have a sent a weapon like that to Foxboro, it was just an example to show what a bad overpay the Sanu trade was.

You don't think the natural breaking point with the greatest player of all time doesn't have anything to do with this? The guy stacked a decade of masterful chess playing with his personnel, over another decade. That's unprecedented. Unless you somehow feel we should be awarded another decade. Dissect most seasons, and you'll find the same questionable moves. It's part of the game. And I'm sure you know better than to throw out "Cardinals got Hopkins for a 2nd = Patriots missed out on this." We all know there's no way in hell BoB is shipping him here. You're looking for reasons... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Was just thinking this morning: Has there ever been another Hall of Fame-tier QB to just straight up leave or be released by his team without either a major injury as cause, or a successor pushing him out? Unitas was traded to SD because the Colts had drafted Bert Jones #2 overall that year. Montana had Young push him out (and had a series of injuries cause him to miss considerable time before he was shipped to KC) Favre had Rodgers pushing him Manning had his neck thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
