I don’t believe Cam has a long future with NE, nor do I think he’s an especially great option beyond 2020. Stidham may or may not have a future here, and if he doesn’t, let’s bring someone in who does. That’s not tanking, it’s picking the long term over the short term - happens everyday in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more concerned about the overall talent of the offense then the QB position. No QB is going to look good passing to what we are rolling out at the WR and TE positions. The fact that our best unit is an offensive line that is swapping and shifting players from game to game, and even between series is honestly embarrassing. Cam is playing for his next contract and will most likely be gone next year. Stidham is probably not the answer and honestly I don't think there is a QB that will fix this mess. We don't need pro bowlers at every position just guys that we can depend on and honestly we don't have that, Edelman's best days are behind him and the running backs can only do so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Cam needs to be evaluated over a full season. And even then, unless the team adds weapons, I wouldn't necessarily trust that evaluation. It's REALLY hard to figure out how well this team is set up for the future right now, just because of how weird this season has been. The one certainty is that there's a lack of talent at the offensive skill positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stidham probably isn’t the answer, but I’d have rather find out and bomb than roll with Cam for a season and go .500. NE is paying the piper for their roster moves, contract dealings that pushed the can down the road, and failing to draft difference makers on the offensive side of the ball. Almost $40M in dead money, leading the league. There wasn’t much they were going to be able to do this offseason, though. Next season will be different when the team’s actually going to have cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that a problem?? lol That was me, because he's unable to hear any criticism of Harry or Michel but I'm messing. We need people like Jofo to counteract the Elkys lol Edited October 20, 2020 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m haynes Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) It' a weird dynamic concerning the WR position now that Brady is gone. He could take a average WR and make him useful however we can't have average now that he gone. I'm not saying we need super stars however they have to be at least good or above average. BB track record is not so good to say the least drafting WR. The Pats have to do a better job scouting and change there WR profile. Adapt to today's game, speed should be the number one priority. I have realized this after seeing D.K. Metcalf and Ruggs. I wanted no part of DK in the draft. His combine numbers were worst than Brady's. Boy talk about humble pie with my draft friends. Never again, speed is key when you evaluate the WR. Next its quickness and RT tree. If i hear size and box out CB's I will puke!!!! Never again. PS If I see size in WR profile I stop reading and move on. Yes I'm rambling. Panties are in a twist!😁 Edited October 20, 2020 by m haynes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I think DK and Ceedee are proving that size and speed are back over quickness and pure speed that we have been seeing lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the draftnik were saying he can only run 1 route. Turns out he can only run 2 or 3 but it doesn't matter because he can get separation with speed and length and catch the ball....win. I like both the 2019 and 2020 drafts so I'm not going to drag BB, but Deebo was available when we picked Harry, they're both similar size and one uses it. Annoyingly, AJ Brown was also available, who is turning into a pretty excellent receiver. Argh. Something needs to change with the receiver thing. Maybe they over think it due to the playbook (but then why pick Harry who didn't really play in a comparable system...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just I just read your post l can see how my word quickness is incorrect a better word would probably be explosion off the line which both players you mentioned have. quickness is more for an inside receiver such as that JE.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. The entire receiving corps (WR and TE) needs an overhaul. It’s the Patriots’ biggest weakness right now. Honestly, ANYONE who can get separation would be an improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked him. He's on my 'underrated team' every year. However, position of strength for us. WR/TE is a more desperate need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotsWin! Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 After this 49ers game, leaning towards selling. I know BB the coach would never tank and he's going to try his best to win games with what he has... but BB the GM also realized we're probably not going anywhere so we may as well get value for high priced vets we're going to lose next year anyway.
