Crimmage Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I dont understand why he would want to come here though.. Packers / Chiefs make the most sense imo. Go be the #2 there, put up huge numbers the second half of the season and go into free agency trying to get a big contract. The Patriots system is known to take time to learn.. and he would immediately be the opposing defenses #1 target to shut down on a weekly basis. We know that BB isn't going to want Mac forcing the ball to OBJ so being a decoy half the time isn't going to get him paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter2_1 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Not for me. Would OBJ be happy in cold boring New England? He wants LA or Vegas or NOLA can we afford him? Will he get frustrated with our offensive ID? Which is plenty of running and short throws right now i don’t doubt he’s still decent enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 At this point he has to settle for 1 year prove it deal. I'm all for bringing him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimmage Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Rams better hope they win it all this year.. I can't imagine that team has more than a 2-3 year window tops before the cap becomes a major issue for them. Patriots aren't going to be ready to truly contend for at least another year or two anyway so I'm fine with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even teams with all time QBs still go through windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packers / Chiefs / Seahawks / Patriots / Steelers / Ravens / etc. had "windows" for 5+ years because they had a great QB and good organizations. They have a great QB, a few high priced pieces to keep them competitive and use draft picks to fill the rest of the spots. Now they aren't necessarily title favorites but they are always in the thick of things. Once you're in the playoffs we all know one or two plays can be the difference between a super bowl appearance or not. LA is in a window because they have sacrificed draft picks for high priced veterans. Stafford isn't in his 20's anymore either so you don't know how much prime he has left. They obviously know way more about the cap than I do but it just feels like they are going to be forced to blow it up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers had losing seasons in 17 and 18. The Steelers dont have a young chicken at QB either. I think you are looking at windows differently than I am, but a good QB and quality org means your gaps between windows is much shorter.

To be fair, Rodgers missed half of 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I find Rams so easy to dislike. I guess anywhere Ramsey (and now OBJ) goes, I’m going to be out on them. Also think Donald is a sore losing punk. They’ve been my pick for SB champs all season though. Picked them in off season. Think it may be a Rams vs Ravens B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m haynes Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 IMO OBJ is a waste of time with the Pats. He has absolutely no future with the team or MJ. 2 hours ago, Crimmage said: Patriots aren't going to be ready to truly contend for at least another year or two anyway so I'm fine with that. Exactly, why waste any assets when this team is not ready. They have major holes going into next year and I rather see them plan for the future. The Pats still have major holes to fill and need YOUNG players for the future. CB,LT,LB, S and WR. Forgot replacement for RB White as well. OBJ will be long gone before the Pats are ready.
