Who would they have throwing the ball to Diggs. New England is finally going know it felt when we lost Kelly and levy or when Miami lost Shula and Marino. The dream ends and the harsh reality comes in I see Belicheat only coaching for 2 more years if the ? hits the fan.
Big Turk Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Was the equivalent of the 18th pick in the draft really THAT high? I don't think so...not for a 26 year old proven WR with 4 years left on what amounts to a half price contract for the going rate of WR in his class...

No. The equivalent of the 21st pick is even lower. ?

The Bills up through the music city miracle were pretty good and very competitive. The dolphins had the Taylor and Ricky Williams era, which was really competitive. I think what happens is the culture that was around when you had the franchise qb sticks around for a bit. Then the front office flails around a bit, players leave and the culture goes downhill. Then they start taking bigger and bigger risks to get success again, and even if some succeed, enough fail and you go into a downspin that will take years to recover from and they get fired. Then you bring in a new front office regime and instead of doing what McBeane did and refusing to play the hand their dealt, folding and starting again, they try to take a hand of 2 and 7 unsuited in the small blind and bet aggressively. You can't fire a front office because they created a situation that you deem is too broken to fix quickly, and ask the next group to come in and fix it quickly. That might be the biggest quality of McBeane...the humility to not think they could fix something that everyone else failed to fix...just admit it isn't possible and start over. That's a very long way of me saying, the Pats are potentially about to go on a long downward spiral that might start out ok, but will continue to spiral down...or they are smart and blow it up before they start making bad decisions when things start going south and hit a two or three year restart button...good luck, because fan expectations are what drive so much of that, and owners are not necessarily open to being honest about a rebuild, because that would hurt attendance and such. Part of me wonders if Bill just takes all of his years of clout and goodwill in NE and cashes all of it in this year. He tanks and puts NE in a position to draft Lawerence. Literally, going into the year with the Qb room that netted the browns 0 win s points to that outcome. Going from the top of the league to the bottom the year you let Brady walk takes massive brass you know whats. 1

Having said that, I’d like to have beaten him to pieces for the last year or two of his career. We deserve that pleasure! Beating him to pieces in the super bowl is what we deserve!
