Your inability to accept any sort of Patriot criticism is even better documented.
Your inability to comprehend why this team is not better off after this trade for this year is proof that your brain can't compute any sort of Patriot criticism.
Condon, you keep saying we wont be better but I am not sure that is 100% guaranteed. Mankins was solid, no doubt. Elite still? Probably not, but certainly excellent.
But now you have to factor this. Is TW production plus what the next LG gives us better than (or going to make it easier to win) than what LM gives you.
If another LG comes in, and the sack levels (hurries etc )stay about the same as last year (40) which wasnt great to begin with then whatever TW gives you is gravy. Plus what they can do with the other cash.
WRs go down, Gronk is gronk. If TW is there to replace. Or TW is just integrated into the lineup and Brady is able to get off more plays, or quicker plays, it makes up for a Guard who is not as stout.
I dont see the fallout from this trade as a black and white thing i.e All pro gone, replaced with raw rookie for future. Its not really that.
Given the numbers of last year of both sacks and TW receptions and yards, given who was throwing to him, you could make an argument that Tim Wright is a better player in his position than LM was.
And right now, we have backup guards. We dont even have any depth at TE much less a Joker for the team.
