Him doing damage to the Patriots the last 2 years doesn't change the fact that he's been below mediocre as a whole against everyone else. It's an "ok" signing, but certainly not a signing that will make people forget who's left the team and who they've missed out on.

This year RB is so deep in the draft our next option might be waiting there. I say we stand pat.

I would have liked the pats to sign him but I really want them to Draft Tevin Coleman so i don't care. Trade for a G and bring back Wilfork and its a great offseason following a SB win

who's been throwing him the ball?

Kept McCourty
Kept Gostkowski
Signed Sheard, (likely) upgrade at PR
Signed Chandler, (likely) upgrade at TE
Brought in needed competition for the LS

Those are all plus moves. I grant you that the non-move on Revis still outweighs everything else.

I wonder how far along Woodhead is from his injury, wouldn't mind a draft day trade for him if he's ok. I've always been on the Woodhead > Vereen bandwagon.

One thing is clear, the Pats view the 3rd down back as plug-n-play.

I wouldn't be so sure. Ever since Faulk's injury cost NE the 2006 AFCCG, Bill has had at least two on the roster every year. I bet NE has already discussed multi-million dollar contracts with a few guys only to see them get better offers elsewhere. It happens.

Eh, there's been a lot of TEs who have rising through the ashes despite terrible play.

Chandler certainly has the size to get me excited, but we'll see. The Jake Ballard experiment is what makes me temper my expectations.

We just need 2 starting CBs, a starting LG, starting NT, and a 3DRB and we will be in great shape.

how is that case in point? He had Woodhead already in 2011 and Vereen when he drafted White.

How is it not? You basically just agreed with my post that rookie RB don't play under Belichick.

Vereen barely played his first two years in the league, White didn't play at all in his first year. Before those players, Kevin Faulk locked down that role for a long time.

Show me proof I'm wrong here.

Sigh. Has anything gone right in the offseason so far?

Sure, lots. Once Revis left, NE got the two best FA fits on the market.

No need for melodrama, particularly misinformed melodrama.

Chandler just needs to be better than Wright and/or OhOh, in order to make that a good signing.

Mission accomplished

Vereen barely played because he got hurt. The plan was obviously to work him in early. And Woodhead started from day one due to Faulk's injury (though he wasn't a rookie, per se).

NE clearly would prefer a reliable vet to go along with promising youngster, but that seems like the best option at any position.
