Cook signed for an average value of just over 16k in a 5 year deal. Not a crazy deal. Far better than Loyd or Lafell and a true outside receiver. Never a top 10 receiver in the league but a setter outside the hash receiver than what the Pats have had since they traded him.
No, it’s because he constantly sought value at the WR position instead of talent. An exception was Cooks a couple years earlier. Actually gave up a first rounder for talent. Not a perfect WR but still had a 1000 yard season for us. Then the when he was coming off his rookie contract they traded...
The rent a star at LT is to keep the rookie QB from getting killed. The Pats had plenty of cap space to overpay at LT, especially on a 1 or 2 year deal that would not put the team in a future cap bind and give the team time to find a more long term solution at LT.
Yes, most of these were ridiculous additions. Throwing darts at the wall. Most were relatively cheap. Thomas was done, Dorsett nothing special, Gordon done and a head case. Sand was another guy super slow, but had a good game against the Pats so let’s go get him. Brown was a desperation headcase...
Yes, we did. But nonetheless, BB seemed to buy into the idea that he could repeat what he and the defense did in the Super Bowl in order to win instead of giving Brady enough weapons to do what he did against KC in the AFCC game
I found it hard to support BB after the Philly SB loss. And after the 13-3 win over the Rams the next year, I think BB became committed to the idea that you didn’t need a real NFL offense to win games. Somehow he seemed to think the he could win games, a lot of games, while averaging Under 20...
Isn't Okurafor a RT not LT? Are you slotting him at LT because there is no one else that is any good? I mean he played the last few years at RT in Pitt if I recall, not LT
And I think that worked for most of Tom's career, but especially towards the end, I think tom no longer wanted to be treated like a rookie who had not accomplished anything. I think Tom grew weary of Bill's style and Bill never changed and doubled down in anything.
