As I've said before...
At this point, he had to go. But what Belichick did to this kid's potential was unconscionable. After a pretty successful rookie year, it looks like NOTHING was done to help his second year QB, arguably the most important year in determining a young QB's trajectory...
I'd rather we take care of the OL and WR rooms first before a QB. Hit on that LT or WR and you can help that QB. Right now, that QB is going to get killed and develop bad habits.... seeing ghosts, forcing balls, all the bad stuff you saw Mac do as the offense crumbled.
Anything can be a gateway. Then you need to look at circumstances, genetics...
My view is that anything addictive, anything considered a vice...is problematic to prohibit under penalty. What's more needed are places to get treatment and a reduction of the stigma surrounding addiction. Too...
Wilson's talent level is dropping, but his ego isn't. And of course Payton said otherwise. He didn't want to tank his value. But look at what he DID. Follow the actions, not the words.
Well, as far as his 'mediocre' years, you have to look at when he got his career started. Look at the career leaders in FG percentages for guys who started around then. They're all around 80 or so. It was a different era.

One thing I'm not sure about as far as Brissett compared to Flacco. I think Flacco'd be more amenable to being another coach in the QB room. I'm not sure if Brissett is there yet.
I liked The Sporting News myself. Back when it was a newspaper format and they had team updates for EVERY team. It was fantastic. Once they went magazine format, it became focused more on 'emotional' stories. I hate that junk. Give me data and analysis!
You need somebody you can beat the crap out of while you get your weapons and your line together. Don't wreck a kid because he has no time to throw or anybody to throw to. Get a vet in that can help develop everyone. Get MHJ or Alt at 3, somebody that will help. Because right now, we have...
Arguably this process started decades ago when they started airing Sunday night games on TNT/ESPN and continued with the move of Monday Night games to ESPN. It sucked then and sucked now.
Although what a previous poster mentioned about just streaming Sox games sounds close to my idea of what...
He was 7-4 his first full year as a starter and got them to the playoffs. That wasn't a success? Man, you are cherry picking here. There's a reason people are wary of sudden success. There's a reason there's a term for it (flash in the pan).
All of what you guys are saying is....we should make sure we have an offensive line and receivers to make sure whatever rookie QB we get doesn't die?:P
Of 58 starting QBs that have won a Super Bowl, only TWO were in their first year starting. Tom and Warner. That's it. Hardly a predictor.
And tons of success in their first year? Would you really like that list? I mean, we have Tebow on there. And plenty of other forgettables. It's not...
Let's not pretend that players can't catch fire for a season and then flame out. Trading Bledsoe was taking a gamble on Brady for the long term. It worked out, obviously, but it was still a gamble.
One random note: this also likely means the end of a peculiar era in NFL gaming history. No more NE Coach as Bill famously declined to opt in to Madden's coaching ranks.
Sounds pretty basic and dull to me. If they left out all those storylines.... I mean, what made that 01 team unique was just how all these weird parts came together. And what happened to their other big star in Terry Glenn should absolutely have been covered. Going into the 2001 season, if...
