The core of this team is a lot better than many want to admit. Are there questions on some players? Sure. But every team has them.

Patriots never stood a chance. He wanted to go to Steelers.
Bears were committed to send him where he wanted to go.
Another example of Wolfe being hamstrung.
I bet Wolfe explored this but was turned away.
Probably Wolfe has done the best he could with limited options due to a weak roster
Never stood a chance.You previously said that the Pats should give up a 2nd for Fields. Now you say the Pats never stood a chance. Which is it? What you said previously or what you say now?
Fields can run better than Jones but that's who he is. A RB playing the QB position.Fields = Mac
I really don't get the Fields love
No quarterback is more attractive than the one We haven't watched fail yet. That's probably also heavily involved in the forearms fascination with Rourke. We haven't seen him crashing burn yet so obviously he's better than The guy we've seen failI really don't get the Fields love
Note the board excitement for the JAG pieces recently signed.No quarterback is more attractive than the one We haven't watched fail yet.

He IS an upgrade, he's a massive upgrade over what was left of Mac after we broke him, and he's got a proven track record as a good fill-in guy who can cover the job while the rookie understudies him and gets ready to take over. Or, more often in Brissett's own case, when the starter goes down and you need a guy to go out there and play out the string without hurting you.Note the board excitement for the JAG pieces recently signed.
"Brissett is an upgrade!.................................and a wonderful and caring mentor"
People get in love with the athleticism. You'd think after watching Tom Brady for 20 years, they'd know there's more to being a great QB in the NFL than being a great athlete.I really don't get the Fields love

The Patriots never had a chance because they didn't have the slightest interest in him.(Like Me)

Passing and protecting the football is everything at the QB position. Teams have other people to run the ball.
Defenses can easily shutdown running QB’s in the playoffs where defenses are superior to the regular season. At which point they better be able to pass from the pocket.
Casual fans overrate running at the QB position. A great QB barely has to run, and don’t tell me the league is changing… it’s been changing for three decades since Randall Cunningham and Mike Vick entered the league… it’s a load of sht.
Passing is the job.
It puzzles me why folks believe Brissett will seamlessly ease into the Patriots offense and instantly be an upgrade over arguably the worst QB room of the NFL last season.Brissett IS an upgrade, he's a massive upgrade over what was left of Mac
Proven record of substandardhe's got a proven track record as a good fill-in guy
Not a single person believes Brissett is NE's long term plan.why won't people get it into their heads that Brissett isn't in our long term plans?
Correction: Year 5 lasting at least till year 7 based on the Simpleton timeline.We're on year 1 of at least a 3 year rebuild
Or, if the team had any ambition, sign a vet QB at least one notch above the worst FA QB in this year's market., and if we didn't have Brissett we'd have to use Bailey Zappe
Zappe is 4-4 in 8 starts with 11 passing TDsI don't hate Zappe as much as many here but would you care to sit there and tell me that Brissett is NOT an upgrade over Zappe?
Correction: NE hired a sub-pedestrian backup to be starter.so yeah we got a below average starter
Is this how we're keeping score now?to replace our objectively terrible starter at less than 1/3 the money of an actual starter
Weren't you just celebrating having a budget terrible starter?And for God's sake, it's not like we needed the cap space right now anyway!
THAT puzzles you? I mean of all the things that might strain the limits of human credulity the idea that a mediocre QB is an upgrade over, in your own words, the literal worst QB room in the NFL -- THAT's what you struggle to believe?It puzzles me why folks believe Brissett will seamlessly ease into the Patriots offense and instantly be an upgrade over arguably the worst QB room of the NFL last season.
That's not unfair, but pretending that that means Brissett isn't an upgrade at all is either ignorant and dishonest, I'll give you the privilege of deciding which one.
You would think after 20 years with the GOAT QB and GOAT HC/GM we might have learned a thing or two about how to win football games.People get in love with the athleticism.
