Arrogance. The Pats F.O. think they are the best in the NFL and actually awful or lower bottom of the league. The CAP scares no one else but the PATS F.O. Any Team wants someone, they go get them. Look at the Cards chasing Manning who are in that supposed that bunch of B.S. "CAP hell".
We reward mediocrity. We sign these guys back after mediocre seasons. The only difference is BB usually gets something out of those second tier dudes. Imagine how dominant the Pats could be if the went after just a little more talent.
Felger actually said something smart today. He said the Past F.O. tried to play the waiting game with Mankins and Wilfork and they wound up mismanaging the negotiations and overpaying. I can't agree more. He said that the Welker thing should have been addressed earlier so this is another screw up and now this is putting pressure on signing a difference maker like Williams. This whiff on Williams, a player who comes around every ten years, is a stupid move that will back fire on the Pats, But what do I know.
The Pats do very well and BB is a great coach, and we are all spoiled. For some reason they prefer to do everything the hard way. Call it luck or skill, they always play to the top of the league with a weak roster. Lat years roster was terrible if you go over each player. I don't know how he did it.
The most awesome and fun Team I ever watched was the 07 Pats. They pulled out the stops and, oh by the way were less than two minutes from a perfect season. There is no argument that changes that. It is miserable knowing that there are Teams that have grown a set and have decided to get better while as happens every year but 07 hope the crumbs work out. If BB needs to see tape on Williams I am sure we can get him some. He was the one player you most needed fro the last 5 years.
How many will they sign? 0 that make sense.
