Does the QB play a role here at all or is this like basketball where the player can get his hands on the ball himself?
Carter should have had that ball vs the Raiders.
Boy I would to have Meyers back he would look so good with this current group minus Parker and Juju.
Parker wears green headbands, too?
Can’t drop it unless you’re targeted and throw is on target.
my bad
If I worked for a team I would scour the fan boards for intel as doing my due diligence. Fans are intimately familiar with their personnel's strengths and weaknesses.Remember that game many moons ago in Miami when Parker schooled Stephon Gilmore?? How comes we have yet to see that Parker here?? After we made that Trade with Miami their fans were literally laughing because they knew Parker was a bum.
The high number of reps he's been given illustrates absolutley nothing except the magnitude of Bill's error in taking on and then in continuing to feature this failing player on a team desperate for quality wr play. One cannot help but wonder whether Parker's ongoing playing time is far more about trying to obscure Belichick's failures here and to cover his ass than it is about fielding a stronger team, which virtually no one believes Parkers slack play accomplishes. Add to this that Parker's getting so many reps and playing time is inhibiting the evaluation and development of younger players who seem to have potential, and the whole thing stinks to high heaven.
BB always says "what's best for the team" with Parker I believe it's a motivation factor. He got a new contract after really not proving much. He has talent but he just isn't playing well this season. Juju was hurt when we signed him he should have been on PUP/IR until he's ready. He's a much better player than early he has shown. So KB, DD , Reagor IMO gives us some speed and just a different look offensively. Douglas is going to start getting attention from DCs if so that is great for us. He's explosive with his speed.
I feel no great urgency re doing a lot of trades this year. First of all, because of GM failings, it is hard to get a full read on the merits of a number of our players. Second, some of the players in question really could be contributors to a better Pats team going forward. Third, there is NO point in trying to improve the team's record this year. Records are relevant to a team's chance playing/succeeding in the playoffs. and we have no such chance. Finally, I really do not want significant roster decisions to be made until Bill is removed from any say-so in this area. Taking all in all. I don't think the trade deadline, aside from trying to get a little something for a few players from whom we know we are moving on, is much of a big deal this year. I'd be happy if could just find a way to get JJSS and Parker off the team, now. What is the point? Even if there were to be a spate of injuries at wr, I'd rather take a flyer at some interesting castoff than continue to plod forward with two proven losers. Aside from that little hope, I'd be fine with "anticlimactic."
It's hard to take such a view seriously, at all.
The numbers and analytics are all for the people who get paid to sports report. Sometimes you need to use the best test of all the EYE test.
Is this satire? I didn't know if I should give you a like or a funny emoji.
That might work roughly on a par, at least, with a HC/GM's consulting his own press clippings and the views only of those with a deep passion for kissing the very much past master's ring or ass. Alternatively, the team might seek out actual competence based in the current state of play in the game in light of the teams current irrelevance to that state of play and failures in its context.
It's a glib trick in which one can imply wisdom without actually offering any evidence or instance of it. It is the rhetorical equivalent of a photoshopped dating site pic. But, as it is offered in well-wrought sentences with a genial lilt, it suffices when something better is unavaliable, so I will give it an "already discussed" since that is our only utterly meaningless emoji offering here on the PF site.
For a team with such a horrid GM, they sure have a lot of talent to trade. The GM screwed up the QB position, and sometimes that can be enough. Or maybe the headcoach screwed up last season when he had a QB playing great, who was 2-0 as a starter and instead of sticking with the hot hand he went back to his turnover mistake prone QB instead.
We were told Jonnu and Agholor were a problem as well, now those two players are thriving with their new teams.
Just to be clear, we’ve noticed.
