Completely agreeSurprising take from experienced football guy. And actually shortsighted from your part.
With below average borderline dysfunctional OL (weak links esp at LT, poor depth, new inexperienced coach...) you cant really expect “significant improvement“ from any QB. You dont want to put him in a position to succeed yet you NEED to see significant improvement? You do know the definition of insanity, right : ) Wanna waste another year of the only QB you ever drafted in first round? Wanna waste Judons tenure here and the rest? etc etc
Look at how Brady looked the moment OL had weak links this yr and last (and even then TB OL was still better than NE). And if he was thrown in dysfunctional situation like this as a rookie i wonder how much we would know about him. On the flip side everybody was making fun of Philly taking Hurts in second round. They put him behind dominant OL (also added WR1) and suddenly he looked like all pro. Do you think KC are stupid to invest so much in OL every year after they were burned few yrs ago and rather leave weaknesses on D? Everything in football goes through OL, you should know that. NE wasted two precious years of their first round QB with experiments/incompetence/failure of putting him in situation to succeed. This is not the way you're getting improvement, you're getting more and more frustrated QB and the locker room. (Meyers chose cheap Vegas offer over this situation etc.) If Bill was not Bill he would be gone.
Since mcgary is also gone for I believe 3 years 34 Million there is not much left in the free agent OT spot
I think Brown plus T.Brown and a draft pick makes a lot of sense, esp since our weapons aren’t exactly frightening and mac is not mobile st all, he needs good protection and weapons to succeed we have seen this last year, so i want to give him as much help as he can get to reslld evaluate him
Also after a new OC is here, I want to see what we got in bob with good players to work with
