They can do whatever idiotic things they want to but I will always support the team and I will ultimately always look optimistically at them.My deepest fear is that Kraft spews some loyalty nonsense to Mac and sticks with him.
I’m not sure I can support the team next year if they make that decision. I’ll just have to take a year off until the dust inevitably settles from another disastrous season.
I can kind of see the logic in them going for a special WR high, giving Mac another try with his BFF Josh and an HC that he may jive a bit better with in Mayo, and in the meantime also drafting JJ McCarthy, Bo Nix or Michael Penix later to develop them behind Mac - and probably bring in a low cost veteran, also.My deepest fear is that Kraft spews some loyalty nonsense to Mac and sticks with him.

I’ll root for them. But just won’t go in emotionally invested whatsoever.I will ALWAYS support the team. They can do whatever idiotic things they want to but I will always support the team and I will ultimately always look optimistically at them.
Oh I’m 100% emotionally invested. By kickoff of game 1 Mayo is my dude. It just sucks that we are stuck with a moron at the topI’ll root for them. But just won’t go in emotionally invested whatsoever.
Personally, I like the one I saw saying JK is a cross between Sonny and Fredo.A guest (local comedian) today on 98.5 talked about Jonathan coveting full control of the franchise and stated that the thought of JK eventually running the Patriots and wanting to be involved in player personnel decisions terrifies him. He compared him to Francis from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, who obsessively coveted Pee-wee’s bike. That made me laugh.
I’m convinced that he is the ownership puppet-master at this point. Robert’s decisions are really his decisions. I fear that this is going to lead to more emotionally-driven, ill-advised decisions.
I’ve just watched enough Mac Jones football for a lifetime. The thought of watching him play QB again here makes me want to vomit.Oh I’m 100% emotionally invested. By kickoff of game 1 Mayo is my dude. It just sucks that we are stuck with a moron at the top
Its probably the most likely option to be honest. Mac was Krafts guy. If they're keeping everyone else around except BB then logically they'll have the same mindset drafting, which means a trade down and selecting Olu or just selecting him at 3. I can't see this organization start to take the need for offense seriously when its never been a priority under Bill to begin with.My deepest fear is that Kraft spews some loyalty nonsense to Mac and sticks with him.

You blame every bad personnel decision on Bill.Yeah, everyone thought Caserio was a bum here. The second he's not getting overriden by Bill he's suddenly good at his job.
THAT'S the context for not burning down the front office after firing Bill. Bill the GM poisoned the well. He didn't have personnel flunkies in the building so much as he actively blew them off for what his buddies OUTSIDE the building fed him about e.g. Harry.
BB wanted to keep Jakobi. The guys you mention here pushed for JuJu instead.Well it seems it's gonna be all internal people, a little disappointing at first, everybody wants fresh new toys but it can work out just as well.
The reports leaked sounds like BB was overwriting everything and everyone in the organization so if these people make the decisions they would originally make, can't get any worse because we were rock bottom in drafting. Hell I would trust the locker room assistant who called the other a Dorito Dink better than BB to make the picks at this point.
Even Nick Caserio could work out being his own man instead of following BBs book.
16 picks on offense to 11 picks on defense over the last 3 years.Its probably the most likely option to be honest. Mac was Krafts guy.

Maybe.He's more like Sonny. Hes emotional
Then all media reports are unconfirmed hearsay. Can't believe what you want to believe, and claim the report is hearsay when you don't want to believe it.
It is reported that BB wanted to move on from Mac before the 2023 season and Kraft blocked the move. No idea what that has to do with the drafting of Mac - you are trying to correlate to independent decisions - poor logic.
A few posters guessed that Mac was Kraft's guy since it was unlikely BB thought Mac was salvageable after watching him for two seasons. We were told Kraft had nothing to do with player decisions and BB had final say on everyone. Turns out that was hogwash, and now Kraft is exerting greater power by not hiring a GM.
R Kraft wants to mimic J Jones. Might start his own weekly radio interview next season.
The worst thing that can happen to this franchise would be for the owners to get involved in football decisions. They need to do what RK did with Belichick, put the football minds in charge and let them do their job. If they fail find another football mind to replace them,but always keep the atopwatches out of their hands.
