I’m surely not a homer, but let’s be fair: when was the last time that Belichick allowed the same problems to carry over beyond that year, and at such important positions?
One possible example that I can think of would be the terrible WR group in 2006, coming out of a mediocre 2005, but even in ‘05 you still had 80 catches from Branch, another 60 from Givens, 40 from Brown, etc.
In other words, I’m assuming that the TE and WR groups are improved upon for 2020. The bar wasn’t exactly set too high, so it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s hard to see Belichick repeating the exact same mistakes. If Brady stays for another season, he should be able to field just as competitive of a team as he would anywhere else. Just my opinion.
sup I think this time it might be too much to over come. We have two Huge positions to fill on O: WR and TE most time these guys don't come in as polished Rookies. This past Draft was like a aberration with the success of Rookie WR not the norm. We would have to seriously out bid Teams for the Top Guys available in FA and when last I check we are not in that business. IF Brady was a little younger I say it's doable but father time has caught up. Fact Brady likes playing with Vets instead of Rookies.
