Not if his performance has fallen off and he’s showing signs of attitude problems like showing up la te for important meetings.
do you think Agholor and Jonnu should have been rated more highly last year because they performed well the previous year? It’s the same thing, what matters is how you are performing now, not what your newspaper clippings say you did in the past.
training camp and preseason are about competing for a job. Performance then matters too. if his preseason performance wasn’t as good as new additions to the roster, or guys who had disappointed last year and worked hard to improve, his ranking would reflect that.How could his performance have fallen off? They hadn't yet played a game.
are you saying the problem was that Mac was instructed not to check for possible blitzes and adjust protections? Or did he come up with that himself?…, beat reporters revealing Mac is being hamstrung at the LOS being instructed to just run the called plays.

in other words, his ranking in August 2022 was based on how he performed in August 2022 not on what he did in 2021.
that’s not hard to understand. I’m sure you can do it, if you just try hard enough.
Whenever I watch a Pats game my biggest concern isn't which players are on the field, it's that the players know who's the boss.Once again, gruff ol' Little Billy Notgoat is showing that he would rather lose his way than win another way.
T-E-A-M be D-A-M-M-E-D.
I had given Bill credit for one more win than he has. I used to be very good at math but I wasn't then.gruff ol' Little Billy Notgoat fun fact is 35-36 playing without the real GOAT.
I've been with you all along Joker. Hopefully they'll fix all of that and start playing decent football.Today it was revealed that Patricia and Bourne are at odds and BB is just rubberstamping Patricia's decision to limit Bourne's playing time.Internally they've all known this since the start of camp.Other revelations today point to a team in disarray. Scar's comments, beat reporters revealing Mac is being hamstrung at the LOS being instructed to just run the called plays.
As a fan since I was a little boy in the 60's, I witnessed all the ups and downs this franchise has given us. This season I must admit I do NOT like what I'm hearing...and what I'm seeing.
I don’t think it’s that cut and dry that he was the best wr last year, and while I view him as a better receiver than some of the other guys, I don’t think he’s multiple tiers above them. This isn’t like 5 years ago the staff saying jules is below hogan and dorsett.You don't think it's shocking that the team's best WR last year was rated #4 by the team, when the only change is the swap out of Harry for Parker?

This new 'Friends and Family' Bill Belichick has certainly altered his WR template in recent years.As I said to someone else, don't give me the practice stuff, because it's irrelevant. You claimed his performance had fallen off, when he hadn't played in a single game. There was no opportunity for his performance to fall off.
We also, according to at least one reporter, had Parker getting shut down in the joint practices, so, even if we did foolishly go down the "OMG! Practice!" route, Parker wasn't doing anything to put himself above Bourne.

But Agholor could only muster up a measly 28yds against their #2 and 3 CB's their best was on Parker. At that $$$$ he's making plus his all world preseason I think it's not too much to ask for at-least 80yds a game. They need to start getting back better returns on the Agholor investment.I don’t think it’s that cut and dry that he was the best wr last year, and while I view him as a better receiver than some of the other guys, I don’t think he’s multiple tiers above them.

It would not surprise me if the coaches said that jakobi was still our best wr last year. There’s probably a reason in their minds that the snap count was allocated the way it was. And jakobi was productive too.
Like I said, Agholor is surprising, but he’s reportedly had a better offseason/preseason. And worth noting it’s not like he’s never produced in the manner KB has. His highest volume year had more yards and TDs than that of KB. I personally prefer KB as a player, but I don’t find it shocking if the coaches said KB was fourth this year after a lackluster preseason.
You'll have a better chance getting blood from a stone.Signs of a poorly coached team.
If the season starts to really go south I expect coaching changes.
I don't know about you but I would rather go 0-17 than have a receiver who shows up late to a preseason game!Whenever I watch a Pats game my biggest concern isn't which players are on the field, it's that the players know who's the boss.
So much for Mac saying "it's a collaborative effort, coaches listening to what we like."Greg Bedard of The Boston Sports Journal // 10 Questions with Bedard // Patriots Week 2 Thoughts - 9/13 (Hour 2)

start listening at the 37 minute mark..."we really like this play, you're going to run it...period"...that's what Patricia is telling Mac. This is a quantum shift as far as we are accustomed to seeing.
We're off to a good start.I don't know about you but I would rather go 0-17 than have a receiver who shows up late to a preseason game!
