PFT: Bill "has shopped" Mac

[PatsfanTN]

You have absolutely no clue if the Florio story is actually true but sure, you be you. You and your ilk aren’t concerned with reality or reliability of the author/story. You only care if a story fits your negative agenda and allows you to go full ****** with posts like the above.

You don’t think other teams are capable of planting fake stories to media members in order to sew fresh controversy/distrust within a rival organization? Most web/TV-based media members are frothing at the mouth to post fresh material and have no interest in checking with other sources, in order to verify the story, before posting it on the web.

This is a single sourced story, and apparently the source is so close to the situation that he/she doesn’t even know for sure which teams have been contacted….riiiiiiiight.

In my opinion, here are the three most likely scenarios:

1. Total fabrication by Florio.
2. False story planted by another organization or an individual with an ax to grind with the Bill/Patriots.
3. Legitimate/true information, albeit incomplete.

Possibly, so let’s look at the facts.
1. Fabrication? Maybe, but it’s only a story because BBs handling Of the whole situation.
2. false story? To what end? Also, easily shut down if BB handled The situation better.
3. legitimate? Maybe, if true then a total indictment on BB wasting the #15 draft pick. Mac was not a problem at Alabama.

The common denominator in this teams issues going back to the last 4 years or so is what? Brady’s issues were what? Stop drinking the koolaid, just LISTEN to his responses the media. The a@@hole schtick isn’t aging well.

”They hate their coach”

These QBs are too much drama, I say go back to the winged T offense, maybe the Veer.

If Mac talked to Alabama coaches, doesn’t that mean that he talked to BOB? So BB is so pissed at Mac for doing that, he hired BOB.

Your last point is what it's probably all about. It makes me think about how much "freelancing" was going on with the offense... Mac scrambling for 15 seconds repeatedly for no reason in the one Bills game... Meyers throwing the idiotic lateral in the Raiders game... I wonder if Bill feels like the offensive side of the ball is just a huge mess that isn't taking coaching properly and it's coming from the top down (Mac).

BINGO!

QB not only is supposed to be a leader of the team, he is de facto leader of the offense regardless of how he asserts himself assuming the leadership role.

How did Mac lead the team last year?

Mac’s leadership last year was counterproductive from the moment during training camp he decided he didn’t like the coaching setup. He is every bit as responsible for the on-field results as the coaches. He didn’t rally the troops to get the best performance from them. He didn’t motivate the OL to do better. Instead he sulked, and whined, and eventually called home to Alabama trying to get mama and papa to talk to his teacher and make him get better treatment.

Mac clearly did not take coaching well at all last year. That’s not all on the coaches.

Imagine your boss making such terrible decisions for years, then blames the employees after being set up to fail at their job.

I’m

It’s all about the eyeball test.

Zappe had more control of the offense made Patricia look like he wasn’t an idiot we had some people on here saying he was finding his groove and maybe Bill knew what he was doing after all.
Reinserted Mac and Patricia is a Moron.

In other words the offense functioned better when the QB and coaching staff were in sync, and was dysfunctional when the QB thought he knew more than his coaches.

I would argue Bills leadership was counterproductive, why does he get a pass? The buck stops with him or are we blaming a second year player for all that now?

Such terrible decisions. For years.

so Bill the GM was ok going to go into the season with Zappe or a Jag (unless you believe they were getting Lamar Jackson). this is further proof of this guy's arrogance. He thought he could win w the corpse of Cam Newton and now he thinks he can win w Zappe or a Carson Wentz/Joe Flacco/Mason Rudolph equivalent. This guy has turned this franchise into a freaking laughingstock. He or one of his henchmen have been credited as saying they can win with any top 15 QB....looks like they were Going to try with a bottom 15 this year

 

[Rob0729]

Perry is right. We rarely hear rumors about the Pats trying to trade away or for a player that ever comes out to be true or at least into fruition. We hear about rumors of trade interest by the Pats all the time that never happens.

Bill already took responsibility ... pay attention.

You're reading way too much into a single unnamed sourced "report" by Chris Simms.

But the QB did know more than his coaches.

There is a reason Patricia/judge are not the OCs anymore.

Patricia is unemployed and judge is grabbing coffee as an assistant

 

[A Defiant Goose]

i think Mac should shop BB to the Jets

 

[TheRainMaker]

More than one year = years.

To be more specific, years after Brady. And yes, he made awful decisions with Brady as well.

you mean when the offense had a defensive coordinator, failed head coach and a special teams coordinator and failed head coach coaching the offense.... courtesy of Bill the GM and Bill the Coach

Ew, Coach has a Garmin electronics suite? Fire him.

BB could easily shut this down, but he won’t.

I have read this entire thread and have come to the same conclusion about it that William Goldman, the great screenwriter, came to about Hollywood: Nobody knows anything, including me!

I kinda do.

Belichick is hoping to trade Mac Jones, bring in Lamar Jackson, and then draft Bama safety Brian Branch in the first round when elite OTs and CBs are available.

What did he say about Steve?

Devin McCourty shared the story of Steve Belichick being made coach of safeties and admitting to the group he was clueless.
