You mean like Lawrence was a can't miss pick?

The jags won the division in lawrence’s second year and are in contention for the #1 seed.

Remember a couple weeks ago when it was such a big deal to see the Pats lose while giving up only 10 points?

That’s 2 of those in a row now…

And I am comparing him to Eason as a promising QB who was destroyed because they got the yips and their confidence was destroyed. I am not saying they are the same exact player.

Now i agree

Does BB really want to ride this year out due to ego?
It's only going to get worse. No one wants to play for him. He's playing mind games with his own team regarding QB's.
I think it's time for Kraft to make a statement.

 

[Grogan14]

You only trade

i hated the pick... @ibwt group do you still defend it?

there is absolutely 0 need for special team picks if the roster lacks talent everywhere

you never trade up and draft a kicker unless he is undeniably special.
Kickers can be found as UFA's
Bill panicked on this one. If it was for Moody OK maybe
The kid may still be good next year.
Having Folke this year would mean we would be picking 8-12 in draft.
Choosing Ryland as our kicker over Folke was part of Bill's covert tank plan.

Watch Belichick trade down in the draft and not take Caleb Williams

Oh, guaranteed! Bet the farm on that one. Actually a trade down sort of makes sense since the Patriots have so many hoes to fill; dumping a prized QB behind a line that cannot block and a set of WRs that cannot get open is not going to help.

 

[Grogan14]

Personal bias: my preference right now is Maye > MHJ > Williams. If they get a top 3 pick, they take the highest one available.

you will not have a shot at maye unless your are #2.

 

[slash83]

I’d take Harrison over Maye.

They found out TODAY. Lmaooooo

Retire coach before Kraft retires you.

 

[Grogan14]

Coaching malpractice not to give Grier a shot today...but in the long run the loss will help

I can not stand Bill's lies!! Totally disrespectful to the fan base.
I can not believe Kraft will accept constant lying to teh fans and disrespect he shows every week.

 

[Grogan14]

Are you open to the possibility that the top two OT will have better careers than either of the two QBs ? I’d almost put money on Fashano / Alt having a better career that either Williams or Maye.

History shows that it’s actually improbable both Maye and Williams will both be successful NFL QBs.

I’d love to see Harrison here. I’d rather two years of a cousins type while NE stockpiles talent and then get a QB in the draft.

The 2 OT's will go in top 4. They could be 1 and 2

 

[Grogan14]

Belichick for DeVito: a straight up trade.

Give Devito a lot of credit. He did not turn the ball over and took sacks instead of interceptions.

 

[Grogan14]

It’s the shoes he wears and peddles.

Gronk has turned into a patriot hating hipster who is not smart or funny anymore

 

[PWRxWLF]

Zappe didn't play great but I can't blame the Chad Ryland kick on him. That would have sent us to OT.

He put us into a position to at least compete in the game.

Now are any of the QBs on this roster NFL starting quality? Don't think so. But Zappe outplayed Jones and the offense looked far more purposeful and efficient under his leadership, particularly that first 8 minute drive coming out of half time.

Come on man. Damn near every ball he threw in that first drive was behind the LOS.

Technically true, this morning was “during the week” right? Lol

 

[farn]

The 2 OT's will go in top 4. They could be 1 and 2

NE might have a top 4 pick. I’d advocate for OT.

 

[Pape]

Reaction ?

more of the same from 10... that's about it.

 

[Rob0729]

The 2 OT's will go in top 4. They could be 1 and 2

I tend to doubt they will go one. This league have teams desperate to draft the next elite QB that a QB usually goes #1 every year even if that QB really shouldn't be drafted in the top 10. And this year is considered a good year for QBs in the draft.

So don't be surprised that by draft time, Williams and Maye go one and two and another QB or two creeps into the top 5. Neither Zach Wilson or Trey Lance were considered top five picks at this point in 2020.
