Another "Wolf Bad" thread. Pass.

You forgot to list the F- you give him for trading Mac Jones

I'll just leave this here.

Of the 11 wideouts taken in the first two rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft, only one has fewer catches than Ja’Lynn Polk's 12: Ricky Pearsall, who has 11. Pearsall has only played in five games after getting shot at the end of August. Fourth-rounder Javon Baker still doesn’t have a catch.

Free agent

I'll also throw in the fact that you can only pick the best of the worst groceries available with Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe as your QB, a no-name coach, and no skill players (we had no tight ends signed in March and a worse WR group than we have now...if that's even possible). So nobody wanted to come here. No amount of money was enough for that. I'm not making excuses, it's just reality. And if you read what I wrote today, I'm also not exactly giving the coaches a pass for what's going on here.

But free agent-wise, I really believe that will be different next March. I'd judge Wolf based on what he does next March forward. But they had no chance this past offseason from a free agent standpoint. And obviously, the results are what they are.

And it's a little early to judge the draft. Those always take a couple of years before you really have a sense of guys, especially later-round players. Polk is still figuring it out and I feel like he'll at least be more valuable than Thortnon, Wallace is hurt but he could be a future starter at RT if they take a LT next year. Bell might also pan out, and Robinson just needs to get stronger. So who knows.

Passing on McConkey for Polk is going to go down a one of the stupidest decisions this team has made. It was inexplicable at the time, and now it is a fireable offense

Gee another negative sam thread

It's not like Polk is that far behind McConkey. McConkey's only better at getting open and catching the ball. How important are those two traits to being a WR?

 

[ScottishPatriots]

It shouldn't be surprising that Wolf and Groh suck, if you stop for a minute and logically use your head have to surely come to the conclusion they've been influencing the terrible drafting for years, i know Bill had final say but he isn't god there's only so many hours in the day to coach a football team and scout players.

Common sense tells you he didn't pick bad players alone, he also took bad information from people like Wolf and Groh.

Given everything we seen for 20 years there's no way Tyquan Thornton was a Bill Belichick pick.

"You wanna be faster, you gotta draft speed".

Or some nonsense like that...fkn idiot.

Imma draft this fkn simpleton with my 4th, he's good... you'll see.....once he learns the playbook...in year 3... and if he doesn't pan out, maybe someone in his entourage can make Bologna Sandwiches for halftime so Bobby can save a few bux.

You love making that excuse.

You also have to factor in that Polk was given the clear opportunity from day 1 to be WR1. Others are blocked by good players in front of them

 

[Ian]

It’s just reality. Name one draw this team had back at the start of free agency - aside from money - which the top guys were going to get anyway. There was zero reason for any quality guy to get excited to pack up their lives and play here for similar to what they got on the open market.

They had what many teams have that sign free agents, the opportunity to play. Every time we have this conversation you try to limit it to “top guys” when there are dozens of “solid” guys, role players, etc who would have helped this team. They went to Washington and Tennessee and Denver and Seattle and many came here, we just chose the wrong ones.

C - for Polk?? That’s the most generous grade I have ever seen, he is easily an F

I know, you've said that. You felt this was a desirable destination, and there was no reason why anyone wouldn't have wanted to come here and that the Patriots' roster was equal to the places you've mentioned, all of which have a significantly better record than New England, currently.

Wolf sat on his hands, made all of 9 phone calls in two months, and didn't try to sign anybody good. All the guys he signed were his first choice, etc. and that he could have signed anyone he wanted to but chose not to even try. I already told you if that's how it played out, they should absolutely fire him. We don't need to rehash it.

Patriots judge their wide receivers based on number of merit badges they earn in Boy Scout camp, and how they conduct themselves in interviews.

The patriots wide receivers scouts have lasted this long on payroll because they stole the dirty Kraft pictures from Jake Bequette

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Absolutely. Why can't the rest of the Board tell the truth? Wolf and Groh have to be fired.

Seriously is that the way you want to do this? Misrepresent what I say? That’s disingenuous and if that’s your approach please ignore my posts. It’s insulting and childish.
