Tyquan Thornton thanks us for all the hate and doubt

[slash83]

Dude has a couple good games and all of a sudden he’s the next Justin Jefferson

And Todd Hailey took Matt Cassell to the playoffs. Cassell was a decent to good QB in his prime. It wasn't some miracle that Belicheck won 11 games with him.

Belichick valued having a capable backup QB knowing you cant win without a decent QB. Its why he always invested in the position while stupid fans thought they were the heir replacement to Brady

Ok but the 11 wins was a product of a very weak AFC that season and a very easy Patriots schedule. And they still missed the playoffs.

Belichick didn’t “develop” him in 1 season, Josh had the reins on him and he played within the system. Cassel’s offense wasn’t Brady’s.

Mac is in year five and on his third team, he was tagged as the “most pro ready” QB in his draft class.

Drake Maye in year two was the youngest starting QB in his draft class… are you really comparing the two? Good grief…

Mac has excuses… that’s what Mac has.

Wound up by a backup QB lmao

They aren't even all that great of games. He set a personal best this past weekend with all of 71 yards.

If it were me, I'd hold off on the gloating....

The Bill cult is so desperate they’re using Thornton as a flex lol.

Funny how they won’t talk about a made-up “collaboration” on that draft pick. Weird

Literally not one person said that. Thornton has more receiving yards than anyone on the Patriots.

That you say is good.

You don’t know football.

One of you haters started this thread porkchop.

Also you said Thornton wouldn’t make the team… you were wrong, just own it.

That’s fine, will see if his production continues.

Nobody said anything close to that. In an earlier thread I said it would be a win if he became a regular contributor, a role player… and he has done that.

The haters are threatened by his success, it’s triggering them. Odd, but they are well adjusted… according to them.

 

[40yrpatsfan]

Thornton was a good pick after all. People can stop putting him on the list of horrible Patriot WR draft choices. He had great deep speed and I thought he was a decent route runner too.

 

[40yrpatsfan]

Thornton has been decent this year. Let's not pretend he is finally living up to his draft selection. He is starting to be a decent #2/#3 receiver. Once Worthy and Rice are back, he is going to see his production drop exponentially.

He was a mid 2nd, not a top 25. He’s definitely looking like a mid 2nd right now.

Bro’s a ****ing animal!

Backyard Ball.

If Bill had complete power, then Bob said that was changing… why do the BB haters here insist he still had complete power?

Oh yeah… agenda, bias… Bill hurt Tom’s feelings or something.

"Collaboration with veto power" = "veto power".

Thing did change because Bill's drafts sucked and Bob thought he should at least have some voices in his ear.

If this made the GOAT coach go ****, well, that's on Bill.

If he cared as much about his legacy as some here do, he would have found any loss of power unacceptable and resigned as HC of NEP.

Nothing was forcing him to stay, yet stay he did, which says it all.

Either he was okay with the arrangement or he was doing a cynical Bill-first money grab.

That's fine, but both of these opinions are unacceptable to the Cult of Bill.

Bad coaching will hold back a good team from winning while good coaching will still lose with terrible talent.

In other words. These are trained paid professional athletes and the great players in this league are always great whether they are on a bad team with bad coaching or on a great team with great coaching.

Calvin Johnson is a HOF WR despite playing on a winless team due to terrible coaching. Same goes for Joe Thomas being a HOF LT.

These players aren't molded into great players by NFL HCs. They were already on their way to being great due their natural talent and all the hard they put into training.

Cassell was always a quality NFL QB its why he was Brady's backup to begin with, same with Bryan Hoyer, Doug Flutie, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Jacoby Brissett.

Its why the Patriots never fell off a cliff when Brady got hurt in 2008 or was suspended over the inverse gas law. Belichick always tried having quality backups and replaced the ones that weren't quality over the years like Kevin O'Connell and Ryan Mallet when it was apparent they didnt have the talent to play in the NFL.

Belichick's draft started to suck not because he couldn't coach talented players but because he chose players that didnt have the talent.

 

[gobesmug]

Tyquan Thornton isn't some All Pro WR who needed someone to believe in him. He has a limited skill set that wasn't be used properly and has a HOF QB throwing it to him because his top 2 options are hurt or suspended.

Or are we going to think Reche Caldwell was held back by SD because his one year in NE with Brady at QB and being forced into the starting lineup due to a lack of talent led to him getting 750 yards and having a 9 catch 90 yard game with 1 TD.

After that breakout year from Reche Caldwell he played 1 year in Washington then was out of the league.

Lets see what Tyquan looks like by the end of the season before assuming he was some great Wr being held back by bad coaching

 

[Bill Lee]

He’s a deep ball threat… learn the game.

He's a deep ball threat not good enough to make our team.

5 for 9 and 71 yards against a team with ****ty DBs and everyone loses their ****.

We should probably cool our jets a bit, but everyone loves to over-value the draft so we lose it if one of our exes has a good game.

 

[Bill Lee]

It is too funny. Four years ago I was called a Belichick loving hack and Brady hater by the die hard Brady crowd. Now I am called a Belichick hater by the die hard Belichick crowd.

Belichick is the GOAT. I give him more credit than Brady for the first three Super Bowls. But we are seeing even now in UNC with the crap he allows his girlfriend to do that isn't the same guy anymore. Whether he is losing it or just don't give a crap anymore. He hasn't been the same guy for a while now.

You can actually like or love Belichick and believe that.

You'll find logic doesn't work here.

You're either with us or against us.

This is the hill we die on.
