I have never been an advocate for tanking, it gets hairy and the process is cumbersome, especially when you have a solid roster(besides a theoretically retired Brady).I couldn't be any higher on Lawrence though. Hoping it's a moot point and we get 2021 32nd pick not 1st.How successful is tanking anyway? Doesn't seem like it's working all that often.
Unless you are 100% sure that Trevor Lawrence is going to become the greatest football player this world has ever seen, it doesn't seem to be a good plan.

The next QB for the Pats will not be the heir apparent. There will be so much pressure on him to be TB12 that he will be run out of town.
The QB’s that follow’s Brady’s replacement will be compared more to the replaced than to Tom and have a better chance to gain confidence and minimize distractions from boo birds and the media ultimately making him play more fast
I am not saying we will never contend again after Brady. We now have a winning attitude franchise of excellence that will make players believe. I have been around awhile and have seen this time and time again. I am still enjoying TB2 time. It’s been magical
Hoyer is a great "scout" QB (he would make a great Patriots QB coach and OC someday). Can't move on from Etling yet. Tom's replacement will not be drafted in 2019.
Nor did Rodgers. In fact I'd argue Montana and Favre were run out of town because the teams didn't want to blow holding onto the heir to satisfy the older guy.Steve Young did not get run out of town.
Don't be naive. He's literally the most accomplished veteran QB of all time and basically works as an assistant OC along with his duties on the field. Sure he doesn't technically have the right to call any shots on personnel, but if you're talking QBOTF, the team owes him a chance to sit down and talk it over before they make any final decisions. If nothing else, Brady has his own extremely valid insights into what makes a great QB and may be able to provide valuable advice to make the right selection.Brady doesn’t have a say in personnel moves,
Benjamin Brady!We have another 14 years before we need to think about this.

Not only that, but it means BB is no longer the coach.I have never been an advocate for tanking, it gets hairy and the process is cumbersome, especially when you have a solid roster(besides a theoretically retired Brady).I couldn't be any higher on Lawrence though.

You described Nick FolesThis.
The next guy is probably already in the NFL and is a known quantity to BB and the staff. They will need a very coach-able guy who studies and is mature enough to handle the pressure of following Tom. Media savvy and smart.
Section 102. How long have you been a season ticket holder? I have had them for 26 years. What a run for us. I would hate to think Brady’s replacement is going to be a QB with no NFL experience. The pressure of playing in the NFL and being Brady’s replacement will have unbelievable pressure to deal with. The blue chip rookie QB’s will be out of our reach with where we pick every year. Plus if a QB is a blue chip the team who has the pick is not going to trade it away. But we can only speculate. Maybe we strike gold againThis.
