I agree that Brissett isn't a starting caliber NFL QB which will show itself over the course of the season. He was a 3rd round pick that has lasted for 8 years so he isn't a bust. More importantly drafting the player is the easy part, developing him to be a good NFL QB is much harder...
Sounds right, given the fact that Martz is a huge fan of Sir Mix-a-lot. It shouldn't scare away any teams, all Alt needs is a bit of the Kardashian training program.
Brissett prioritizing being a mentor over winning a championship or teaching the young guy to be just ok is overstating his role in developing the new guy. The #3 pick should quickly surpass Brissett's skills, own his own development and possess the will to succeed as part of what makes him...
Terrible is probably a bit strong, it is another situation where no one outside of the organization knows the full truth. If everything goes well, everything goes away. As you say both Wolf and Mayo are well positioned in life and will be ok if things go the other way. The terrible position...
The Kraft's own the team so it is their right to manage it as they see fit. If they are involved in football decisions they should at least be open about their involvement. Publicly stating that they don't get involved while controlling things behind the scene is not a good model. If things...
Being able to excel in bad weather is also a good indication of a players mental toughness. Even though Brady was pretty open about his disdain for winter weather, it never affected his performance.
To your point, age is something that needs to be evaluated when drafting an older QB just like injury history. Since people develop at different rates, it may help a player with a lot of potential who is not as mature as others his age develop enough to legitimately compete for a job in the...
For sure, being flexible and working with the team on compensation is part of great leadership for a QB, Mahomes is not in the top 10. That was always one way that Brady was superior to Manning. Manning had to be the top paid QB in the league. That said, both Mahomes or Brady at the height...
Salary cap impact is another example of why QB is so critical to success in the NFL. If finding an NFL QB in the draft is hard, finding one that is good enough to win while taking $40m+ of cap space is near impossible. Realistically only one or two QBs are worth that kind of money because they...
No doubt the team would still have been the situation to reboot given the age of the roster, so it is probable that Brady would have left anyway. The collaboration station was formed as a result of the Harry debacle so who knows how the Mac draft would have turned out if BB was still in control.
Nice summary of where the team needs help. I will only add that the needs are QB, LT and a difference maker who catches the ball. The team needs someone who can't be shut down when the game is on the line. With the Osborn trade TE and WR are in roughly the same shape in that there are some...
To me drafting Harry instead of Brown was the the event that was ultimately BB's undoing with the Pats. Harry being so bad alienated Brady and led to the Sanu trade and other desperate decisions that helped create a cap space mess and push TB12 out the door. If AJ had been the choice, success...
Agreed, proving that he has the ability to confidently make hard decisions is part of the draft day test. Saying and doing are two different things. Until he executes in the real world we won't know. It is good to see that he is holding himself accountable for the decision. Hopefully that is...
Judging by your user name you have a different perspective of his time with the Titans. I have only seen reports that the Titans GM made a big mistake and that AJ was willing to take less money to stay. I have not seen anything about him being disgruntled and forcing his way out of town. What...
He definitely comes across as thoughtful and rational in his approach. The only concern is that he has stressed the point about the draft being collaboration and consensus driven. He needs to demonstrate the confidence and conviction to make the final call without hesitation to be a successful...
LOL, I agree that Super Bowl 49 was one of the highlights of BB's career. The defensive game plan and developing a free agent cornerback to make the key play were great examples that BB actually added value along the way. At least I am smart enough not to choose a user name that honors someone...
