2025 NFLPA Team Report Cards

[ErniesPinkStripes]

I hope RK looks at those Miami grades and does some serious soul-searching on how he wants this franchise to be viewed moving forward. You have the blueprint and the money, now execute. That should be his remaining "legacy" goal.. not the HOF

 

[Ian]

Did you see the Jets? Johnson apparently didn't like the low grades/complaints by the players they got last year, so they fired their dietician and then apparently lowered their investment in the food in response to that. Crazy stuff.

Update: The team must have refuted the fact she was fired, and the NFLPA has since changed it to "did not retain" her.

One other note: She went to the Chiefs, who got an "F" (31st) in this category last year. They got an "A-" this time around.

 

[KCSVEN]

When will the new facility be ready?

Spring 2026 is current estimate

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Lol. Lmao even

For real. Throw the results in the garbage can if this is where they landed on HC

I think it's time to recognize Bob Kraft for the clown that he is.

In particular, two critical failures that he made bother me:

(1) He failed to overrule Belichick to keep Brady. He should have told BB that this was a franchise decision. not just a personnel matter. Belichick might have grumbled but would surely have gone along, and in the process avoided the huge reputational damage he took when Brady succeeded on his own while he failed. And quite possibly we could have won another title. After all, the 2021 team went to the playoffs with Mac. With Brady that team (at least) would have been a serious contender.

(2) What's with Brady becoming an owner of the Raiders but not the Patriots? Why didn't Kraft offer to sell part of the team to Tom? Or for that matter just grant him an interest? Brady being an active owner of the Pats would have been a tremendous boon to the franchise and paid for itself in higher franchise value. But Kraft apparently instead wanted to retain 100% ownership to bequeath to his nebbish of a son.

And now with this NFLPA result, it should now be obvious that Kraft is at best nothing special as an owner. At best.

 

[Jackson 2]

No but they get good players and we haven't won in awhile and have one of the worst rosters. Yeah if you luck into Brady people will come. Tom Brady isn't coming through that door and a lot of fans should reconcile with the reality that we probably finished our era as a team with a QB anywhere near that stratosphere and will have to do things the hard way now.

The Cowboys get good players and turn them into ****. Correspondingly, the never win ****.

That’s cool. I’d rather have the problem of getting good players and not utilizing them well than not even having a chance

 

[Jackson 2]

Agreed, except that the Cowboys get good players and still never have a chance to win.

I'm eating Bologna sandwiches for lunch this week because I like them. The complaints of athletes, the lowest paid of whom make much more than the average American, are far, far down on my list of concerns, though Kraft, as team owner, should probably be paying attention.

How do you get a “F” for weights?
Does Kraft have them using the sand filled plastic weights ?

 

[cupofjoe1962]

You understand Kraft is worth BILLIONS of dollars, right?
The cost to make the seats on the plane bigger, is the equivalent of you getting a coffee at DD on the way to work.
Similar the cost of all the things that need fixing (the rug in the locker room, the antique weight room).

But instead he spends hundreds of millions on a scoreboard nobody asked for.

Don’t get me started on the scoreboard
They added additional scoreboard space so they could put up more advertisements during the game

The actual live game & replay screen is the same size as before they increased the scoreboard horizontally

The scoreboard was not increased vertically

Also hired Mayo....

THe failure to improve team facilities after last year being one of the worst ranked teams in the NFLPA says a lot.

As an owner at present, he is no prize

I was in elementary school when this movie came out. To this day as a 42 year old man, Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown still scares the **** out of me.

And a a generation older as a 65 year old, we remember him from Rocky Horror.....

 

[TheRainMaker]

That may have been the first movie I saw him in. Such a great actor.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

…but didn’t Bob fix the lighthouse?

It's WORSE now! Fkn ugly.

 

[Ring 6]

Last in cash spending on players and 31/32 on facilities.
But Kraft isn’t cheap.

Ironically they are only not last because Kraft hiring an inexperience cus h he could pay cheaply and they hitching ratings because he has no controls in place or demands of the players

 

[Sect140]

In high school the local movie cinema used to show it at 11:00pm, so people were loading up with alcohol before the movie. Everyone would bring spray bottles filled with water into the cinema.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I agree with that. They ****ed that up.

"The Patriots rank 31st overall this season, but there are signs of progress. Following last year’s report, owner Robert Kraft announced a $50 million investment in a new facility adjacent to the stadium, which broke ground in December and is expected to open in 2026."

50 million in an high-end, state-of-the art construction training facility/cafeteria is cheap as ****, especially with the current economic climate of things in the world (good luck on the construction business my fellow comrades americans!)

people need to wise up regarding Kraft, he needs to retire ASAP

Look at me, agreeing with AJ

Crazy how there is no talk about this here lol

Almost like society is conveniently unlearning how to discuss divisive topics
