Yes.Maybe Tom will come back in 2024, at the age of 47?
That's the corporate game plan?

Can we get a Rodgers in the draft? LolPackers drafted Rodgers in the first when they still had Farve. Chiefs traded up in the first to snag Mahomes. Bills drafted Allen in the first. Bucs made the biggest free agency QB get this off season. Those were the final four teams
Drafting a QB when you have an elite QB like Farve and trading up for a QB when you have Smith is definitley chasingCan we get a Rodgers in the draft? Lol
Mahomes could have been a bust. Big deal the Chiefs traded up for him. Teams trade up for quarterbacks all the time that don’t even make it through their rookie contracts.
The Browns traded up for Manziel IIRC.
More over, drafting a quarterback isn’t the same as chasing a quarterback.
Wow. You should be working for the NFL.Draft someone good, this isn't hard.
True, and 4 of the worst 5 teams this year took their qbs in the 1st round; jets, Texans, falcons, Bengals. with a few of those teams, the qb wasn’t the reason for their recent demise. It’s not always a winning formula.Packers drafted Rodgers in the first when they still had Farve. Chiefs traded up in the first to snag Mahomes. Bills drafted Allen in the first.

It's only a loser move if you give up picks for a guy like Stafford or Ryan.
Ryan is so much better than Stafford.
This is the way.I too long for the days of Hugh Millen and Tommy Hodson. Game day tickets, cheap parking. No one worrying about playoffs. Local Blackouts. ALF.
If you're going to freak out over a position in professional sports, they most important position in sports would be the one you'd want to "freak out" on. A lot of the reason these teams fail is because they mis-identify the guy for their system, they have a bad coach that doesn't know how to optimize the QB talent, their game doesn't translate to the NFL for whatever reason or the team wastes too much draft capital to get them leaving them short draft picks to surround their new QB with talent.
The Pats are a smart organization (the last three drafts notwithstanding). They need to identify their guy whether he's in this draft or the next and then go and get him without mortaging their future. It's not easy to do but it can be done. IMO, they need to stop taking flyers on guys and draft much much smarter on the offensive side of the ball...but not so smart that they try to be the smartest guys in the room.
None of those are the QB's fault imo. Falcons got into a SB because Ryan had an amazing year. Burrow is currently the only good thing about the Bengals and it's too early to judge them because they literally were the worst team the year they drafted him so they improved. Watson is a stud. Really the Jets are the only one you could say over extended and busted on a QB.True, and 4 of the worst 5 teams this year took their qbs in the 1st round; jets, Texans, falcons, Bengals. with a few of those teams, the qb wasn’t the reason for their recent demise.

What do parcells and Bledsoe have to do with the dynasty?We’ve been watching perennial losers panic at the quarterback position forever. Every team that sucks *** tries making the biggest splash they can with QB and it’s revealed to be a complete disaster and waste of time/resources 90% of the time.
Look no further than the Jets. Retrospect can make a decent case that they went into a downward spiral ever since chasing Sanchez out of town (Thanksgiving 2012 soul-killed that organization).
After that, the Jets and every team like that have done nothing but waste their time, draft picks, money, salary cap, and overall investment in busts after busts.
We should just team-build and wait, instead of blending NFL loser-trends with Belichick’s questionable General Manager skills, throwing huge contracts at mediocrity or has-beens, and settle for a cheap game manager until we have a decent roster through and through again.
Maybe Tom will come back in 2024 for one more ring. Doubt anyone else is winning much while he’s in the league anyway. He’s already taken over his Conference, retired Brees and sent Rodgers into a personal collapse.
May as well focus on density for awhile.
Imagine if we didn’t have Bledsoe and Parcels was just drafting quarterbacks every year. The Patriot Dynasty might have been a 2nd rate Steelers reign.
People born some time shortly before the Patriots won their 2nd SB under Belichick are legal to have sex with now.
In that time he's done nothing but deliver double digit win seasons, including one with Matt freakin' Cassel at the helm.
Until this one mediocre season with the disruption of covid taking a heavier toll on a gameplan heavy team like the Patriots.
Crazy that this whole time he was just a bumbling clod.
