Maybe he's a Jets fan that's a Patriots season ticket holder (which means he's been one for probably >20 years) just to troll the forum.
Even Butler saw that all wasn't well with the offensive playcalling. And this was allowed to go forward into the season. Unreal.Malcolm Butler said:
The Sony Michel pick was great as it was a big reason why they won a Super Bowl that year.
It's ok but not a home run pick. The more I think we could have had any RB to run through the Offensive line we had .
So you would have rather had another player and potentially not having one of the 6 titles?
Sony made the most out of his opportunities, but his production is widely overrated. In fact, even PFF has stated this of all sites. Along with the O-line, they had two excellent blocking TE's and a road grading FB. With that being said, White wouldn't have been able to consistently run through that as he was a terrible inside runner. Jeremy Hill was the starting back and I believe he would've had a good year. Who else they would've drafted had they not taken Sony, we'll never know.
I mean you could have got Michel production out of any other RB in the 2018 draft albeit at a lower round. First round RBs need to be game changers not bell cows. Nyhiem Hines or Boston Scott would have done similar to Michel.
Would they have taken him though?
That is just a bizarre take to me. Everything the Patriots did that year directly and/or indirectly worked out to lead our team to the ultimate prize and yet here people are complaining about the style points of how we got there. I really can't take these kinds of complaints against BB and the staff seriously; it is just incomprehensible. Hindsight is 20/20 and if you do that for decisions that you didn't like I sure hope you don't take for granted the decisions BB and his staff get right and heap on the praise ALL those times (there are a lot of things they got right).
Taking Sony was more forgivable than Harry or Brissett. Seahawks took Rashad Penny 9 picks ahead of the Pats. How do you think they feel? While Harry was projected to be a late 1st rounder, he had no business leapfrogging AJ Brown, Metcalf and Samuel. I'm not the biggest fan of Prescott, but lots of teams slept on him.
What I find interesting is that posters will dog other franchises for making moves to "win now", but come to the Pats defense if they indirectly win a title with bad drafting - ignoring future ramifications. Bad drafting always leads to a team's demise and that ultimately ended the Pats dynasty. Had the Pats drafted say Chubb and either Metcalf, Samuel or Brown one year later, Brady retires a Patriot.
