PATRIOTS NEWS Official 2024 Free Agency Thread - Day 5

[upstater1]

Wilson, Lance, Trubisky, Mayfield, Darnold, Mariotta, Winston, Wentz, and Bortles were all drafted in the top three and were either major disappointments or outright busts.

Yes, but your chances are still very high comparatively to other parts of the draft. After the first round, your chances of finding a starting QB who will sign his second contract with you are less than 3%.

In wich we know pretty much know it was something personal between butler and Bill.... doing whatever is best for the team right...

What are these “weapons “?

Who?

 

[jimnance]

It's telling that Trent is still out there... and we don't have a LT, absolutely mind blowing to me. No disrespect to KB, or pop. But we have no LT, no outside WR, is this by design?

Design.
The Pats are planning to run the ball 95% of the time.
There will be an occasional pass inthe backfield to a back.
This negates the lack of a lt since passrush won't matter. As well as not enough time to throw to our quality wrs, if we had any (except DD).
Since the Pats lack any offensive talent, the plan is to use it to their advantage by boring opposing defenses so much they will fall asleep making it easy for Brissett to waltz into endzone.
Gotta admire their willingness to think outside the box.
Who knows? Maybe they'll have so much success,it'll start a trend.

Free agency failure.

Just pathetic on all accounts at this point. I’ve hated everything since day 2. Which is the fact they’ve done nothing.

Maybe, but draft a QB in the top 3 still has a relatively low success rate. More often than not, they are a disappointment or failure. That is why you need to live the QB you are drafting in the top 3 or you are better off trading down.

 

[PowerRunRevival]

it’s day five of free agency and I am now routing for them to go a different direction at GM. I believe Wolf’s contract is up after the draft.

I wanted the team to start fresh at gm as soon as Belichick left. Then I was excited to give Wolf a shot but now that they have pretty much whiffed on every quality player at positions of need in free agency with the most call space in the league…

Free agency failure.

So… Trent Brown, I guess.

They haven't been humbled enough by the post Brady era, they still think they're smarter than everyone.

They genuinely believe Bill was the problem and everything will be fine if you just remove him, this team is going to be a disaster unless they draft the next CJ Stroud, this is heading towards becoming a team picking in the top 10 regularly.

Suckbag roster, cheap owner, cheap in house head coach, cheap OC who never called plays and got fired.

There's nothing good about this current operation, there's nothing good or impressive about sucking for long enough until you get lucky picking QBs in the top 5 because this is where this is heading.

I was hoping we would make this happen. Is the plan to trade back and grab Alt?

Day 2 of Mayo hire?

Same

Good plan if you want to become the Cleveland Browns and have Joe Thomas play at a hall of fame level and waste his entire career because it was a cast of suck at quarterback for a decade.

If you take Alt how do you get a quarterback?

Yeah, the plan is clearly to dwell in mediocrity forever. Bunch of losers

Didn’t the Cleveland Browns select a number of first round QBs in that time period. It’s not like they didn’t try. They just sucked.
