Okorafor was NEVER a "solution" for Left Tackle. Not for anyone who actually was paying attention. Okorafor was a low-risk/ high potential signing for starting RT that might provide some swing tackle ability.


Wallace practiced LT for Penn State every year he was there. He was a project for LT but should have been able to take snaps at RT from the get go. They mishandled him during TC.

There was no free agent LT available who wasn't over 30 already or injury prone or both. So this idea that they would have to overpay is just garbage on your part. There wasn't anyone to overpay. The top LT was Trent f'in Brown. This was brought up before the end of LAST SEASON. That there weren't going to be any Free Agent options in 2024 OR 2025 that would be better than what the Pats had last year.

How can they bargain shop when there was no actual product to buy in free agency.

As for someone like Suamataia, just remember he got benched already by the Chiefs.

With how bad our tackles have been this year, Jonah Williams and even Elluminor would have been upgrades from what we got.

The tackles available in FA were either busts or useless. No one has panned out from last year. The two biggest buys were busts.

And those teams are the hook for incredible amounts.

Trent Brown was considered the best OT in the market this past free agency.

Last year, we complained the Patriots didn't take Broderick Jones or Dawand Jones. Both of these players are sitting the bench and hardly play now; and when they have (for instance Dawand) they've played worse than Vederian Lowe.

About the only argument we can really make is that they should have traded up from Wallace's spot to take Patrick Paul or Kingsley Sumataia, or dropped back from the Polk pick and taken one of those two.

They started a guy claimed off of waivers that scored in the 30’s for his pff grade yesterday. Even an average or slightly below average tackle signing in the offseason would have helped.

You underestimate how terminally putrid the OL is. No quarterback can surmount that. Until they become at least mediocre up front, whoever is behind center will be a punching bag. Might as well let it be Jacoby while that's in process.

Once you make peace with this, it becomes easier to stomach watching the games.

I am not sure why we cut Zappe though. He could have been an option at this point.

The worst part about this team (imo) is that we have no redeeming qualities. There isn’t one positional grp aside from the 2 kickers that you look at the team and say “we’re looking real good there.” I hate to say it, but if this past offseason was any indicator, 2-3 year rebuild isnt within the realm of possibility. Maye can be a ****ing rockstar and its not going to fix the OL, front 7, mediocre LB corps, CB depth beyond Gonzales, 2 SS’s roaming the backfield. Maye might make the receivers look at little better but the talent still isn’t there either. Wolf has his work cut out for him and I really dont know if he’s the right man for the job.

That would be a nice start and yeah I agree we have Problems aside from our Kickers.

Kraft makes Mayo too.

I bought some this morning.

When I first started watching football, I thought Kraft owned the company lol

 

[PatsFan2]

Daniels is in his seventh year of post-HS football. Maye is in his fourth. Big difference beyond coaching.

So Joe Milton would be in his 14th year?? What's your point?? He played like what seems forever and still sucked.

Let me ask this? Does AVP last beyond this season. I really started to think of this? With the Browns still being on the hook for his salary this season...

Dabol likely will be available as an OC. Former coach here.. I believe dabol is a QB savant he could be excellent for Drake.

They aren't firing anyone next off-season. Like it or not this is the reset year. Right or wrong everyone will be given a pass.

How bad does it need to get before an executive decision gets made. Because believe it or not its going to look like this the rest of the way.

How are we going to get FA's here if they don't see sample size of say Drake Maye??

Who wants' to play with a Unknown QB?? Maye needs to play he's our only hope right now.

It's week 5.. by now coaches know what their team pretty much is.. a month of film for coaches to see if thier team is ass or any good.

 

[lancerman]

Says the guy who can’t back up his obviously wrong statement.
Prove me wrong. If it happened you have proof.
I’ll make a deal with you. If you can prove it I’ll stop posting here, but if you can’t then you stop posting here?

Imagine making a bet with Triumph...

Yes!! Mayo feels the pressure he knows the pressure is mounting..

I want more than a sample size. Play him now and let's eat the whole pie.

Yes!!!!!!! What's mayo scared off?..

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

He was - genuinely - the best coach ever until his last couple of years. He was never a great GM. In the end, he was a failed GM and a failing coach. It happens. In one manner or another, it happens to everyone. Sic transit gloria mundi.


I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

- Shelley

I think you agreed with me
You lost me at “I” lol

And we are @ss we Stink.

We need help in the secondary too brother.. gonzo is a stud.. he needs a partner across from him..

You really think Kraft is going to fire guys the first year after replacing the GOAT? I just don't see it nor would I agree with it. You don't hire such a raw staff and then give up after one year. Unfortunately this is the situation for better or worse you owe it to yourself and them to let it play out.

 

[Clonamery]

Yes!!!!!!! What's mayo scared off?..

It's not his decision alone.

Oh... yeah of course I understand all that. I'm asking the question of what if it continues to go this way and worse the rest of the season. AVP would be off Clevelands dime like by then. Not saying they would persay..
