PATRIOTS NEWS OFFICIAL: Patriots Finally Acquire AJ Brown

[PatsFan2]

Not sure what Drew has to do with this.
So you honestly think that Hurts would’ve performed better in last years SB?
I am not absolving Maye of blame. He had a rough playoffs, and a very rough SB, but to pretend his situation was good is pretty blind. The Oline was nothing short of horrific in the SB. No QB would’ve won that game for us. Not Mahomes, not Montana, not Brady!

100% I think Jared Wilson was worse than T-Rex. We better hope will he's not a turnstyle @ Center he was very weak @ Guard last year.

Its speculation that will always be unproven.

I am not high on McDaniels either Brady made his @ss.

McCorkle or the Zappster would have won that Super Bowl.

Its speculation that will always be unproven.

Of course it is, but there’s also historical proof of how elite QBs can greatly underperform under extreme duress.
Brady against the Giants, 14 pts…..way below that seasons average.
Mahomes 2 SB losses he was running for his life and the Chiefs got crushed.
If you want to pretend Maye had a chance to succeed in that game, that’s your prerogative.

Well said gave you back a kudos.

I agree. As was already pointed out in this thread 'a first round draft pick' could mean Cole Strange, or it could mean Drake Maye. Just because a draft class is said to be weak doesn't mean you won't find a diamond in the rough. Just because a draft class is said to be strong doesn't mean you don't end up with a bust as your pick.

The only thing you do know for sure is you get five years of controlled salary, which IMO is a pretty valuable thing.

Whether AJB is worth more than that is, of course, something worthy of debate. Or at least it was, till the trade was called in to NFL HQ. Now AJB is a Patriot, so of course, LFG!

I was against giving up a 1st only because Philly had no other bidders. Philly also didn’t have to trade AJ if they didn’t get a first. Lemon just went down. They probably wish they had AJ with that news. I don’t put any stock into thinking I know what’s a good or bad trade other than a banana split for a dish of liver and onions,
What I take from all of this is this could be the piece that develops Drake to another level. When he knows he has an alpha receiver that will extend drives and also attract double coverage. He could take a big leap because both of those reasons could slow the game down for him and build his confidence.
Kinda what Diggs did for Allen

That's what I'm saying.
