I’ve been saying this since last year. Belichick’s horrendous drafting are the reason for the death of the dynasty. He’s the architect in both the 20 year dynasty, as well as the collapse of the dynasty.
It’s been obvious, FOR YEARS, that this team needs an influx of EXPLOSIVE weapons for the offense. And what do they do ? After ignoring the WR position for years, they ignore the most explosive (DK Metcalf), and select the LEAST explosive. Then after ignoring two of the deepest and best TE drafts (2018-19), they draft TWO TE’s in the 3rd round of an ok TE draft, who have a combined 5 games played and ZERO catches.
Now I know what some of you are going to say. “The Pat’s playbook takes years to get used to”, blah blah ****ing blah. How about taking a look at this offense, which hasn’t been successful the last two years, and making some tweaks to it to be able to use these TEs for what they do best. Not using them makes them a waste of 3rd round picks. Same goes for their 5th round pick kicker which was one of the dumbest picks I’ve ever seen (MUCH better kickers were available).
It all comes back to the draft. I hope maybe they bring in some help in that department as far as talent evaluation. This offense is literally putrid. And hate to say it, because he gave me 20 years of greatness, but it’s all Belichick’s fault.
When it comes to Cam, I like the guy, but he’s a top 25 QB at best. Cam has thrown TWO TD passes in 4 games (4 INTs). TWO ! In his last 7 starts, he has 2 TD passes and 6 INTs. Friggen Tanneyhill threw 4 TD passes TODAY ! Cam is definitely not the answer. Great runner, but he’s thrown for under 170 yards in 3 of his 4 starts this year. The Pats need to be up in the game and running the ball for 150+ yards, or they have no chance to win. If they have to pass, they are ****ed. P.S., the saddest thing I’m seeing is Edelman, he’s obviously finished. Which of a so sad for me, he’s one of my heroes. Trade him to TB and let him enjoy his last dozen or so NFL games. Maybe steal a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him.
