[Old 2020 thread] NFL Free Agency/Trade Rumors:

While I agree, was there a certain move/moves that made you want to say this?

He's been killing this team personnel wise (mostly drafting) since 2013 and we should be grateful they even won one Super bowl given they really should've lost two of them.

You should probably take a step back and realize when the actual results conflict with your opinion, your opinion is probably wrong.

I think we did ok from 2014 on without him.

You should probably take a step back and realize when the actual results conflict with your opinion, your opinion is probably wrong.

Would you think differently had they only won one Super Bowl since 2013 (2018)? Because that was a that was a real possibility given they needed an idiotic play call at the one (Seahawks) and an epic collapse by the Falcons to get #2. Sure seemed like Brady's his soul was about to ripped out of him in 2014 after the Kearse catch and the Seahawks about to score at the one. Does Brady even attempt a comback vs the Falcons had they lost in 2014? Does Brady even stay until 2018 had they still been in a drought?

Oh, and take Denver's leading receiver Sanders off that 2015 team, (who had back breaking after backbreaking 3rd down catches in the AFCCG) and put him on the Pats (where he should've been). They most likely are playing at home for the AFCCG and would've easily won.

BB also d***ed around in 2014 not being aggressive with Steve Smith who was meeting with Baltimore when Billy decided to pick up the phone. He also probably would've signed with NE had Billy not picked his nose during free agency. Oh yeah, and Smith tore Revis up in the Divisional round and made the Pats have to come back from 14 not once, but twice!

So yeah, they were lucky to win what they had as it could've been considerably less.

You are trying to rewrite history to support your argument? Would I feel differently if history had unfolded as Rainmaker postulates? Is that really your question?

There is some bizarre sh!t on this site.

Surprised Stills hasnt latched on with a new team... must be some dirt on him because he has talent and multiple teams could use a guy like him.

 

[captain stone]

We passed on him once, nothing has changed. The guy can’t play any more.

Neither can Fat Thor...or Carl Davis apparently...

He must still be injured...though why he wasn't then released with an injury settlement is puzzling...

So your argument is that winning Super Bowls is a bad job if you can create an alternate reality where they didnt win Super Bowls.
this is exactly my point. You are living in a fantasy world.

Neither were in the mix when we passed the first time. The guy sucks.

Andy what makes you so sure it was us that passed on Harrison and not him wanting more money or to play for a specific team?

He's recovering from a quad injury..

Huh? He accepted a practice squad slot.

I'd rather have the ghost of Snacks than little Lord Byron the Coward...now that dude Really sucks.

Well you are wrong but that’s not shocking.

SMH... Just more proof that you're ability to evaluate talent is poor.

Agree 100 percent been saying for years need more voices in the draft room.
We had a pretty solid draft this season.
Maybe Wolf has had his input.
I trust him with every pick over Caserio and Belichick.
Hell I’d let the Texans pastor make the picks.

I did not know you were a religious man. Good to hear during the Christmas/Hanukkah season.
