Pats front office at the deadline

[Real fan 02]

Can't wait for the illustrious 7th round pick for him.

Can't wait for the illustrious 7th round pick for him.

Yeah it’s a joke.

I would have gotten Lattimore for a third.
Was GM is cooking and I know we all wanted him.

Yes!! Lattimore is the perfect vet to play with gonzo....

The Patriots will do nothing at the deadline because Wolff sucks at his job as much as Mayo

It was painfully obvious that both HC and GM should have been outside hires

If we get a 7th straight up id jump for joy!

Can’t wait to watch Thornton make plays on an offense that knows how to use him.

Would not have minded giving up a 3rd and having Lattimore for $18M next year and $18.5M the year after. Also don't mind having the extra cap space to use and keeping the 3rd.

I'd probably lean away from trading high draft capital for a player right now. Lattimore is really good and still pretty young though so wouldn't have hated it.

This is crazy to me with his pedigree.
I think someone needs to take the team from the Krafts.
Can someone report to the office of the aging that Mayo is taking advantage of Krafts dementia.

Can't get blood from a stone Thornton sucks...that we know.

Turning 29
But you can win a playoff game with him.
If we went on a winning streak to get Into that kind of contention.

We will see.
I bet he does better elsewhere when they stop have him blocking 270 pound D lineman

Another sleep walk by wolf... guess he's happ with marco pass interference Wilson opposite gonzo.. ugh..

Yup. ROFL

Obviously, we could have signed Lattimore to a long-term deal.

Certainly, he would much, much rather play for the patriots.

Wolf is tanking for the #1 overall: after last Sunday I see No more possible wins on our schedule so there's that.

Another poster who thinks that there is a rule that allows the patriots to force trades and to force players to sign good deals with us.

Agreed and Washington just selected a CB last season with thier first round pick or was it 2023? So guess he's bust.

Thornton can't beat the press and he can't Catch horrible kiss of death for a WR.

Imagine if we did an actual search and hired the best candidates, 4-13 Patriots picking 3rd overall kept the same people in personnel who have been involved in horrendous drafting and paired them with a coach who was hired 5 years ago cause the owner liked him as a person and has never been a coordinator and paired him with a cheap OC with an outdated philosophy who no one else would even think of hiring and you have one of the worst 3 teams in the league again.

4-13 Commanders picking 2nd cleaned house and did an extensive search and hired the best GM candidate on the market and a proven defensive head coach and an expensive offensive coordinator and are 7-2 and a destination and trading for pro bowl corners mid season.

There's context to this.

1. Let's be real, Jayden Daniels is easily looking like the best QB drafted this year and he's actually in the discussion for MVP right now. He might actually be having the best rookie season we've seen in the modern era. We couldn't get him and it was unrealistic for any team to expect that outcome regardless of who they took. Even Washington didn't think he'd be this.

2. The NFL is lopsided towards offense. The Commanders weakness was defense. The Patriots defense was offense. Their new QB was not in as bad of a situation as New England. Before free agency and the draft New England was widely regarded as the worst situation for a rookie QB due to the lack of talent on offense, the lack of consistency in offensive coaching, and the track record they had since 2019.

3. This is going to sound like cop out. But the Commanders schedule has been pretty easy. They beat the Bengals who we beat. The Giants, Panthers and Browns who they played are Patriots level dumpsterfires and as bad or worse than anybody we played. That's 5 wins out of their 7 that the Patriots would have good odds at getting if they played all those teams. You are talking all teams competing for the number 1 overall. Arizona and Chicago are there their only respectable wins and those are still middle of the pack teams that.

The Commanders did have a better free agency, I won't debate that. But their results are just as much luck of the draw than anything else.

I don have a major issue that we kept Wolf who has been part of the front office while we've been failing for years in talent acquisition and that we got rid of Belichick to hire someone on his coaching tree who coached under him. But there's far more to what's going on to account for the differences of the two teams right now.

Worthy is what Thornton should be doing for us.. excact same players... the WR curse lives on.

In 2035 Wolf is probably holding out for 2034: you know the saying better year early than a year late.
