What are the chances the Patriots season floats from the "Splash" trade?
Cousin Lancerman, only a 49% chance that the Holy Three get to their second contract. Rather fill holes with blue chippers and take a QB later like Rattler who might have the best arm. Too many holes to wish and hope we get the next Mahomes or Burrow. Watch the tape. None are ready to start day one.. The only one NFL ready might be McCarthy and I am not sold.Fields sucks. Draft a QB. Would be a franchise set back to invest in Fields and pass up a QB in the top 3
sign me up. Of course, Nix will be drafted much, much earlierI'd rather see them take MHJ at 3 and Nix or Penix with 34.
Mix could last to 34 but I’d prefer Fields over Nix.sign me up. Of course, Nix will be drafted much, much earlier
OK Cousin, I'll bite,
Speaking of that, had a great Sunday breakfast of a veggie, American cheese omelet cooked just right, with smoke sausage links and brioche toast. Topped that off with dark chocolate cocoa and a mini apple fruit pastry bite.
Let's assume the Fields "stinks" according to your summation. I am by no means a fanboy of Fields but watched a lot of his "good" tape. He has NFL tape and the holy three ....do not. Fields is only twenty five years old. He ain't perfect but seems to be going in the right direction. Watch his tape. He is not a finished product but neither are the other three. We have a year to decide if Fields can preserve Mayo's head coaching job.
I have seen the tape on Williams, Daniels and Maye....... College tape. All three are very raw. Williams throws passes he would not get away with in the NFL. He's also under 6'. Daniels is skinny Joshua Dobbs who had two world class WR at LSU. (was it he or them that brought success?) and Maye regressed this last year and has some accuracy issues.
So hence if we align them up versus college tape and hope that we get a Stroud and not Bryce Young whom the Panthers can be still hurting from in five years unless he has a miraculous turn around..........Would you give a fourth rounder for Bryce Young right now>? Talk about a Mac Jones fire sale. I might prefer Zach Wilson over Young right now......yikes!
I see more value on MHJ and trading for Fields or trading down to fill the way-too-many holes we also have that one mediocre over hyper college QB will do for the franchise day one.
Cousin, Here is the question: Do you want to be competitive in 2024 or hope to develop a raw kids over what I see, the next three years. I don't know about you but I want to at least be competitive in 2024.
The Bears scored 360 points in 2023 and won five of their last home games. The Pats scored 236 and were 1-6 at home. Yep, Fields won more that twice as many games as the Pats did. So sucks? Maybe.
Do we push all of our chips in the middle for what I say is an over hyped QB class or do we go to work and fill holes with a solid build and have the QB issue solved through trade or FA? Your call.......And that is o be respected.
Hate Fields? I have mentioned this before. Do we take Russell Wilson who won twice as many games as the Pats and yet on paper, the Teams were about the same. Wilson had decent 2023 numbers but he is not on the same channel as Payton. They would pay some of his salary. Do we swap the picks at their#12 for our #3 if they add Jerry Juedy (one year rental) who had more yards than any of our WR plus only 25 and LT Garret Boles who is under his last year but only 31 and a 2nd rounder in 2025? The Broncos want out of that contract.
Russell can still move as he had almost 275 yards on the ground. He would be a superb GAP QB if we opted for a Spemcer Rattler or a Penix in later rounds.
Russ in 15 games
Would we take those numbers from any QB in 2024?
66.4 completion 3,070 Yards 26 TDs 8 INT 98.0 QB Rating
Then we can get a top WR or OT at picks #12.
This is just one blueprint I can see for 2024 but Fields would still be my choice.

He has the longest avg time-to-release in the NFL…3.3 seconds. Doesn’t scream “smart processor” to me. Plus he quit on competing at GA so screw him lol.
Enough already. We all saw last season and they weren't really in most of those one score games. They had 8 one score losses out of 13 because they had a good to great defense and a historically poor offense. Either that or the mediots were on to something when they claimed that Bill was managing the losses.Watched every game, we won 4 of them, lost 8 (I think) by one score.
If you think that was rock bottom look back at the '93 '94 seasons, or Detroit 08 09 (2-30) or Browns '16 17 (1-31). We can go winless next season and not be the lowest rock bottom the NFL has season in the last decade.
Thank goodness you’re not the general manager, dangling 34 for a guy who just went for a 2025 6th rounder. Move along, cowboy. Turnabout is fair play.IF Fields is available for 34 we should be on it.
Add this to the "Bert Breer talking out of his ass again" pile.
Next week or post combine is the time. Take a chance with Justin, Mac as backup, Marvin Harrison as playmaker.
2nd rounder will do it.
