True, however the hope is other teams start jockeying around the board and we stay at 3. Will that actually happen?My problem with drafting like that is every other team knows that’s what we want to do and will jump in front of us at every opportunity
Well.. the trajectory was going upward 3 seasons ago, the QB play deterioration, the bad coaching decisions, the product on the field was so bad offensively pretty hard to be patient if you're a fan when you are used to seeing great QB play and great coaching. We had neither! Ownership works for the paying customers.!No patience at all the last 3 years. Like bratty children clamoring for what they had before.
Who's the quarterback?I just dont see a last place schedule here.
I think next year could be a dumpster fire. Without an OC hire at this point a Mac and McDaniels reunion with some better receivers ( who will have to be able to pick up the EP system quickly) may be the best we can do offensively.
Did you know that the last HC possession wasn't filled until Valentines day last year? I know as a fanbase we haven't gone through this in a long time, but hiring people takes time.
Dont talk about Corky like that.Who's the quarterback?
If it's Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe that's a 5 win schedule, until we get a serious quarterback upgrade when you have the worst quarterback in the Division you're in trouble.
No it wasn't. You bought some fools gold. That was an old defense, literally six 30+ year old starters on D. All gone now. The same basic problems at WR, the same OL actually except for Cole Strange and Sidy Sow. They had Wynn and Trent Brown. Basically the same offense, plus Jakobi (who BB wanted) and a rookie QB who hadn't been scouted yet. That team was going nowhere, the defense couldn't force a punt. The offense had horrible Mac at its helm.Well.. the trajectory was going upward 3 seasons ago, the QB play deterioration, the bad coaching decisions, the product on the field was so bad offensively pretty hard to be patient if you're a fan when you are used to seeing great QB play and great coaching.

I like your ideas I would change and draft the QB in 2024 then keep or trade in 2025 instead of waiting until 2025 to draft one if needed. good jobI think this might be the quickest path to relevancy.
Resign onwenu, Henry , P brown
In FA overpay for Tee Higgins and T Smith
Draft MHJ in r1 and trade up to late 20s to get the best remaining OT as swing tackle.
Trade / cut Parker and JuJu.
And have a OC who will be here for at least 2 more years .
If Mac stinks draft a qb in 2025 or 2026. At least you will have a decent team to start off with in 2025.
If we sign daniels and he stinks we need to draft a wr1 and a qb1 again.
If pittman / higgins don't sign here we are In a pretty tough spot . Then we need to sign Bourne and hope teams double teaming MHJ will lead to bourne becoming a very good wr 2 / 1 .5
After Patriots President/AGM Jonathan's approval.GM Bob is keeping him and building around the Bama Kid.
I see your point, however we made the playoffs 3 seasons ago. 3 seasons later we have a new coach! That is all you have to see!!!No it wasn't. You bought some fools gold.

If Ownership listens to the cries and clamoring of the paying customers, it will lose for an eternity. You need a real plan to win. As for years of getting used to seeing Tom Brady, that's exactly what I'm talking about. To misquote the basketball people, "Tom Brady isn't coming through that door." People got so used to the winning that they blew up a rebuild in the middle of it
I'm afraid I have to disagree also; I said it sacasticticlyMac Jones at QB the Pats will be in the playoffs in season two.
And we rinse and repeat and do it again and again and again. That's how other teams who don't have patience do it.I see your point, however we made the playoffs 3 seasons ago. 3 seasons later we have a new coach! That is all you have to see!!!
Let's see.
If they bring in Tannehill they might make a WC spot next season.
If they don't get one of the top 3 QB's and settle for Nix or someone else, they can forget the playoffs for the foreseeable future.
Tannehill and QB at 3 leads to a possible WC
Tannehill and a QB at 10 leads to no playoffs for the foreseeable future.
Got it!
Whether it’s Williams, Maye, or Daniels this is the best opportunity to get a really good young QB that the Patriots are going to have for quite a while, and they need to take it
Try to get to at least league average on offense and ST year 1
