i dont blame either. the pats have been in win now mode for 20 years. at some point late round picks and old vets you gotta pick up to try to have one more run catches up to you. brady still was in a position to win on a team that really wasnt. it was amazing what they did but the run with that model ended. i think its amazing that they went 7-9 with basically nobody and 12 months later appear to have a great roster. they "rebuilt" in almost no time at least to a team that looks like they could make a run. bill even said they gave up a lot over the years to make runs for super bowls and it paid off but that last year brady was there the team just didnt have it. brady went to a team that was a qb away but he left a team that was a lot of players away.
This is an excellent Patriot assessment.
Add the draft of Mac Jones to the free agency acquisitions and there is at least hope for the Pats in the near future.
It's gonna be tough because Buff and Miami have done a real nice job of building their teams and Mac Jones is no more than a hope dressed in the pixie dust of draft night. When the gold glitter blows away in the Foxboro fall let's see what we've got.
Billy B is still the best coach in the game. There's hope again in Patriot Nation.
meh I agree w/ Rodgers that was an awful pick...GB was in the midst of being a contending team when he did that.....When GB took Rodgers, they were pretty far removed from that and Favre did legitimately seem on the downside.
Looking that far to the future is dumb when you got a top QB.
They just never really seem to try to push the envelope while their window is open. Did nothing in FA this year either.
That division blows too, just such a good time to push chips in
