If you finished the sentence, I said...: "Reasons."
I think it had a lot less to do with money and a lot more to do with Bill being loyal to two former assistants who were fired elsewhere. He wanted to see them succeed and get new chances elsewhere. It was definitely a mistake.
Job 1 is to put a winning team on the field. Hard not to think that BB is washed.
This is incredible. And not in a good way
That was fun... Just hoping if Bill can do the same to the other team he dislikes, the Cowboys. Now that would be real fun.
Undefeated against the Jets.
Turns out those "stats" weren't even accurate. Just a made up tweet.
They are 20th in EPA D. It is not a great D by any means.
Awful today. The whole team looked awful.
They honestly nailed the first three rounds of picks this year, aside from not getting OL help. There's a massive problem with the run game. The OL is just getting dominated. Mac isn't the main problem, nor are the RBs or WRs. Those could be better but something is seriously wrong with the schemes.
Agreed. He was pretty good until last Sunday. The pressure rate on Sunday was insane, and yet we couldn't run the ball. If they want to move on, fine. I wanted a mobile QB, but honestly, all of the QBs from the first round of that draft except Lawrence are worse than Mac. My biggest complaint with Mac is that he doesn't put enough on the ball and doesn't seem to realize how quickly defenders close on a slow, lofted ball. That works great at Bama where Waddle and others were wide open. In the NFL has to rip those throws. Either he can't step in b/c pressure or he doesn't have the arm strength. Brady didn't have a cannon on deep balls, he lofted them, but he could make short and intermediate throws on a line. Mac is lofting screen passes.
Just for conversation, as an outsider that admittedly hates the Patriots.
I mean, @HuskyHawk writes fan fiction for the Pats. No one doesn't think Mac is a problem. Or the WRs. Or the RB who is near the bottom of the league in yards after contact. He will soon come and say how great of a move getting JC Jackson is. I mean the praise of the JuJu signing and drafting a kicker in round 4 was good comedy during a quite spring/summer.
Good line as well as accurate. Mac sucks and needs to shut his piehole.
They never really thought Stidham could be the starter. They hoped Cam might rekindle his magic. He was a one year stop-gap to let them draft a guy the next year if Cam couldn't revive his career. He couldn't, so they drafted a guy. Has this gone well? No. But the team was really old when Brady moved on and they needed to rebuild anyway. They mostly did that on defense (replacing almost everyone), but not offense.

Mac is certainly part of the problem, maybe a big part. But no QB in the league would succeed behind that line and with that offensive cast and system. Is he failed at this point? Not yet. But he's using up what rope he has.
Short memories, but they said this about Tua and Hurts as well.
The Miami Dolphins have a dilemma: Help Tua or draft his replacement? | FOX Sports
The Dolphins sit high in a QB-rich draft, which leads to a dilemma: Do they get help for Tua or draft his replacement?
They promised Brady in his last extension that they wouldn't tag him. He wanted to try playing elsewhere. They waited because there was nobody out there. I admit, that's a failure. But like I said, the roster sucked from years of trying to win. It was a really old, slow team with little cap space. So that was our tank year and Cam was cheap.
