Do not leave NE out of the equation......not every team has a QB willing to give money back.

 

NE has been one of the worst drafting teams I have ever seen for the past 10 years or so.  Absolutely atrocious.  They are successful because of a brilliant coach who will do what it takes to win, the winning culture that has followed that, and a QB that eventually turned into one of the best in the game (though they haven't won a SB since he has risen above game manager).  I dare say the Raiders' drafting wouldn't look so bad put against the Patriots'.

The Patriots do fine in the draft cause they get a ton of picks every year. They have a lot of busts, but they still get a few quality starters every year because they get so many picks.

They have missed more then hit on draft picks. But they do kill it in FA..

Most teams do. 

 

Again the Patriots get a lot of picks so that they can whiff on a lot of picks.

 

Say what you will, but NE drafted 8 of 11 of their Offensive starters and 7 of their 11 Defensive starters. That's basically 70% of their roster they drafted themselves.

 

You could make an argument they could have done more with all the picks they had, but the Patriots get much more than the average NFL squad out of the draft in the end.

Meaning can Gettelmen be like those GM'S. Make the playoffs every year but still able to get players out of later round picks..

His last draft he got KB at 28th picked and was still able to get 4 starters and 1 contributor with later picks in each round..

Is he good enough as a talent evaluators to be a Ted Thompson Ozzie Newsome type??

 

Ummm.... I believe so. I mean DG was once of the best scouts in the league before he became our GM. DG did help put together some winning SB teams in the past. That includes the NYGs. Who won 2 SBs with Eli at QB. lol I think DG can get it done with no problem. :)

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
