Yeah, Mac doesn't look great, but he fits the Patriot system to a tee.

Might be heresy to say, but on any other team, with any other coach, Tom Brady might have never amounted to more than a footnote. 

I agree on Brady, people feel justified calling him the GOAT and ignoring Belichick by him winning with a stacked Bucs team last year but to anyone looking at it objectively, Belichick is one of the greatest football minds of all time and can have success with his systems without all-time great QB play. I mean Brady has never in his career done things to carry his team like guys like Rodgers, Mahomes, Manning have. He fit Belichick's system perfectly and did exactly what Belichick said his entire career and had that success largely because of the consistent greatness he had around him. I've said it before and I still believe it -- you could put a guy like Tony Romo or Philip Rivers on those Pats teams under Belichick and they easily have nearly the same # of championships. Brady is great at what he does within those systems but he's never proven to elevate a bad team to contender like some others have done. Mac Jones could very have plenty of success under Belichick, doesn't make him a great QB. We really just need the cheater to retire soon.

Just now, Jackie Lee said:

If Darnold losing to the Giants/Eagles/Vikings keeps us out of the playoffs they have to straight up cut him

If not playing Elflein at C from the get go led to us losing to the Giants, Eagles and Vikings they should fire the OLine Coach.

Matty sitting the rest of the game.

You don't have the unrivaled success Brady has had for 20+ years by just being on stacked teams.

He's an absurd player. End of story.

Rosen still playing in this league gives me hope we can unload Sam.  Still doubt it though.  Rosen is hilariously bad

Clearly Brady is a very intelligent QB, but put him on some of the Panthers or Lions teams instead of the BB coached Patriots and he may have never lasted long enough to become the player we know today.
