Matt Rhule would be calling them up offering our 1st rd pick.

That thought crossed my mind

i've been kind of wondering why they have a defensive coach as the OC as well.

it's like they want to pretend that there isn't an offense after losing brady.

i mean i don't want us chasing after mac even if he's better than anyone we've got on the roster. kid is a punk and not the talented kind that makes it ok.

but he's not wrong. belichick is doing some nutty things recently with that team.

Belichick seems to subscribe to the old Jerry Richardson notion that if they were good at one thing, they'll be equally good at another.

Never really been a big fan of that idea...

They are a top 4ish team now in the AFC.  They are doing something right

Wouldnt the Pats have a massive penalty in trading Mac Jones this early in his contract? I feel like I read something that its really tough to trade a player during his first 2 years of his rookie 1st round contract.

Did not think about that  

[PantherFanInPhilly]

Please god don't let the Panthers get any bright ideas.

they dont have the capital even if they wanted to.  Plus thats a lot of money on QBs on that roster.

[Waldo]

Jones is incredibly limited. Do not want and I love to see it but he isn't even the best QB up there now. Anyone that says we should go get him obviously didn't learn anything the last 3 years.

Is that still true next year though?

[Jon Snow]

Hell no to Jones.  No more f*cking qb rejects.

100%  but if Rhule had drafted him he still would have a job. 

[DaveThePanther2008]

How quickly Jones fell.  After last season he looked to be the best QB in that draft class now it appears he might not have a job when he returns to the field.

The same can be said for all of the other QBs from the “vaunted” 2021 QB class. I’m very down on things but the one thing they got right was passing on Fields & Jones and not selling the farm for Wilson or Lance. At this time - I’m not sold on Young (size, frame) or Stroud (Ohio State QBs don’t translate as they cannot read the field) for 2023.
