NFL: Pats relationship with Mac Jones "gone sideways"

It's so dumb.  Ohio State had Haskins who was a one year wonder and some mental issues and Fields who is in a terrible situation.  There has only been 4 total drafted in the first round one in 1941 (died in war before he even played), one in 1983 and then Haskins and Fields.  People are asking like OSU QBs taken in the first and busting happen all the time.  Not to mention judging a player by his school is just nonsense.

>be qb
>get selected by the bears in the first round
>immediately die in action

From Albert Breer...

Now, the thought of trading for Jones is probably gonna cross someone's mind after hearing this, even if only for a moment.

I don't know that it should.

Why? Because what the Pats would ask is likely more than I'd actually believe he's worth.

Either way, when things are going "sideways" up in Patriot Land, it's always good for a chuckle 😄

I said I wanted Bailey Zappe over anyone else in the 2022 NFL Draft as far as QB's we're concerned. The dude threw for 63 touchdowns in FBS in one season. He torched App State (sadly) and Michigan State with his comparatively poor supporting cast.

Now look at him. I also wanted Parsons over Horn. I wanted the Alabama tackle over Ickey. 

I hate being RIGHT GOD DAMNIT.

We don't want Mac Jones. History doesn't repeat but it often rhymes. 

Drew Bledsoe was traded to the Bills after being replaced by Brady. Was there for 3 forgettable years which he obviously hated, always whining and complaining. Went to Dallas, was average at best, and retired in 2007 when replaced with Romo. Teams should pay attention to Belichick when it comes to QBs.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
