Black Monday Comes Early in New England

Seems like he was fired bc they won today and missed out on the first overall pic.  Wonder if he was told to loose and refused.   

I don't think so. The team was complete ass and unmotivated all season.

I watched 3 Pats games this year for betting purposes. They checked out after the first 1-2 series everytime.

I will make another bet. Johnson will stay in Detroit.

I think it's going to be hard for him to turn down the chance to have Maye or Lawrence as his QB, but I absolutely could see him looking ahead and hoping whoever gets the #1 pick next year also fires their HC and he can get Manning.

I'd think he'd want Caleb too, but not sure he wants to deal with the Bears organization in such a tough division.

Both of those situations are with dumpster fire organizations. Same reason he didn't come here.

I assume you mean Bears and Jags, as the Patriots are anything but that.

The Jags have a lot of great offensive weapons though, far better than what we were offering up the last 2 years when we were hiring coaches.  I think when you look at Lawrence, Thomas, Etienne, and Bigsby, that situation would look mighty appealing to someone like Johnson who would look at that as his Goff, St Brown, Gibbs, Montgomery to work with.

Then combine it with their currently weak division and I think it's actually a pretty good opening for a good offensive coach to step into and do well in right away.

No, I mean the Pats and Jags. The Pats are indeed a dumpster fire. That's the second least talented roster in the NFL and it's been years of work getting it there. Make no mistake, that organization is bad.

Having a bad roster is not having a dumpster fire of an organization.  Yes of course Brady/BB had the most to do with it, but they still have 6 SB's and not too far removed from them.  They have/had trouble getting out of the BB regime, which isn't abnormal given how much he had control there, but I wouldn't put them in the same category as many of the poorly run franchises.

They also have a ton of cap room and a really good looking rookie QB.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
