'Belichick + Mac Jones Marriage is Broken' - Greg Bedard w/ Felger & Mazz

Setting up a 60 yard drive only to have Mac throw a pick in the opponents 30 yard line. How many games this year has our defense had to see Mac throw interceptions that burry the team before there is even a chance.

Badard is the final boss of Mac apologists.

[@GammellNotCamel]

I'm not so sure drafting a QB is the right answer. For years, dating back to Brady, the problems on this offense have been protection and talent at the skill positions. You draft a new QB whose running for his life on every down with nowhere to go with the ball, how different is he going to look from Mac? I wonder if it would be better to focus on the O-line to protect the QB and make use of the RBs we have.

[@georgen5882]

That’s not a bad idea, but I just don’t think belichick can lead them into the next chapter with what they have or adding more pieces. I think addressing those issues is a great idea, but I think they need someone with a completely different football philosophy.

[@GammellNotCamel]

@@georgen5882 100% agree.

[@donywahlberg]

Dont think it's an unfair argument to say you don't have faith in Bill but the farther we get removed these Mac seasons the more sane this era is going to look. Mac has been at odds with the coaches and the direction of the team since preseason 2022 which has not helped Bill's ability to build the team correctly. I think a lot of fans would be surprised if you get a QB who buys in completely and backs it up on the field. That said that QB might not be in the draft, I agree with Ben. @@georgen5882

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

No time to get rid of Mac Jones, Baird I was a defender big time going into the season, but I am not anymore. There were so many plays where he had time and he still messed up. We need to draft a top five quarterback and rebuild with that position and definitely the line. Robert Kraft needs to open up his wallet this off-season just like the Celtics did and just like the Red Sox are about to do.

[@maggaman1603]

Jones doesn't have the speed or accuracy to be a champion, time to move on.

Brady seriously carried this franchise for 18 seasons. It’s unreal how ugly of an outfit they are with just Bill

[@AJ........]

That's actually not true. Brady was obviously great, but the team was a LOT more than him, especially the 1st 3 chips. Bill built amazing teams with tough players who didn't stand for nonsense in the locker room. The problem is this team has no guys like that...very few leaders, especially now that Mccourty is gone. The reality is Kraft has been bottom 5 in the league in spending since he cheaped out on Brady and that's the problem. Kraft isn't trying for chips anymore, he views it as a money making business only now, and it's as simple as money in, but as little out as possible. He wouldn't even give Brady a contract ffs

[@johnfinklestein6910]

Bill failed the team for at minimum 10 years with flopped draft picks. Even further back, 2011 had the worst corners. 2006 had no weapons. I mean in 2013 Bill drafted Dominque Easily with two torn ACLs. Yes it isn't just one guy but we've seen for a few seasons now how much Brady really covered up. It's rediculous how much we suck without him.

[@tylers9476]

[@EKHiggs]

Between recent draft picks and our latest free agent bonanza I think it is incredibly clear Bill should not be in charge of personnel. Period, full stop. This is certainly separate from him being one of if not the greatest coach of all time, and it would be great to see him break Shula's record on the patriots sidelines. But we cannot go on like this. I don't think the game has past Bill by but personnel management certainly has. Bill used to say you draft the player you want it doesn't matter what round. That may have worked before but his luck has run out. Examples include Cole Strange and Kyle Dugger , who are guys who could have been drafted 1-3 rounds later than where they drafted. Imagine having a different first round pick instead of strange and still getting him or basically another first round pick instead of Dugger getting him (we didnt even have a first round pick in 2020). Regardless of what we think of those guys, we could have them and then other surrounding players. Until someone gets it right we have to mention Nkeal Harry and how atrocious of a pick that was. You cannot miss like that. The offense CLEARLY needed improvement from last year, and our first offensive player taken in the draft was a center followed by a kicker in round FOUR. That is inexcusable. Free agency wise we hit on a few guys but have completely missed on others. Our WR room is in shambles, our OL room is JV. When you cant address those in the draft or hit on free agency it only compounds your problems more. Ill also note we should be paying guys that work for us. We have the money. The boomerang effect has always worked well for the Pats, but Imagine if we didnt let JC Jackson go. I'm glad he is back but had we just paid the man he would have been in our system full time the last two years, gotten better, and then we wouldn't need to burn a first rounder on Gonzales. This has nothing to do with Gonzales as a player, he looked promising, but we could have addressed other needs. Bottom line - we need a true GM to wheel and deal and not free ball it in the draft. If Bill cant agree to that I think you have to mutually part. The patriots compete for super bowls and now we are last in the AFC east for quite some time. Look at the last 3 years of the Eagles picks. They went from bottom of the barrel in their division to hitting every single year on picks and free agency and they were a few plays away from winning a super bowl last year. That could be us if we do this right

[@jackfeldman8684]

While it would suck to see the entire team quit (they basically already have) because we can really go 2 ways from here. There are teams who constantly find themselves drafting in the top 5-10 range every other year. Then there are teams who take advantage of being in a rare spot of drafting top 5 and capitalize on a special player. I really hope we can just keep losing, if they can be competitive that would be cool but not necessary. This team has 0 offensive talent and sadly I don't trust this GM to find elite talent later in the draft.

[@paulle7414]

Look like Bill is not doing his job or he is overwhelmed by the work and understaffed t to do it . Why not relinquish the GM duties if you are not capable ? You preached doing what’s best for the T-E-A-M with no “I” , well , DO that !!!!
