The Patriots Are A Trainwreck

The Patriots Are (Quietly) A Trainwreck. Quarterback Mac Jones isn't the answer. Bill Belichick may need to move on. Signup for Underdog Here: Promo play.underdogfantasy.com/that... Code: THATSGOOD

Bill Belichick has missed on too many skill player draft picks, specifically at wide receiver. Since Tom Brady departed, the Patriots have struggled to be a truly competitive franchise, and it may be time for the Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick divorce.

In the Brady vs Belichick debate I was always of the opinion that they both needed each other (which is probably true). When the Patriots, specifically Belichick, mistreated the GOAT, I sided with Brady. Brady left and won a Superbowl. Belichick was a sub 500 coach before Brady showed up and he's a sub 500 coach since Brady left.

[@iklo7476]

You can't have that level of success without giving everyone their flowers. It's also not a huge surprise that after losing someone as irreplaceable as the greatest quaterback(arguably football player) hasn't significantly regressed them. That's something that would cause any franchise to need some time to recover. The question is as great as bellicheck is, can he rebuild a franchise. It seems so far that answer is no. He might need to go before they get successful again.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

For the first three titles, the argument that they both needed each other was true. For the second three, Brady was by far the biggest cornerstone

@@otaviofrn_adv Your comment shows exact how clueless Pats fans are. in 2001, Belichick's defense was supposed to carry 80-90% of the load, but Pats needed Brady's offense to get first round bye (3 comeback wins), needed Brady to save the team from own 3 yard line in SB, to deliver winning drive in SB. *Brady had to carry far far far more of the loads for Pats than he was supposed to* with the squad given by BeliCHEAP. In 2003 (5 comeback wins), Belichick's defense didn't even carry 50% of the load. His good stats came from games against lousy offenses, like last 3 seasons.

[@Machva]

Its a strange feeling. The Pats got their 1st super bowl when I was in the first grade. I lived a half hour south of Gillette stadium so it was very much a local pride thing. The next 20 years of success really shaped my perspective. My dad dealt with a bad team, a bad stadium and some of the most violent crowds. Now I'm watching a Pats team a lot like the ones he did. I've got to think about the silver linings. Tickets will be cheaper now that they aren't a wagon and I get to be their to cheer on their comeback... however long that takes.

The problem with the patriot is their Oline. Mac jones played all fine and well his first year. His second year they gave him a DC has an OC, then this year their OL goated coach retired. That carousel of O-line protection is abysmal. For some reason they are willingly paying trent brown good money when he has been their biggest crutch since his signing. Is Mac good this year?

Pats fan here after getting destroyed by the Saints. This season is done. I was hopeful with the good defensive play early, but Judon and Gonzo both out for the year is a significant blow. The single biggest problem with this team right now is the offensive line. We can't run the ball because the OLine can't block, and we're constantly getting in 3rd and 6 - 8. They know we're gonna pass on those downs, and the OLine can't buy Mac enough time to throw. We haven't had the same starting OLine take the field at all this season. Lastly, the receivers can't get seperation. We look like a dumpster fire.

I’m a pats fan and I like Mac Jones. We need a stud at WR. Look at Hurts, they got him AJ brown and Devonte Smith took a step forward and Hurts is elite now. We need to surround Mac with talent

[@kaitlyngarner740]

Talent and give him a wall that won't force him to throw the ball in under 2 seconds on average. Remember how bad Fields was and yet had like 5-7 seconds on average to throw. Give mac that amount of time and a receiver that can actually get separation most of the time (or at least distract the secondary away from the other receivers) and you'd start seeing much more production. Look at brock purdy (love him btw). He's surrounded by weapons and has arguably the best and most versatile RB in the league and superstars on the the OL and he's lighting it up. As a QB, he has good IQ and fundamentals, just like Mac had in his rookie season. Give an average to decent QB a great offense to work with and they'll do great and improve to the point you don't need as many superstars around them. Give them crap and then you end up being the new Jets

[@coruscant100]

I've often said this to a couple friends who are Patriots fans and it holds true; When you lose the game's greatest quarterback, the only route to go is down and fast. Rebuilding a champion is difficult; especially when you've had success for nearly 20 years. New England could've benefited more had they rebuilt sooner. They could've addressed more needs that needed to be dealt with in the draft or free agency much better than what they did. What they did though was fail to find a proper successor to Tom Brady. They never thought of a future without TB12, and it's come back to haunt them.

[@storms13]

Very true. I’m a pats fan, and it is wild to think how successful we were for so long. Especially considering that, on average, every team will win just one Super Bowl every 32 years

[@davismiller3769]

Honestly, pats fan here - this was coming. You're right, we had our time on top. I'm not even mad (at other fans who are happy for this). It's really clear to me that Mac isn't it. The WR corps aren't bad. Mac is making them look bad. I swear, every film breakdown I see is just full of Mac jones missing opportunities with WRs who are supposed to be his reads and who are wide open - not absolutely nobody within 10 yards, but NFL open. He looks like week 1 Justin Fields. Can he make some anticipation throws fields can't? Sure. But he also makes some boneheaded choices that make his weaknesses (immobility and poor arm strength) MUCH worse. It's not like CJ Stroud is out here throwing to AJ Brown and Davante Adams either - other QBs with worse weapons and line situations look better than Mac. You know who's *really* suffering from poor line play? Bryce Young. And even that won't be an excuse for him in a few years. Mac has never once had it that bad. I'm so sick of the excuses for him. If Brady had these guys he'd go wild - of course. But hell, I'd much rather have Jimmy G or even Tannehill than Mac in a vacuum. Really though, we need to tank this season. We've got young pieces on defense worth keeping - Dugger, Gonzales, maybe JC Jackson, Barmore - and need to sell off or let go our big free agent adds. Henry, Gesecki, Schuster, Parker, Zeke, Judon, Mills - all of them should not be re-signed and should be traded for picks if they have any value. Let Mac walk. Zappe isn't it but he's cheap and a fair bridge QB. Maybe Jimmy G if you'd like to try and be semi-relevant, especially if you're trying to see how good drafted WRs are. Oh, and take the draft away from Bill, please.

[@warlordofbritannia]

Mac’s problem is that when the team is losing or even has been put on the back foot, his ability to make smart decisions deteriorates dramatically. I think 2022 broke him, at least in New England.

@@tylerd1297 He's... alright. Some of his play designs have horrific spacing and I don't love them. Some of them don't seem to make a ton of sense.

[@cjs750]

Yeah, Mac Jones isn't playing for Alabama anymore. Hell, I bet his Alabama squad would give this sorry excuse of Patriots a run for its money. And that rests ENTIRELY on the shoulders of general manager Bill Belichick. His strategic planning, personnel (drafting, free agency, and contract extension), and staffing decisions over the last 5 years have been mind-bogglingly poor. That's why the team has regressed to the laughingstock status it enjoyed in the early 90s before Bill Parcells was brought in to overhaul the mess. I think, as he showed in college, Mac Jones (weak arm and all) could be a solid contributor on NFL team with good talent around him. That won't be the situation in New England for at least several years. And, especially given his physical limitation, he's just not a guy who can put a sub-par team on his back and carry it to victory like Brady could. I thought back on watching the early 70s Dolphins of Shula/Griese/Csonka as a kid and not being especially impressed by Griese. The team had outstanding overall talent though. I suspect Mac Jones could have done quite well quarterbacking those teams. On a team like the 2023 Patriots, success would be avoiding hospitalization.

Only took 20 years of torture for us to say "We're better", and it's like the 90s again where the Dolphins and Bills are powerhouses where the Patriots just wait in the corner. So happy, go Bills!

[@jgasparmiswiredke]

As a Pats fan, I don't see things turning around soon unless two things happen; Bill stepping down as GM and us getting a competent QB. I think a lot of us thought that Mac Jones would be a Brady esque player in the sense that he could make smart decisions and get the ball out quickly, but that quickly turned out to be false. Our only bright spot ever since Brady left is the fact that we could rely on our defense to keep us in games until our offense figured out how to get things going, but as we've seen a lot (Jets, Steelers, Commanders, Broncos) an elite defense can only mask the stench of a bad offense for so long before others smell it. And boy does our offense stink. I don't think the rebuild will be as painful as people think, and ironically, being in the AFC, and more importantly, the AFC East could give us some high picks in which to put towards making a solid offense. But for now, all we can do is watch and embrace the suckage.

There were plenty of times the Pats won and saved Tom from a loss because of their defense.
