Day to Day
I get almost nauseous when the Patriots host an outstanding player, and he walks away and signs somewhere else. It gets worse when the Patriots have the money and for some reason can't close the deal. Then I get really pissed off when the player tweets or makes a remark that the Patriots wouldn't cough up a million or two moire over three years. It's been getting progressively worse over the past three years. So far this year we've seen Fournette, Elliot, Dhop and a couple of others have stopped by and gone away.
Maybe, just maybe, it's time to hand the wallet and player decision making over to someone else like Matt Groh. If Bill can't move into the 2020's and accept that players today are not going to accept a discount to play for him, he's sadly mistaken. He doesn't have the Golden Fleece of Tom Brady to attract players and the team hasn't performed well enough to get their attention. In free agency, players don't start looking to New England until they've exhausted trying to catch on with a real solid contender.
What happens if Mac shits the bed? A lot of you have zero faith in Zappe and McSorely, just plain sucks. He's fodder at the very most and Bill won't sign a decent body to replace him. If a QB over three days is 9/34 without any friggin defense attacking him, it's time to cut the cord.
We've all admitted that every team is a knee injury away from Football Hell. Why start the season in Purgatory.
Then again, BB is making $27M this year. Why is he having such a problem paying a player $13M or $16M??
