    That's just brutal.

  2. There's a good chance that EJ will develop into a better QB this year. Whether that translates into W's remains to be seen.

     

    As others have said Nick Foles & Russell Wilson were far from "sure fire" picks in 2012. They ended up with offensive geniuses for coaches and had time to develop, with Foles sitting the majority of 2012, and Wilson being asked to throw on average 24.5 times per game. In his 10 starts in 2013 EJ threw 30.6 times per game.

     

    As for EJ in 2013, it seems to me that EJ could be more effective if our defense can force more 3 and outs and give our offense better field position. I like the continued focus on developing a bigger OLine that can engulf defense's front 7's in the run game. Adding Watkins as a relief valve was huge, as will be the addition of Mike Williams who has more athleticism than Stevie Johnson.

  3. Odd. Just looked. Spikes is 26. He was the 2nd youngest lb of NE's core and few depth players. They are tremendously thin there

     

    Yeah turns 27 in Sept. I find it odd that they would jettison their Mike LB who is in the prime of his career. This could be more of personality clash with Belichick as rumors indicated they feuded off and on throughout his tenure in Cheatriots land.
