turftoe Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Mike Lombardi, a Bill Belichick disciple, has taken to the airwaves calling Tua brittle and not a top QB. Could the evil empire and Darth Belichick have anything to do with this? Lombardi seems a bit defensive when asked that question. Peter King, who follows the Patriots closely predicts that Tua will drop into the range that NE trades up for him. Lombardi King 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I find the notion laughable, frankly. Laughable that Peter King would try to influence the draft in some way and laughable that any NFL GM’s draft day decision making would actually be influenced by two journalists. I DO think Tua May fall and I DO think the Pats may draft him, but neither possibility has anything to do with King or Lombardi. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter King, who follows the Patriots closely predicts that Tua will drop into the range that NE trades up for him. Lombardi King My very first thought upon reading Mike Lombardi’s Tweet was exactly that. Notable thing to consider here: - He has been an amoral, back stabbing liar his whole career in football. I’ve only known him to tell the truth when it suits him and he’s working an angle or trying to prop himself up. - He has recently (and maybe currently?) worked for BB as a consultant. - His son is currently on BB’s staff. So, yeah, Lombardi is putting out BS to help BB get his QB. Also I can say for a fact that the Patriots are actively trying to find a trade partner to move up into the top 10.

Buddo Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Lombardi could very well be spreading stuff on behalf of Belichek. Way too many connections going back, for that not to be a possibility. Peter King - highly unlikely. Tua does qualify as 'fragile' with his injury history, but they haven't exactly been the sorts of minor sprains, aches and pains that keep someone out of games. Fragile he may be, but it would seem he's got the right 'tough' attitude to how they've occurred, in that it's because he plays football, and not tiddleywinks. Now, is he 'injury prone'? That might be a different argument. Certainly if I was thinking of drafting him, I'd be looking very closely at how he has been injured, and his subsequent recovery(s).

Ya Digg?

King is a good journalist and isn't doing BB's leg work. I don't question his integrity. He is mocking Tua to the Patriots and at the same time pointing out Tua's flaws. Maybe it's wishful thinking on his part so that his prediction comes true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember hearing any issues of his intelligence once he became the starter. I’d be more worried about his injuries. and Kelly isn’t smart but football intelligence is so different.

K-9 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 There is no way possible that Mike Lombardi, Peter King, or any other media pundit can downgrade or upgrade any prospect in the eyes of any team.

He was also one of the few guys who had lamar Jackson over all the other first round qbs in 2018. People do value his opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lombardi is simply not privy to the thousands of man hours invested in the scouting process over the last year. Regardless of his previous NFL experience, If any current GM or other personnel evaluator takes his word on a prospect over their own hard work and due diligence, then those teams are in world of idiocy.
