Good QBs can do that, and it really opens up an offense. Don't get me wrong; NE's run game is probably going to be elite so they're going to be a tough out. That's not what he will be asked to do and it's not the patriots offense. And you missed the throw he made to Harry on a 3rd and long plus Brady made a career out of doing the opposite here.

LabattBlue Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hopefully this clown is out of the league for good. No team would want him as a mentor to a young QB, and I don’t think he is taking a $1-2mil contract to chase a ring as a backup QB. IMO...I’m not even sure a ring is that important to him. Goodbye and good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceman_16 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I wish they kept him. He looked so pathetically bad last year it ALMOST made me feel bad for the Pats** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It being not in the offense is the point. Teams wont have to guard against it and can throw more peeps in the middle to stop those throws. Thats where he seems to be doing damage in the preseason. It might not be the first half of the season but it will get taken away eventually. Thats when well see if Mac will be any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 3 minutes ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: Yeah, I'm not suggesting he doesn't usually ultimately win the game, but he hasn't chewed them up and spit them out like some defensive gurus have a reputation for doing to rookie QBs. Do you not remember Tua last year in a must win game completely crap the bed against the Bills back ups? In 2019, we faced two rookie QB's they scored 10 and 3 against us. So basically in the last 5 starts against rookie QB's....here's how much they scored. 26 but with a ton of garbage time points from the Dolphins since we scored 56. 17 against the Chargers. 10 against the Steelers 3 against the Broncos 9 against the Redskins What else can McDermott do? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the game simple for the rookie. IMO He built his offense to do exactly what Buffalo is not strong defending. A versatile run game, and passing to TEs. He brought in two above average TEs, and Buffalo was abysmal covering TEs last year. Expect a lot of 2 TE sets with a lot of RB motion to take advantage of the Bills defensive weaknesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have also given more headaches to the best run offense in the league (Ravens) than any one else. I think Pats will be too one dimensional for their run game to be effective.

Let’s not forget we saw him mostly with the 2nd and 3rd string WR and TE. (He got very little times with the 1st string) He also suffered from a lot of drops on long throws and short alike, for example Gunner dropped a pass that ANY of the WR in Alabama would have caught last year and brought to the house… Gunner is not a starter.. lol (so in other words we really don’t know what he can do with the 1st string talent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what a lot of teams are going to do to the Bills and Frazier's defense this year until they prove they can stop it.....run the ball up the middle and hit us with the dink and dunk passing game to run clock and keep Allen off the field. This is why I worry about the Steelers game in particular because it's opening day and that's going to be their MO this year as well assuming they can run the ball effectively again like years past. Also why I still think DT is still a sneaky need and there's way too much misplaced faith in Star L. having any real impact on the run defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 29 minutes ago, JohnBonhamRocks said: Roethlisberger (Week 1 before his arm dies) is the only other who had anything resembling real sustained success in the league. Otherwise: Fitzpatrick, Winston, Taylor, Z. Wilson (x2), Wentz (?), Lawrence, Tua (x2), Mac (x2) Fitzpatrick can beat this defense on any given Sunday. I was in the stadium when his Dolphins offense tore the Bills defense up in 2019. Those other 10 games, though? Well....Not one of those guys scare me.

Success Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'm freaked about about Mac. Anything less than the Patriots going through a 2-decade search for a Brady replacement is unacceptable to me. My worst fear is a Montana/Young situation. But, I was also freaked out about Garropolo and Stidham. So, there's that. There are definitely a ton of guys who looked amazing in the preseason against vanilla, 2nd string D's, then folded when it was a real game. Here's hoping Jones is one of those.

That is the problem people continue to think brady brady brady....they are not looking to replicated Brady success their philosophy has always been this way. They draft with this offense in mind, they look for a certain receiver to run routes a certain way, it all goes as one. They aren't doing this because it worked for Brady. THis is how they like to play and hence why they go out and grab up two TEs. They aren't an offense that wants to rely heavily on receiver's. 8 minutes ago, PatsFanNH said: Stidham will be the backup when healthy. He is the better option than Hoyer I doubt that is the outcome, BB is not high on Stidham in anyway and there hasn't been any discuss about Stidham since his injury.

Don’t know your age Pats Fan, but every fanbase should at least taste QB purgatory for several years in order to really appreciate when you’ve got something special going—you’re due for the former, is all I’m saying.

However I still see a huge windup to get the ball to the middle of the field. Processing seems to the be key to me. If he can be elite in that space he has a chance to be a good QB. Unfortunately you dont really get a good test of that in the preseason. 1 minute ago, Ghost_002! said: That is the problem people continue to think brady brady brady....they are not looking to replicated Brady success their philosophy has always been this way.

You were the one who mentioned Brady so I thought I would sort out the part about Brady being special. Yes youre right this is their offense; however, you also don't see many high octane running offenses. The exception is Lamar who does similar things in the passing game (albeit in a less accurate way), but without his speed I dont know that yall will generate enough points.
