As noted in a link within the article, Mac’s end run efforts outside the building to talk to Alabama staff about how to properly run the O system Patricia was struggling to implement, was a source of significant tension with Belichick—this is all fantastic stuff!! 😂

Hard to blame him for that. Making Patricia OC would get  any other HC fired

Yup. Mac had a decent rookie year and then they gave him a former failed HC/DC to be his OC and failed ST coach to be his QB coach. Really?

True but Mac had like 5 good games his rookie year and was pretty crappy for the rest. He has no upside and was a product of the players around him at Bama. Belichick is awful at evaluating offensive players.

Oh I'm not saying Mac is a dude to build around, but they gave him no chance and wasted his 2nd season IMO. There was enough to build on for him to be a point guard of sorts.

Any idea what's their solution at QB if they get rid of Jones? Bailey Zappe? Or did I miss something?

 

Probably drafting one in the late 6th Round.  LOL  Luck seems to be Belichicks formula for winning.  

 

And why not, Belichick's 17th average ranking in Points Scored, and 19th average ranking in Yardage Offense, which includes a season with Cassel at QB and Welker and Moss as WRs, Watson at TE, and two fantastic receiving RBs, aka rankings which are incredibly average if not mediocre, without Brady as his QB reveals what a great offensive mind he has.  

 

I absolutely love watching Belichick flounder!  I hope he coaches 10 more years and never advances to the playoffs again.  The longer it goes the more that that narcissistic self-righteous egomaniac is going to try prove that he really is something without a QB that's in the running for the GOAT.  

 

It's a tale of two coaches, one with Brady, excellent, and one without Brady, absolutely horrible;  10 seasons and 2 games, only two playoff appearances, both times as a wild-card, going 1-2 and only winning in the wild-card round, while getting outscored on 30-14 average.  

 

Otherwise, a 77-87 record otherwise.  

 

But I'm sure, Brady and Belichick contributed equally.  LOL  

 

He's finished.  Every season that he continues to coach adds to the mainstream narrative that he was only good because of Brady.  I actually don't look forward to Kraft's firing of Belichick, which I'm sure won't be a "firing" on paper, presumably at least.  Maybe Belichick's ego is just that big, that he'll force Kraft to fire him.  Should be interesting to be sure.

Honestly, it's difficult to say since Belichick sucks on offense and the people he hires are no better, at least not recently.  

 

It's not really fair to any QB, Jones or not.

I would love BB end in New England be a scribbled note on the podium "I hereby resign as H.C. of the N.E.P."

Chris Brown and Tasker were talking about this on One Bills Live.  They said Belichick has only a small circle of coaches that he trusts...due to all the "things they know" about all that has gone on in the franchise.  That's why he didn't bring a legitimate OC in after Josh McDaniels left for Vegas.  The "circle of trust" is very small.

"Obviously, a trade hasn’t occurred yet. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen. A team hoping to draft a quarterback could pivot to Jones, if that team doesn’t get the guy it wants."

 

This passes for journalism in 2023.  Then again, it's PFT so not surprised. 

 

BillsVet, with all due respect PFT is a blog and they don't oversell themselves. As poor as the writing is (and it's terrible), Florio does have a lot of sources and gets things like contract details and internal NFL memos very quickly. In that regard he is fairly journalistic.

 

He does have an annoying habit of stirring up shyt but that's the nature of the biz... provoking comments and traffic.

 

For what they are PFT is good... a one-stop shop/central clearing house for all NFL news. And occasionally they break a big story so that's an added bonus.

Scott Zolak? Cam Newton?

 

Wasn't Zolak a character on the original Star Trek?

Just found this highlight reel the Pats put together for interested teams. Some really high-level stuff here.

 

 

 

No one came out of that video looking good. Missed tackles, dropped INT...

I used to follow them for UFA news years ago, but they went full click-bait garbage level writing and I could care less what he says.  

 

But more than that...Mike Florio is the NFL's version of TMZ and acts like a clown on air.
