Matt_In_NH Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 31 minutes ago, May Day 10 said: If I'm Vrabel, I'm taking a better opportunity with a smaller shadow to work in Mac Jones went a couple games without an interception, and their fans and media were calling him brady and planning 6 more parades NE is a good opportunity in terms of picks and cap....there is a lot of cap available for them to build a team and a high pick for a QB. Maybe somewhere that has a QB could be thought of as better. I do agree on the shadow thing but I think Vrabel is one who maybe can handle that. This makes 6 coaches fired in the division since McDermott took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) So does Bill retire or take the Chargers job. After dealing with crap at QB these past few seasons I could see LAC since Herbert is someone Bill feels he could win with. Plus, on paper they are talented, but it never shows on the field with the W/L record. As a bonus Bill could make things tough on Andy and the Chiefs if he went there.

Draconator Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 A good friend of mine is from Boston and is a Pats fan. He wants Vrabel (likely), and the Pats to draft the only can't-miss prospect in the draft, Marvin Harrison Jr. Harrison on the Pats would annoy me for years, regardless of which noodle arm QB they have.

If the Bears move on from Fields, I wonder if NE would kick the tires on that. I bet the Jets and Steelers will as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Not surprised. Get while the getting is good. Wonder if he already has a place to land? Not a lock replacement is Vrabel. If hoodie has an axe to grind with ownership, I could see him telling Vrabel not to take the job. Also, Vrabel will probably go to highest bidder/best chance to win. NE is not the best chance to win right now. Seattle may be. Yes, belichick may have done great things as a coach. And just like Tommy, their accomplishments will always be tainted. Just like Sosa, McQwire and Bonds he will always have an asterisks on his accomplishments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they pick someone no guarantee they are any good. Attractive to a new HC probably, not an experienced like Vrabel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like cousins and Wilson will be available but also a good draft for qb. Of course it’s always a crap shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, not a team you insert a successful top pick and now you are a competitive team. No QB. Not the greatest WR’s or RB’s. Don’t believe they are super attractive to a veteran HC. Maybe Vrabels heart stings are pulled to go there? Maybe. But a competitive guy like him who was thrown to the street the way he was in Tennessee, maybe he wants the least restrictive path to coaching a very good team.

Please point to where is the aging at exactly? Their top corner who looks to be a stand out is/was a rookie Christian Barmore their D-end who came on the last few games was drafted in 21 Kevion white another D-end Was drafted in 2023 Jabril peppers 28yr Kyle Dugger strong Stafety drafted 2020(27yr) Josh Uche LB. Drafted 20. (25 yes old) Not going to go through the whole roster, that would be wild, but went through some noticeably names on defense just now. Edited January 11 by Ghost_002!
