Wilson has every right to be pissed off at Carroll and the organisation.
That list of games that doesn’t include all time great college QBs and/or offenses is rather short. It’s entirely possible that any one of the top ~5 QBs, or RBs or receivers for that matter, will end up having the best career. But based on what we know, the current projections make sense.
That said, I do like people not being afraid to make bold picks that actually have logic behind them, aka Simms. He’s been right on a couple of those ‘hot takes’ in recent years.
We signed a lot of people ... not sure it’s really money well spent but at least some investment across the board.
Gotta wait for the contract details first.
Justin Fields and Ohio state are all time greats?
Yeah - one or two over payments at first glance but you can’t judge contracts before they’ve played. Especially with Bill in charge.
Ryan Fitzpatrick joining Washington. Interesting
Plus not too much of a stretch when you look at how the contracts are worked.
Patriots had the highest predicted cap space for the 2023 season entering yesterday (the year the cap balloons), and after yesterday have an even bigger cushion at the top.
Russ: wants O-line help
Pete: then we'll just run it 384 times a game.
Hunter Henry to Patriots too now
Pats are back?

Sign all of them 
Wonder if they can trade up for one of the QBs too. Patriots were rebuilt in 24 hoursSign all of them
He's pretty good imo. Unfortunately, some have gotten carried away and have taken to thinking of him as the 2nd coming of Peyton Manning, which is definitely not the case.
Belichick just crushed the soul of all Jonnu Smith dynasty owners.I have Henry in dynasty - not too thrilled
2011 was Gronk's best ever (fantasy) season and that was when Aaron Hernandez also had a very good year. Not sure whether they rotated or just ran a lot of 12 personnel.I have Henry in dynasty - not too thrilled
And I probably shouldn't compare 2011 Brady to 2021 Cam either but still, not all is lost my friend
Denver picking up Von’s option, after he declined a renegotiation. Fangio might get enough of a defense together to keep his job another year...
Thank feck for that. Shame he wasn’t up for restructuring but glad he’s staying.
Nah I don't believe this, absolute bullshit.
Very believable unfortunately. This is why I side with Russ over Pete.
BB has gone TE/receiver mad. Jeez man.
It‘s nigh impossible to replicate Gronk/Hernandez, but that’s a fair attempt by Bill. Cam should feel over the moon.
I think Newton's shoulder is done for but interesting to see what Belichick's offense will look like next season regardless. I feel they might double-down on being a run-heavy team, especially in terms of using Newton in the running game. Jonnu Smith is more of a good pass-catcher and a decent pass-blocker, while Henry is probably the better blocker but has lost a lot of dynamism in the passing game ever since he got injured in 2018. NFL defenses tend to play heavily out of nickel so playing a lot of 12 sets might be one way to gain an advantage. Again, Cam's shoulder might be cooked but he can still be an effective runner so you can view these moves as being made with the intention of maximising what Newton is as a QB right now.
I don't think being a run-heavy team is a good idea in general although there are some caveats: (a) the Patriots had a much better run offense than pass offense last year, (b) Newton can only really play in a run-heavy offense, and (c) while most teams have become more pass-happy over time (Right in line with what analytics would tell them), there does probably exist a threshold whereby it makes more sense to pivot back towards the run as opposed to passing even more. I'm not quite sure we've reached that threshold but as things stand, I don't really see how the Patriots can become an above-average passing offense in the near future. On the other hand, doubling down on running out of 12 personnel might be a better short-term plan.

Backup QB, Punter, 4th string TE? Fine - they actually got a good deal with Brissett. But any chance Miami adds a WR or DE? Both depth charts are extremely depressing
Not a bad deal aged 32
TW had to be paid. Rookie QB in rd1 now perhaps. Anything to get shot of Jimmy.
Ha, Watson would be insane, yes.
Four 1st's & Jimmy.... I'd do it.

Awkward...
shame the Lions can’t be on Hard Knocks to see that unfoldApparently the Bears went super hard after Wilson but the Seahawks weren't willing to trade him. Would've liked to see him in Chicago
‘The FA has suspended David Bahktiari’

Thank god.
Was interesting that Wilson's personal QB coach tweeted yesterday about wanting Rodney Hudson when he's released by the Raiders, even suggesting restructuring Wilson's contract to make it happen. Doing the latter would make it much harder to trade Wilson next season so suggests his priority is still trying to force change in Seattle rather than just wanting out.
