Jules saying Bill whiffed on picks and that Mac needs help on the offense. And that the Patriots need help on the scouting. He doesn't understand why Meyers wasn't re-signed. Says we need WRs. Ours can't get open or separation. Offensive line issues.
Things I've said but told im crazy. Well. If Jules sees what I see? I'm in good company.

Nobody has said you're crazy for any of these things. You just always have to take this Mac Jones persecution angle.
Signing JuJu instead of Meyers was Bill playing chess and then not knowing how the pieces move across the board. Then Mark Davis shows up looking like a cast member from dumb and dumber and shows everyone he knows how to play checkers.
Should have re-signed Meyers AND continued to do due diligence on acquiring a true #1 elite talent. Fact not opinion. Maybe nothing happened this year but you are in a much better position with Meyers locked up. You don't think Mac would kill for Jakobi right now?

Bill does not take enough public criticism on his nonsensical drafting tendencies.

Offensive line has been an issue for 5+ years. Brady was able to overcome because he's elite at seeing the field; Mac Jones isn't anywhere near that level. If your QB isn't up to par, then go to the running game, but the Patriots don't have that either. All teams have to do is play man-to-man and rush the QB. Heck, even the kicker this year isn't great.
Nah. It's not persecution. I've been crowned on for 2 years. Nobody said shit to me his rookie year. Ya know. He's my binky. My son, etc etc
When it's not just him. I've defended him when he deserves it, and I've called him out too. But some of you have put this sorely on Mac. And to have Julian Edelman go on national tv and not put the blame sorely on Mac. Say what I've been saying, and admit this is on poor drafting, having nobody on the offense WR side, offensive line issues, saying Bill needs to draft better, calling out Bill subtlety.
It gives validation to what I'm saying. And I'll say it again: we could draft Caleb Williams. We could put Mahomes, Tua, and Allen on this current instructed team. And we'd still suck. Because our offensive line would kill those mobile QB's. Heck, Mahomes has issues with his own line but it's still effective.
College teams have a better o-line than us. It's embarrassing.
This season is on Bill. And that old curmudgeon doesn't say shit.
I don't know who is doing this. Maybe you do. There could be someone out there saying this is all on Mac and I would certainly disagree. Mac has been dealt a bad hand.

I give Mac a huge portion of the blame but now blame Bill and Kraft for putting him out there. I see that noodle arm and cringe every throw
There's a few users I won't name. But I appreciate a fair post by you. I like you Johnny. We may disagree but I respect you as a poster.
I have no idea what to make of this:

CTE may be overdiagnosed in living football players, study suggests - UPI.com
Former pro football players with symptoms of depression or anxiety are far more likely to receive an unverifiable diagnosis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) than players without those mental health conditions.

Why would your blood boil Tommy boy? Are you a sports writer of a pom pom waiver?
Watch what you say, you are nobody with out your Pats
Every pass catcher the last three seasons who joins the Patriots gets worse and once they leave they get better. Yeah they probably should have kept Jakobi but Juju last season had a better year than any season Meyers had with the Patriots despite him being the #1 passing option and slot guy. Now Jakobi is on pace for a career year while Juju's on a 275 yards in 17 games pace.
Juju also wasn't a #1. He always does better behind another player. But the issue is that knee that we've been hearing about. He doesn't have any separating speed anymore no bursts. And he dropped catachable balls.
The word is that knee is about to explode. Bill knew this and still signed him. He couldn't do anything in training camp for a reason.
It's sad
JuJu did benefit last year from being with Mahomes so that should have been accounted for. As well as the documented injury concerns. Just an inexplicable signing.
It's mindblowing. Who did the scouting for this? Nobody can press Bill on it either. It's just...makes no f***ing sense. None.
And now he has an alleged concussion on top of bad knees.
Why? Are you still salty about Super Bowl XXXI? That was almost 30 years ago..
You should definitely put a Pats away game at Lambeau on your bucket list. You’ll have a great experience. Especially before the game, crashing random tailgate parties. You’ll eat and drink for free..
Why would the Pats sign Ju Ju if he had a knee issue? All pro contracts have a clause " pending pass of physical examination". If Ju Ju is not fit to play due to his knee about to explode, why is he still playing? I get it that we are all upset the JM is having a much better season that Ju Ju but you cannot blame JJ for not getting passes. Let's get the root cause fixed, which is that Mac has ZERO time to read the play and make a decent pass. This is caused by a way below average O'line, which is one of the areas we need to significantly improve and it won't happen this year.
You're absolutely right.
But the chatter from scouts and people who follow the team have said since the signing that the knee could be an issue. He didnt practice in training camp. He has no explosiveness. It's very evident there's issues there. And when the ball is thrown to him, he's had a few crucial drops or he just doesn't have that burst speed.
To sign him over Jakobi was an absolute mistake. And that's on Bill.

doubt any number 1 is chomping at the bit to have their stats take a plunge with Mac attempting to throw them the ball. Flowers was a miss bc no #1 is signing here
Howe: If you think Patriots owner Robert Kraft wouldn't fire Bill Belichick, you're wrong
Kraft has grown frustrated, if not downright angry, over the Patriots' recent shortage of success. But what is he willing to do about it?
