Seems fitting for the Patriots that his 'high paid wr' is the 32nd highest paid WR in the NFL.

You have no timeouts. You hit the receiver in the hands. It would have put you in field goal range - but you don’t make the throw?
of course you do, saying other wise makes zero sense. This o-line sucks. You may not have another chance, you make the throw every single time.

The player garbage they surrounded Mac with fireable
Bill actually could have pulled it off with Myers Bourne & Henry - but he’s an egocentric Dick

There are 32 teams, so you are telling me JuJu is getting paid to be a WR1?

Feed me all the Ls. Who wants any wins at this point?
I hope none of you spent money to go to Germany

Nah, we were told he was "washed" and not needed here.
Which was a joke then, and a joke now.

Safe to say, opinions are split on this.

Don't Listen To Jonathan Vilma, Game-Costing Pick Not On Mac Jones
NFL on FOX analyst Jonathan Vilma gave a bad read of Mac Jones' interception as the New England Patriots fell to the Washington Commanders.

I have always been a Bill guy and I think it’s nonsense to believe that Brady or Bill would have would have won 6 without the other.
That said, I think the game has passed him by a bit and he needs to realize that he doesn’t have the GOAT at QB anymore.
Everything (rules) nowadays is geared towards offense. It’s extremely difficult to win with a Top D and average O. You need a good offense and a D that can make the timely stop. He can still pick the defensive guys, but his draft record on skill position players has been atrocious. This is also why even though I love Mayo, I want an offensively-oriented HC.
I think that you could win with Mac Jones as your QB, provided you gave him a good O line and receivers. Instead, they did the opposite. The line is awful, the receivers are awful and you wasted a year of Jones (and killed his confidence) with Patricia as the OC in a crucial development year.
I could give two sh*** about how Bill treats the media or his surly nature, but he needs to be fired because he doesn’t seem to recognize the game has changed and that an organization’s team building strategy needs to change as well.
This team isn't winning with Mac Jones. He needs to be gone and the sooner the better.

I don’t have an issue with them not signing Hopkins because the line has been so bad, I don’t think he would have made much of a difference.

It's not about a single missing piece, it's about putting the team and players in a position to compete. They had the cap space for him and he wanted to come here, they just gave him the typical "you're lucky to play in this organization" lowball offer. Except no one is going to take those deals anymore.

Don’t blame Jones for being what he is, a cerebral QB with no “escapability” that needs a solid line and good receivers. It’s no mystery what Jones was/is.
Blame the guys that constructed the team around him. Look at Tua with a good offensive HC and a couple of legit WR’s. Jones had a better line and receivers at Alabama than he does in New England
Bingo.
And to fix this team, we're gonna need to sign and draft players. We're not that team that players are clamoring to come to.
It's gonna be a LOT of work. Bill isn't the guy for that.

It IS about a single missing piece when you are talking about an older WR like Hopkins. If the Pats had a good line and a legit WR1 and they wanted D-Hop as the “final piece” to put them over the top. On this team, he makes little to no difference.

He's not cerebral and not accurate enough to make up for the list of deficiencies he has. Im excited for the draft

I don’t would try to deal Bill to a team like the Chargers, who have talent, but need an above average coach. They could probably get a decent pick for him.
This is speculation. We will never know now because they refused to put talent around him (like any sane football organization does when they draft a QB with a 1st round pick).
