Middle of the road talent producing middle of the road results. Professional sports purgatory and they have enough depth to not cave and get an early pick; while at the same time not having enough talent to just miss the playoffs and not get an early pick... Sucks but it's looking like a failed re-tool these past post-Brady years and "Nepo-Bill" is too proud to admit it.
He's a great football mind and coach but his miscues of surrounding himself with "his guys" as well as "his kids" means he likely isn't getting enough needed feedback to level set on the real state of the Pats. 100% Ok with him trying to nudge his kids into the league on other teams, but the "clan" approach on the Pats isn't merited given the results and it needs to stop.
Kraft if he was interested in other things than happy endings and the latest Instagram quick pick with some entertainer may actually get his shit together and set some basic rules for how businesses are best run... but that would assume he actually knows and did anything more than marry into the money.

Strange hasn't justified his draft position yet.

Oh yeah that’s looking like the reach everyone thought it was. Thornton looks like a bust at the moment too.
But Jack Jones, Marcus Jones look like pretty good picks so far.
Overall his defensive picks haven’t been horrible.

He cares he just thinks he can win on defense like it’s 1995.
I think he doesn't want to change with the times, imo.
The old curmudgeon thing doesn't work for me anymore.

He got old. The game passes everybody by eventually. It's not unusual for someone to hang on longer than they should.
If this were true, which it is not, Bill the GM may wish to do something about it.

A more athletic OL gets that first down, dammit
I mean it was a valiant effort idk what more you expect on that lateral other than the atrocious overturn.
This.
These numbers don’t lie. Apparently, numbers-wise, Jones is a top-10 quarterback (I didn’t know that). Unfortunately, football is a team game and the rest of the squad on offense is *ahem* lacking.
