LII wasn't BB's biggest blunder
I retract what I said about BB and LII:

I was not crazy about not kicking any FGs against Denver in 2015.
Even 1 FG in the 2nd and 3rd to last drives means that Gronk TD at the end wins the game. He is still the best coach ever, but that was not his best day. |

The Patriots' scouting and personnel departments are doing something very right.
3 years in a row, the Patriots drafted players that are now among the highest-paid at their positions on their 2nd deal 2012: Chandler Jones, 2013: Jamie Collins, 2014: Jimmy Garoppolo And BB had them on cheap rookie contracts. |

It's amazing that some here aren't NFL GM's since they clearly are more brilliant than BB.

Currently, the Pats have $17M in cap space. Yes, they will increase that as they terminate contracts, but there was no way they could have kept JG under the franchise tag and not hurt the rest of the roster.
And as much as Felger wants to keep saying the cap is crap, it is not. It can be manipulated short term, but eventually the piper has to be paid. |

I don't blame BB for Jimmy as he wanted to keep the guy.

I can imagine some heated discussions in here say 5 years down the road where we argue whether 10-12 years of Jimmy was worth more than 2-3 years of Brady.

but you will laugh because I see Hoyer as a big part of this trade, you had no back up QB. that is worth the 3rd pick you gave up. plus you will not face the 49ers as much as Cleveland so he is not an issue as often. |

Scott Mitchell. Matt Flynn. Brock Osweiler. Matt Cassell.
I'm not saying that Jimmy G. is any one of these guys. But there are more stories like theirs than there are of successful backups who flourished on other teams. Maybe Drew Brees with the Chargers or even Brett Favruh with the Falcons but I don't think either of those two were projected to be the studs that they became. I drank the Kool Aid many years ago and I continue to drink it. Keeping Jimmy was not really an option unless you jettisoned Brady. And that wasn't happening. |
