I'm sure someone will sign him, but not sure why... He's washed up

There's nobody that really stands out as a must have WR on the Patriots. If you want to take a flier on somebody though, it would be JaLynn Polk. What I would do is keep a close eye on their summer practices and camp, preseason, etc. reports, they have a promising young QB who is likely to develop chemistry with one of them.

Yep, that will be their avenue to calling Mahomes the GOAT over Brady...

There really isn't a very good comparison to Shedeur. I think it's kind of uncharted territory.

Shedeur kind of reminds me of Cam Newton in the draft. I think most people expected Cam to be a bust, yet at the same time, everybody seemed to agree that he was the clear cut first pick.

I guess this kind of depends on exactly what a franchise QB means. If it's a QB a la Patick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts, that will make you a playoff team most years, and sometimes a Super Bowl contender, then I would say this doesn't appear to be the best season. That said, the number of good candidates is limited, but not completely missing. Cam Ward has some potential, it may take some time but I wouldn't be totally shocked if he develops into one of the better QBs in the NFL. Shedeur Sanders, It wouldn't surprise me if he's Jameis Winston 2.0, but I think there's also a bit of a chance he's the best or close to the best QB in the NFL in 5 years too. Maybe not as much of a chance as the one where he sucks, but it's there. If franchise QB is just simply a QB that a team will throw a lot of money at in a 2nd deal, in hopes of, I don't know, something, not really winning, a la Dak Prescott or Kirk Cousins, then I think there could be a few of those.

I just looked back, my lord my draft was awful!

Sure... I'll have to look back and see how I did in the mock this past summer

Those sorts of big 4th down calls can be challenging for some coaches it seems lol Reminds of the call a few years ago in the playoffs when the 49ers had a 4th and short. They lined Trent Williams up in the backfield and had him as the lead blocker instead on the line of scrimmage. The LB just ran around him and made the tackle in the backfield. The biggest moments, the best players need to be doing what they do best, not some gimmick play that puts them out of position.

Analytics has ruined the game. Coaches don't know how to take calculated risks any more.

If he made any transaction decisions or moves for another owner behind their backs, then it's grounds for dismissal from the league IMO. Is this seriously a question? This is like asking if you go through someone's drawers and find their credit cards, is it okay to use them without their knowledge? Of course it's not!

Going beyond what was reasonable happened ages ago. This is just the reality of the world today. It's not a matter of if this happens, but when. I'm certain the NFL and the teams with outdoor stadiums in cold weather cities have taken this into consideration.

Isaiah Likely is their TE of the future

At what point does the NFL start to require stadiums to have a retractable roof. In today's world, this sort of thing could lead to some costly lawsuits. I love cold weather games as much as anyone, but with the direction the league is going, softening the game, one has to think they're gonna be phased out at some point
