Pats 2.0 are Team to Beat in the AFC

They have shown interest in Fournette and Chris Carson as well

 

This is so un-Patriots like and against "the Patriots way." Every time I see another signing by them I think, "what, was their cap at like $30 million or something?"

 

While he has options at WR, RB, and TE, none of them are exactly elite options. Simply a lot of secondary options. Maybe they'll draft a WR, but I don't see offense as anything special.

Defensively they should be much better, but they couldn't get much worse.

 

They are only going to go as far as their QB can carry them and right now Cam can't do much. Without Brady they are like any other team just trying to get to the playoffs.

 

I’m wondering what Cam’s role will be? Surely they are bringing in someone else too. Maybe the draft, maybe a trade, but hard to imagine they aren’t looking at a longer term option.

 

No one is paying Mary what hes set to earn in 2021 IMO

 

And if they do want Mary (not sure why theyd want him) they can just wait it out til hes cut and sign him for something like $15/hr

I can see New England taking a QB early and grooming him to be their future QB once Cam flames out.

 

And why would the pats want two fragile running qbs that can't throw very well?

 

I am not too worried about them. There defense is still suspect and the QB situation is average at best. It looks like a dream team on paper but without chemistry I would say they finish 8-8.

 

NFL is setting up and getting the pieces in place for Brady vs Bill - biggest stage for the biggest storyline of them all.
