What are some areas of football you feel like you wish you knew more about, and struggle to find good information on? I remember early on for me it was things like how tf are receivers getting covered by LB
I'm struggling with punting a spiral, and don't quite know what I might be doing wrong, or what basics I might be missing. Also how to get more power into field goals.
How offensive lineman decide on which techniques to use against defensive lineman (and potentially vice versa as well) - does it differ based more so on film study, blocking scheme/defensive scheme, surrounding personnel, down & distance, positional alignment, play design, personal preference, etc.?
I’m truly shocked by the Patriots offense last year. Who would have though having guys who’ve never run an offense calling plays would be so disastrous!?
Patriots: *replaces offensive coordinator, QB coach, and offensive line coach with a defensive coordinator and special teams coach* Patriots offensive line, QB, and offensive playcalling all regress substantially Patriots: PikachuShockedFace.jpg
Most, if not all, professional sports journalists (might be an oxymoron in there) could see in last year's OTAs in the spring that the offense was a hot mess. I think a lot of people saw this coming. As the offseason progressed into summer, it became apparent that the situation was not being corrected. Despite my reluctance to engage in conspiratorial thinking, I'm not completely convinced that Belichick didn't intentionally use Patricia in particular as a placeholder. Joe Judge has some legit special teams coaching chops, so that hire made more sense once he moved Judge to coach special teams.
Sabotage? That implies a conscious agenda that is counter to your public job description. What I saw was just gross incompetence. That certainly hurt Mac, but also the receivers, and even the OL. They couldn't block my mother in law, but not for lack of talent - but lack of scheme competence.
@@danlorett2184 and he corrected it by hiring bill o Brien the following year? I honestly don't see the issue. Y'all act like we only one two games last year. Maybe I'm missing something
I still to this day don't understand why Patricia saw a line with a 370+ pound tackle, a 350+ right guard, a hyper athletic rookie left guard (9.95 RAS Score!) that's perfect for pulling and thought, "Yeah, zone seems like the right choice for us." They would've been leaps and bounds more successful had they kept Trent on the right side and ran directly behind him and Onwenu every play
I never blamed Mac, bill O’Brien will absolutely help him. Pats will be back. You showed it in this video. Patricia was playing checkers. I can’t believe Belli even gave him the position after his run in Detroit.
Mattyp had jonnu run into hunter Henry and literally took him out of the game. The last game of the season McCorkle was 9/9 100 yards 1td on play action plays alone and 2tds in the first half against Buffalo. Then mattyp ran out of plays. MattyP has zero understanding of how an offense is run in terms of concepts, spacing, and situations.
Good shit man. This video rocks. Highly knowledgeable stuff, good analysis and I even learned sumn with the 2i adjustment to help beat zone runs. Keep up the good work!!🏈🔥
I thought we'd be fine heading into the year because we had some solid players(albeit not elite.) But I should've seen a disastrous offense coming. Mac isn't blameless but the whole O took a step back and as the season went on you could tell it was Matt Patt holding back the team. I'm just glad that fraud Fatty P is gone and we got a real OC. I actually have hope this year in Mac and the whole offense since BOB is a real OC and we made some nice additions like Juju, Gesicki, and Boutte.

*You’ll definitely see a dramatic shift in Mac this season.

Last year I knew they were screw ed from the start with Judge and Patricia. The reports out of mini-camp and from pre-season were baaaad. Then I got to see it twice in person at home in NE against the Jets and Dolphins. Defense and Marcus Jones were awesome though. Judo’s taking time to play catch with us during warmups… Wise signing my jersey… Slater stopping in and signing my kids stuff his almost last home game… All class acts!
He has an agreement with Saban that they don’t poach coaches off each other. BoB’s contract was up this year which is why he was able to go to the Patriots. Bill just needed a seat filler for a year and figured (incorrectly) that Matt Patricia could do a good enough job to get by.
He was free. The Pats braintrust is nearing 0 after a decade+ of any mildly successful coach being poached, so MP and JJ were "perfect" fits since they knew the system and were being paid by their old teams.
Behind the scenes Bill could have been working on getting BillyO out of his contract, or bringing in somebody else, and got caught holding the bag of nothing. We shouldn't just assume that Bill thought this was a jolly-good idea. He will never reveal it to us, but I'm guessing he was onto somebody else before calling Patricia. But who knows? I just can't believe Bill got stupid over night.
That one series said it all. NE called timeout on themselves and negated a TD because the coaching staff did not like the look of the set up. After failing on the next several plays. NE decided to go for it on 4th, then had to call a 2nd timeout because again the coaching staff did not have a play ready. That was indicative of the entire season. Patricia looked like he struggled with every decision and then every decision after the first one. Seriously before 3rd down is snapped, the offensive play caller should be thinking of a 4th down play especially on the goal line should they need it.
That Vikings game told me all I need to know about mac he can cook give him a o line and some receivers that can actually catch he’ll put the ball where it needs to go you saw it his rookie season and you’ll see it this season
Hell he was cooking well in Alabama with first rate weapons like Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith and a good O-line. Thing I don't know if the Pats are in a position to get those type of talents to build around him that way in short order. I do think BB may have had the right idea to pursue a mobile QB to make the run game more dynamic and blend in the pass.

I’m somewhat of a Bill apologist, but I have to say, if my boss let me down with managerial decisions THAT BAD, I would be gone the next year. If you call it anything less than an absolute lack of judgement as an HC, you’re kidding yourself
I don't see it that way. I think they thought they could get Josh McDaniels to reconsider like he did with the Colts a few years ago. Then Ivan Fears retired and Josh took the O-line coach, QB coach and WR coach with him (Bill likes to promote from within). Nobody with experience and trust left in house. He then went to Bill O'brien, either Saban wanted time to set up a backup or BOB wanted to finish his contract. Asked Matty P and Joe Judge if they could run the base offense and protect the ball instead of breaking in a new coordinator until next year.

Thats exactly what happened tbh. Read the things that came out in the off-season about how offensive players felt. They said they'd ask a question like what if the defense does this? And Patricia and Judge would just be like we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, or get mad they were being questioned. Reality was they knew what Shannahan and those guys were doing, they didn't know why, and how they were doing it.
Matt will never see the offensive side of the ball again. Who the hell would trust him? But you know, gotta admit, somebody named Bill threw him into that quagmire. I think Bill has done a good job reversing that, but it was really on him that it happened.
@@fast3286 Letting Brady walk actually wasn't a bad decision. Brady was still good but the immense financial cost of keeping him would've crippled the team for years
One question I have is the major responsibilities of each of the linebackers. Like the Mike and will like what’s the major differences and what do coach’s look for in these spots specifically
I never understood why Patricia still has a job in the NFL. The guy has never been successful anywhere he is been. Everybody knows that when he called the defense for New England back in the day that it was all Bill Belichick.
LOL you would be surprised how the nfl coaching group as a whole is both a 'brotherhood' and a nepotistic relationship. That guy Hackett last year got a head coach job for the Broncos and outside of Ejiro Evero, his staff was full of flunkies. When he stopped play calling for offense, he gave that job Klint Kubiak. Yes that flunky whose Gary's son who has done nothing. Hell on the subject of the Pats, BB has 2 of his sons on the defensive coaching staff. Stephen on LBs and Brian on safeties.
I agree that Patricia was a disaster. But the players deserve alot of blame as well. The Big Post you pointed out is a good example. You're right, that's a pre snap alert. Bears look to be playing Quarters. I know pre snap Mac wouldn't know that for sure but their alignment pre snap vs that formation screams Quarters. Plus knowing their DC. Mac should've threw the alert. Now maybe having some speed at X would help, and maybe that's where Patricia comes back into play, but it was a mess all around
yeah the switch upfront depicts the entirely of what the whole offense looks like. them switching the blocking scheme to a zone scheme completely ruined everything. They definitely didn’t have the guys needed for that type of blocking scheme. I mean come on you have trent brown for crying out loud.
@@RIfMlLVrdhpPYbHCcTqjnEFGgNyKku i mean sure they had a lot of yards but i remember us smoking them 29-0 with bailey zappe at qb. Lions were not that good offensively or as a team in general. We had around the same record as them despite the talent diference
this is a great video but its extremely frustrating to watch as well. i think we all get lulled in to silently trusting every decision that an NFL team makes, but there are always a lot of headscratchers that make you wonder whether they're rly doing their homework. idk what convinced Belichick that Patricia was the answer for the offense. if he wants to have Patricia be an advisor to the defense then whatever, but dont try to stuff a square peg into a round hole. the Pats offense should improve past the point of being anemic, but now the schedule is absolutely brutal for this season and there arent any players on the Pats offense that are keeping defensive coordinators up at night. i dont question Belichick as a coach, but i would definitely question Belichick as an acting GM. we'll see what this season brings on the field
It's crazy because everyone knew bringing in Matt Patricia to replace Josh McDaniels was a terrible idea, and the only one in the state of Massachusetts that thought it was clever was Bill Belichick
Bill and Mac are looking at the game differently. Belichick still has this idea that anyone can be Brady and Mac wants to go back to being the star kid he was in Alabama he wants to go back to passing for more than 60 yards and explosive plays. And of course Matt Patricia is the biggest trickster ever posing as a coach it's just pathetic
nah, brady wasn't brady early on, was just a game manager...a good one then he got randy moss , and the game became much easier for him then the years of experience, good coaching and quick reads and release made him hall of fame mac is still in the game manager part of his career bill and bill will design an offense he can succeed in but don't expect big numbers
@@flerbus a lot of younger fans have no idea how limited Tom was in the early years. It takes time to develop, and a lot of younger fans don't appreciate that aspect of the game.
As a SF fan, do you view Mac Jones pretty similar to Brock Purdy? With just enough arm to get by, just enough mobility to get by, and succeed with their football IQ? And realistically both need a strong team around them to succeed?
heck no. Purdy playing all four years in college certainly assisted him a lot. Purdy tearing apart the bucs' defense shows you who's the better quarterback. Don't care who has the better team, the eyes don't lie when you watch the both of them.
I don’t understand how Patricia keeps getting chances to coach at this level. This video aside, the way his time in Detroit panned out (on and off the field) should be sufficient to oust him right?
Matt Patricia might have been the worst offensive playcaller in the history of the nfl... yet they still went 8-9 thanks to mac and the defense. People are writing them off, but they are not prepared for how good the patriots can be next year.
I mean I knew they were going to regress in Mac Jones second year because the Patriots played a wet paper bag strength schedule his rookie year but this past season was just sheer incompetence on Belichick’s part. The Patriots 2022 offseason should be forever enshrined in Canton as a shining monument to football stupidity.
Great analysis until the last two minutes. Your description of what Mac Jones needs to be a good Qb is really what all but the best 5 to 7 QBs need to be good.
As a Lions fan for over two decades, nothing can compare to the ineptitude of the Matt Patricia era. He amazingly took a consistent 9-10 win football team and made them the worst unit in the league. Everything that Matt Patricia touches turns to garbage.
Plot twist: Bill Belichick made Matt Patricia his offensive coordinator knowing the offense would be horrendous so they would tank for better draft picks.. while not making it look obvious that he was intentionally tanking.. it’s indirect tanking.. Bill Belichick still playing chess while everyone is playing checkers..
Talent wise and results I'd easily have Eagles and Lions as 1-2. 3 is maybe a big team tie between Chiefs, Ravens, Cowboys and arguably the Browns on paper.
Not a damn thing to do with Mac. Patriots mishandled there first round Quarterback. Rookie year he showed a lot of promise. Then loose offensive coordinator and have some non offensive minded person running the offense 🤯. So this year he will be back in a system he can succeed.
As a jets fan it was nice to see the pats kinda crumble but at the same time it was a clown show. i don’t think mac is a bad QB but the ineptitude on the offensive side shown by the coaches was terrible. Billy O is by no mean a coaching genius but he should be able to get mac goin again
Mac won't ever be an all pro, but I think he can be a reliable quarterback for years to come. With a solid offense and a elite defense, the patriots can win with him under center.
I thought having a defensive coordinator as an OC would work because a defensive coordinator knows how to stop offensive plays so he would just pick the opposite offensive plays to beat defenses
I think it's time that we addressed Bill Belichick's deficiencies instead of just calling him the GOAT off rip. Belichick is good at: - defensive coaching - scheming around player talent on defense - team management - a certain kind of player motivation Belichick is bad at: - offensive scheming - drafting - being a GM
"he needs a detailed oriented structure.." Literally every QB in the league. This perception that "talent" overcomes poor offensive coaching, design or poor skill position talent is, well, completely wrong. But somehow it's become accepted in football analysis as a kind of truism. But look at the history of the NFL and it's never been true, not today, not ever. The Bills lack of a true #2 receiver hurt them last year; Allen's immense talent wasn't able to 'overcome' that. Herbert is the most talented QB in the league and he hasn't been able to overcome bad offensive coaching and slow receivers. Mahomes is playing the single most detail oriented offense in the league, but he is dependent on the bread and butter of that offense being effective; when is the defense had the jump on Reid's game plan, but Mahomes overcame that to win a shootout anyway? The only QB, maybe ever, good enough to elevate a team to victory consistently despite fundamental offensive flaws is Brady. That's the list, and even then we saw the limits of that last year when the only time that offense functioned properly was when he kicked the OC to the curb and ran the hurry up, calling plays from the line.
The Brady vs Belichick debate has been answered in the last few years. It was Brady who was more responsible for those SBs with Belichick riding the coattails.
What are some areas of football you feel like you wish you knew more about, and struggle to find good information on? I remember early on for me it was things like how tf are receivers getting covered by LB
why kickers are missing tons of field goals

Matt will never see the offensive side of the ball again. Who the hell would trust him? But you know, gotta admit, somebody named Bill threw him into that quagmire. I think Bill has done a good job reversing that, but it was really on him that it happened.
@@zeppelinmexicano Worst Belichick decision second only to letting Brady walk
Joe Lombardi is worse
@@fast3286 Letting Brady walk actually wasn't a bad decision. Brady was still good but the immense financial cost of keeping him would've crippled the team for years
I mean, you answered your question in the first sentence of the description: "Matt Patricia took over."
One question I have is the major responsibilities of each of the linebackers. Like the Mike and will like what’s the major differences and what do coach’s look for in these spots specifically
Lol 😂 “not 4.28 speed” haha I don’t know why that made me laugh as hard as it did. Praying the pats have a good year.
I never understood why Patricia still has a job in the NFL. The guy has never been successful anywhere he is been. Everybody knows that when he called the defense for New England back in the day that it was all Bill Belichick.
LOL you would be surprised how the nfl coaching group as a whole is both a 'brotherhood' and a nepotistic relationship. That guy Hackett last year got a head coach job for the Broncos and outside of Ejiro Evero, his staff was full of flunkies. When he stopped play calling for offense, he gave that job Klint Kubiak. Yes that flunky whose Gary's son who has done nothing. Hell on the subject of the Pats, BB has 2 of his sons on the defensive coaching staff. Stephen on LBs and Brian on safeties.
@@t4d0W Oh man I knew about Hackett but I didn't know he had a Kubiak on his staff too. No wonder Denver was a joke.
Bill rolling his eyes while wearing all of his rings
I agree that Patricia was a disaster. But the players deserve alot of blame as well. The Big Post you pointed out is a good example. You're right, that's a pre snap alert. Bears look to be playing Quarters. I know pre snap Mac wouldn't know that for sure but their alignment pre snap vs that formation screams Quarters. Plus knowing their DC. Mac should've threw the alert. Now maybe having some speed at X would help, and maybe that's where Patricia comes back into play, but it was a mess all around
yeah the switch upfront depicts the entirely of what the whole offense looks like. them switching the blocking scheme to a zone scheme completely ruined everything. They definitely didn’t have the guys needed for that type of blocking scheme. I mean come on you have trent brown for crying out loud.
Bellichick ego finally got too big and bit him in the ass .. "im Bellichick. I dont need specialists"
Just look at how the lions offense was ran when he was there. Just a different uniform with the same result.
lions offense is still bad though
@@skyline128 Lions were a top 5 Offense last year
@@RIfMlLVrdhpPYbHCcTqjnEFGgNyKku i mean sure they had a lot of yards but i remember us smoking them 29-0 with bailey zappe at qb. Lions were not that good offensively or as a team in general. We had around the same record as them despite the talent diference
this is a great video but its extremely frustrating to watch as well. i think we all get lulled in to silently trusting every decision that an NFL team makes, but there are always a lot of headscratchers that make you wonder whether they're rly doing their homework. idk what convinced Belichick that Patricia was the answer for the offense. if he wants to have Patricia be an advisor to the defense then whatever, but dont try to stuff a square peg into a round hole. the Pats offense should improve past the point of being anemic, but now the schedule is absolutely brutal for this season and there arent any players on the Pats offense that are keeping defensive coordinators up at night. i dont question Belichick as a coach, but i would definitely question Belichick as an acting GM. we'll see what this season brings on the field
It's crazy because everyone knew bringing in Matt Patricia to replace Josh McDaniels was a terrible idea, and the only one in the state of Massachusetts that thought it was clever was Bill Belichick
I'm reminded of the baffling 2021 Bears offense, except worse in some ways.
I would be so pissed if I were set up to fail like that 2:43.
Bill and Mac are looking at the game differently.
Belichick still has this idea that anyone can be Brady and Mac wants to go back to being the star kid he was in Alabama he wants to go back to passing for more than 60 yards and explosive plays.
And of course Matt Patricia is the biggest trickster ever posing as a coach it's just pathetic
nah, brady wasn't brady early on,
was just a game manager...a good one
then he got randy moss , and the game became much easier for him
then the years of experience, good coaching and quick reads and release made him hall of fame
mac is still in the game manager part of his career
bill and bill will design an offense he can succeed in
but don't expect big numbers
@@flerbus a lot of younger fans have no idea how limited Tom was in the early years. It takes time to develop, and a lot of younger fans don't appreciate that aspect of the game.
Mac Jones is more the next coming of Andrew Luck than anything imo
As a SF fan, do you view Mac Jones pretty similar to Brock Purdy? With just enough arm to get by, just enough mobility to get by, and succeed with their football IQ? And realistically both need a strong team around them to succeed?
I think Purdy is better than Mac at reading defenses.
@@WillHal1000 mac isnt anywhere close to purdys level of mobility and improvisation.
@@skyline128 100% Agree
heck no. Purdy playing all four years in college certainly assisted him a lot. Purdy tearing apart the bucs' defense shows you who's the better quarterback. Don't care who has the better team, the eyes don't lie when you watch the both of them.
I don’t understand how Patricia keeps getting chances to coach at this level. This video aside, the way his time in Detroit panned out (on and off the field) should be sufficient to oust him right?
Matt Patricia might have been the worst offensive playcaller in the history of the nfl... yet they still went 8-9 thanks to mac and the defense. People are writing them off, but they are not prepared for how good the patriots can be next year.
I argue it was Mike McCoy in 2018.. this is coming from a cards fan … running up the gut and minimal adjustments 😑😑
I mean I knew they were going to regress in Mac Jones second year because the Patriots played a wet paper bag strength schedule his rookie year but this past season was just sheer incompetence on Belichick’s part. The Patriots 2022 offseason should be forever enshrined in Canton as a shining monument to football stupidity.
Im really excited for the patriots this season
Great analysis until the last two minutes.
Your description of what Mac Jones needs to be a good Qb is really what all but the best 5 to 7 QBs need to be good.
As a Lions fan, I will NEVER understand why Patricia keeps getting hired. NEVER.
As a Lions fan for over two decades, nothing can compare to the ineptitude of the Matt Patricia era. He amazingly took a consistent 9-10 win football team and made them the worst unit in the league. Everything that Matt Patricia touches turns to garbage.
I saw a lot of mac Jones hate that should have been directed at the oc. I'll try to give more of the benefit of the doubt
Vikings next please 🙏
"We can be cool kids too" 😂🤣
Im not even a fan of new england but i was surprised as well when i didnt see the gap runs i was used tp always seeing them run.
Plot twist: Bill Belichick made Matt Patricia his offensive coordinator knowing the offense would be horrendous so they would tank for better draft picks.. while not making it look obvious that he was intentionally tanking.. it’s indirect tanking.. Bill Belichick still playing chess while everyone is playing checkers..
In your opinion who are the top 3 O-lines?
PFf (if you care) has the eagles at 1, the ravens at 2, and the packers at 3.
@@jacksonbutler8298 chiefs are better than packers and ravens. 2 all pros and 2 potential pro bowlers. RT the only question.
Talent wise and results I'd easily have Eagles and Lions as 1-2. 3 is maybe a big team tie between Chiefs, Ravens, Cowboys and arguably the Browns on paper.
@@t4d0W I would rank the top 3.
#1 Eagles
#2 Chiefs
#3 Packers.
Browns, Cowboys, Lions and Ravens definitely top 10.
Not a damn thing to do with Mac. Patriots mishandled there first round Quarterback. Rookie year he showed a lot of promise. Then loose offensive coordinator and have some non offensive minded person running the offense 🤯. So this year he will be back in a system he can succeed.
It’s all Patricia’s fault fs, idk why u would put him in the offensive room
Before the Pats, I had never EVER heard of a defensive coordinator becoming the teams offensive coordinator. Brain dead move
What is the point of beating a dead horse? They have a new OC and a new offensive line coach so what is the relevance?
As a jets fan it was nice to see the pats kinda crumble but at the same time it was a clown show. i don’t think mac is a bad QB but the ineptitude on the offensive side shown by the coaches was terrible. Billy O is by no mean a coaching genius but he should be able to get mac goin again
Mac won't ever be an all pro, but I think he can be a reliable quarterback for years to come. With a solid offense and a elite defense, the patriots can win with him under center.
Worst place to be in the NFL is middle of the pack/mediocre and that's what you get with him being the QB.
5:44 …right?
What a shame
if Matt had a pencil that could write on lamented paper he could have made changes during the game
I still love my pats❤️💙
What i don't get is why they wanted to give up on our scheme to tout McKay whom we bitched in a Superbowl laugher
Man, I don't want Patricia in Philly :///
first step in all this, have matt patricia anywhere near any nfl team at all
As Tom Grossi said we'll have a super defense but we'll win the games 3 - 0 🤣
If we use the rookie kicker that could change
Shanahan does it the best.
Nah that coaching has to be the worst of all time and the fact that the OC was a DC baffles me
I thought having a defensive coordinator as an OC would work because a defensive coordinator knows how to stop offensive plays so he would just pick the opposite offensive plays to beat defenses
However, Pat's D were always ran by BB. The Lions D were horrible when Matt P was in town.
And yet the talking heads are still trying to blame mac for the problems.
How Patricia keeps getting jobs is one of the great mysteries of the last decade.
You want to see an offense burned to the ground? Hire Matt Canada as OC
yall really gotta get over the patriots last year lol
Why in hell is Patricia even still have a job anywhere in the NFL? Dude cant oversee an Arby's let alone coach anything in the NFL.
Now with Bill O'Brien back, we'll be ok
Patricia is a bad coordinator and has been most of his career. Putting him in charge of his new QB was one of Bill’s biggest gaffes.
This is depressing to watch, what a waste of a season that was
Kendall Vindur? 😂😂
Kindle Vildor. It is a little difficult to pronounce.
Damn this should’ve been about Josh Allen leading the league in turnovers. Should be since he had 14ints and 5 fumbles but y’all think it was Dak.
I think it's time that we addressed Bill Belichick's deficiencies instead of just calling him the GOAT off rip.
Belichick is good at:
- defensive coaching
- scheming around player talent on defense
- team management
- a certain kind of player motivation
Belichick is bad at:
- offensive scheming
- drafting
- being a GM
Belichick has had moments where he’s shown he’s the best coach of all time.. and the worst gm of all time
Patricia and Judge need to be fired.
Its on the qb to communicate this to his team, Mac just isnt a leader
Watching the qb school teaches you that everything this guy says is wrong
What if Bill didn’t sign an OC just to have the offense deal with adversity for a year
step one: draft mac jones
The fact that we somehow went 8 and 9 last year is reason for hope this year
Lol having a losing record gives you hope ?
@@palmtrees2420 Given the circumstances yes... However the schedule is very difficult.
a patriots fan being hopeful about having a losing record. That's a first. Lol
Dude .. just like “Herbert is thenext big bust” right? 😂
"he needs a detailed oriented structure.." Literally every QB in the league. This perception that "talent" overcomes poor offensive coaching, design or poor skill position talent is, well, completely wrong. But somehow it's become accepted in football analysis as a kind of truism. But look at the history of the NFL and it's never been true, not today, not ever. The Bills lack of a true #2 receiver hurt them last year; Allen's immense talent wasn't able to 'overcome' that. Herbert is the most talented QB in the league and he hasn't been able to overcome bad offensive coaching and slow receivers. Mahomes is playing the single most detail oriented offense in the league, but he is dependent on the bread and butter of that offense being effective; when is the defense had the jump on Reid's game plan, but Mahomes overcame that to win a shootout anyway? The only QB, maybe ever, good enough to elevate a team to victory consistently despite fundamental offensive flaws is Brady. That's the list, and even then we saw the limits of that last year when the only time that offense functioned properly was when he kicked the OC to the curb and ran the hurry up, calling plays from the line.
pats need to get rid of mac jones
and get better wr and some reall dbs and lb they will start winning gain after that
Mac Jones is the modern day Trent Dilfer IMO
Good enough to be part of a super bowl team is good enough for me.
Ceiling is prime Matt Ryan.
@@Tom-vt1eu MVP and should-have-been-Super-Bowl-Champion Matt Ryan?
That's a *fantastic* ceiling.
*laughs and cries in Detroit*
Idk why bill keeps giving his friends jobs when they suck. Lol find a good Offensive coordinator not Patricia… clearly we all know who is the problem
The Brady vs Belichick debate has been answered in the last few years. It was Brady who was more responsible for those SBs with Belichick riding the coattails.
no nfl head coach has consistently won without a star qb in the modern era. butwen belichick had a star qb, he got 6 rings, more than any other.
