I mean Cowboys fans literally hated actual Tony Romo, and 21st century Pats fans are no better than 1996+ Cowboys fans.

Using the fans hating him as a barometer for him not being that good is dumb lol, vast majority of fans are dumb as poo poo. Like the people barstool caters to.

If he didn't get shackled with the clapper this wouldn't even be a discussion. Wade was a lovely HC too

Mac Jones will be good because everyone was sure he would be mediocre and the worst QB of the top 5 taken

Also because it will cause the most amount of misery and the world runs on that

I'm not worried about that because Cams ability to play like rear end is strong. He'll play his way off the field if Jones doesn't just outright take the job first. Either way, it's inevitable.

If I had the opportunity to guarantee Jones would be a Carr or Dalton level QB in both skill and success for the next 7 years I'd take it.

The truly karmic outcome, though, would be Jones kicking off an endless cycle of drafting a QB, convincing yourself he shows promise despite underperforming in his first two years, then kicking him to the curb after year 3 and drafting anew. Patriots fans don't know what it's like to have the type of season where you have to talk yourself into believing the obviously lovely player might make the leap in his third season while the rest of the league laughs at you.

Bill Simmons was an interesting, breath of fresh air as a columnist 20 years ago and then never evolved and was lapped by everybody. Like Kevin Smith if he was put in charge of a movie studio.

The difference, I think, is that Simmons knows what his wheelhouse is and leans into it. Kevin Smith thinks he is a loving genius

To be fair to Romo, A LOT of people liked Darnold and maybe if he didn't end up on the Jets...

That also isn't the first person I've heard compare Wilson to Mahomes either. "The Mormon Mahomes" and so on. Still, a lofty rear end comparison if I've ever seen one lol

Jets are probably like a 5 win team, which is a big improvement over last years tire fire. They just need to get through the year without killing Wilson and it'll be a success

I am more down on Allen than most people but he has probably legitimately improved enough that while he likely isn't going to repeat last year he should probably settle in at like a 61-63% completion percentage guy which is way better than it ever looked like he would be. Barring a total breakdown I don't think he is going to go back to being the bag of poo poo he was in 2018

Yeah, sure, but the question is basically whether the Bills need him to be MVP grade to win 12 games. If he's borderline pro bowl rather than borderline MVP, what happens?

Their defense should still be good enough and they don't have a particularly hard schedule. The hardest games they have outside the division are KC and TB/NO. They get two free wins against the Jets unless AFC East clown ball happens, and another freebie against the Texans. Jags aren't as much of a freebie as the Texans but they should still win that game pretty easily. The Colts are a good team but Carson Wentz sucks and who knows if he'll even make it till November lol

Lets say they split with the Patriots, sweep the Jets and split with Miami, they should still win against:

Texans, Jags, Colts, Panthers, Falcons, WFT

I'm gonna say they lose to KC and split with TB/NO

Titans game who knows. That team is kind of a mess, I want to say the Bills should win

So that puts them at 10-12 wins, with a little variance there for maybe dropping a game against like WFT, the Titans, or losing both of the Saints/Bucs games

Mike Reiss makes a good observation.

I really hate this idea that putting a talented player who fumbles the ball on the bench is somehow supposed to solve the problem. It's such a dumb-rear end old school tactic, it's maddening to watch.

Stevenson came back in after the fumble and got obliterated by Elandon Roberts on a blitz pickup that almost got Mac killed. It was the roughing the passer flag

That's when he got iced for good

The real reason for Pats fans to worry is the OL looks like rear end in pass protection. And Jones isn't holding the ball forever, the blocking often just eats poo poo right at the snap.

The lack of Trent Brown is a Big Deal lol
