I get that the Patriots have had some mighty shitty drafts but pro bowl to me is not the way to evaluate that .I'm not sure what the right way is. maybe who the team signed to a second contract or something like that.
The Pats had mostly high draft picks which of course gave them less of a chance to pick someone who was going to be an All Star. It's easier to pick an All Star with the first few picks than the last few.I get that the Patriots have had some mighty shitty drafts but pro bowl to me is not the way to evaluate that .I'm not sure what the right way is maybe who the team signed to a second contract or something like that.
That’s why I’ve always been pro-tanking when we are out of it.The Pats had mostly high draft picks which of course gave them less of a chance to pick someone who was going to be an All Star. It's easier to pick an All Star with the first few picks than the last few.
It's bizarre, given all that has gone down, but the only coach on that staff who's given any real reason to come back is the OC (and maybe T.J. McCartney). And the front office hasn't given any reason to keep it around, either.
The RBs & TEs coaches deserve to stay; and I'd be willing to give the DLC another year too. He at least has a track record...
At this point looking back it really does highlight the shit job Kraft did at turning the team over from the BB era. He kept the same FO people, most of the coaches were here under BB, AVP is different sure okay.. The D is Bills D, just without his expertise. It's like Bill left a Walmart roster that he was able to coach up to Target level, at least on Defense.. and now that Walmart roster is being coached down to Dollar Tree going out of business sale.I've seen absolutely nothing to indicate that the RB coach should stay, as I've found the position disappointing this season, and the TEs have been what was expected, nothing more, so I don't find a positive reason to keep either, though I've got nothing against bringing back the TE coach.
kraft wanted to prove that bill was the problem. otherwise it's fucking stupid not to get rid of everybody major and start over.At this point looking back it really does highlight the shit job Kraft did at turning the team over from the BB era.

In hindsight, I kinda wish he'd just ripped the bandaid off and rebooted the entire staff. Problem is I'm not sure I still trust old man Kraft
