Their system simply does not work that way.
The Corey Dillon and Randy Moss acquisitions were initially questionable. Your implication that the physically talented mentally (emotionally) deficient acquisitions negates the possibility that Patriot successes on the field are a result of good coaching as opposed to having great physical talent.
The Patriots won w/out Corey Dillon and w/out Randy Moss. They win because of the Program in place.
It seems from here that you have really not been paying a lot of attention to this organization during the last 8 years or so.
Detroit should pick up TO and Pacman. God knows they need the help.
They won’t take Jones. Too much baggage. They will take a flyer on some guys but only if they think they can make it work and the player is told outright that if he acts up then he’s gone.
They have won because they cheated.
