I didn’t say that. But they know value when they see it. Smart teams get starters in all rounds.
Kraft was right. You can’t promise Garrapolo the starting job. For one thing at that point his body of work was too small to make guarantees and then there’s Brady.
I can’t get sick of greatness. The last time we’ve seen a team with this kind of run it was in the 6 team NHL. As for their division mates, don’t hold your breath. They’re all grossly mismanaged teams that won’t be good anytime soon. The Pats could sink to 0-16 and their division mates will still struggle to break 500 and whichever teams gets in the playoffs because somebody has to will lose in the first round. They aren’t held back by the Pats, they’re held back by bad owners who make crappy GM and coach decisions.
Me neither. I like Brady and the Pats championship organization, but I think the Eagles edge out the Pats in this one.
