Personally I prefer patriot's fans who don't gloat when the Patriots lose because they won an argument on the internet.

- a guy who has never voiced an opinion on Mac.
Same. I have been pretty neutral. Hopeful, but not strident either way.

The fucking victory lapping is crazy. Nasty and unpleasant even for BBTL.

Well, that's what I mean. People have been trying to talk themselves into believing Mac is good despite the fact he's a noodle arm with horrid mechanics and a ten-cent head.
He's also immensely unlikeable. Too many dubious incidents involving alleged cheap shots. Lack of poise on the sidelines. Entitlement.

But Bob Kraft should take a long, hard look in the mirror. He's enabled this.

Oh, there's one very prominent Mac Jones fanboys. Guess you missed all the "difference between Mac and Brady are the weapons" discourse this past week.
Jesus sounds like I picked a good time to be on vacation.

Edit: Aside from coming home in time for this game, of course.
Actually, the prominent "fanboys" are all saying that Mac is an unknown quantity because of the team's deficiencies elsewhere. Turns out that deficiencies can occur in multiple positions at once.

The Coney Island of my mind
I have never had a higher opinion of Tom Brady than I do today a year after he’s actually retired.

Every coach that has left NE has basically sucked with a couple of decent years here and there at best. No serious winning.

And now the guy who seemed to have all the secret sauce can’t even get them to stop making basic errors of formation and getting plays off. I was like a 60/40 BB guy and it’s crystal clear to me at this point that it was probably closer to 90/10 Brady. Feels like there can be no other explanation
Some of it is the league leaving BB in the dust in terms of an approach to building and running an offense that can win in today's league.

How did Kraft enable anything? Mac objectively had a decent year for a rookie QB in 2021 and has been bad since. That's not on Kraft.

Are the receivers unknown quantities because the team is deficient at QB? Funny how that perspective is never brought up.

True but quarterbacks occupy over 15% of the salary yet only 4% of the roster space hinting they maybe 4 times as likely to contribute to suckitude
