Patriots having a projected top 3 pick is a foreign language to fans like myself. Was born in 2001 and all I’ve known is the Patriots being competitive. Things eventually have to change though and now it’s time to rebuild.
But for the older Patriots fans who witnessed the low years before the dynasty, how does this team compare to them? We had some real stinker years in 90 and 92 winning 3 games combined. Along with a few years of 5-11 and 6-10 throughout those times as well.
Is this the lowest you’ve seen or it still doesn’t compare to some of the pre Brady era Patriots?
A great QB certainly helps. But what we have is light years away from an even mediocre QB. A mid level QB that’s capable of playing really good with a solid team around him might be enough. We have a terrible QB, an O line that is close to terrible when it comes to pass blocking and a receiving corp that only recently graduated from terrible because of a 6th round rookie. When taking into the era they play in, this team is worse than the bad Patriot teams of the 80s & 90s.
