Very Early 2024 Patriots Draft Talk

[Yankee Traveler]

There’s a reason Julio was making 22 million a year and Jules 6 million.

There's also a reason Bill says separation and catch the ball.

Jules, Danny Amendola, Chris Hogan, Brandon LaFell, Malcolm Mitchell etc...

None were overpaid but all could get separation and catch the ball.
For the number of Lombardi's Jones helped bring to Atlanta, or any other city, maybe he didn't deserve that paycheck.

He did help bring a Lombardi to Atlanta until several players combined to choke it away. I'll never forget the catch that should have sealed a game that became the greatest SB comeback ever.

It takes a team to win and any player who loses can often be explained simply as being on the wrong team.

What happened to Bill wanting WR’s who can separate? We have no one.

All those WR’s you listed are JAG’s. Made to look good because of Brady.

How did those great wr’s play before or after Brady/patriots? How did Jules look in his 6 games after Brady left? 3 catches a game for about 50 yards. He’s so good he should have made Cam look serviceable…. But he didn’t.

Exactly.
And Diva WR's who want $22 mil take away available $$ from other players and positions.

You end up with a few great players attempting to carry the rest of the team.

Mac can't throw the ball down field with any accuracy so the defense is able to compress the zones. Super simple.

Cam? Referred to so many times as Scam Newton before he got here?
He was toast before Bill tried to use him as a bridge. He couldn't throw with his bad shoulder either.

Haa!!!

And the reason Jules retired after that year was his knees were as bad as Cam's shoulder.
Happens when you play balls out like he did.

Maybe Jules could have played longer if he used more of those PED’s he got suspended for.

 

[BigKen]

Apparently none of us knew or know that Bill Belihick got a very lucrative new contract this past summer.

Doesn't look like BB is going anywhere.

Maybe.

The world will never know.

Too much Jules bashing for my taste. He was instrumental to team success. I wouldn’t have “traded” Edelman for any player, the true definition of a warrior, IMO.

Are you slapping yourself? Haha

Okay

Hey man Jules had the jewels, know what I mean? Ha

I’ve said numerous times in this thread. I love Julian. Great on the field. Funny as hell off the field. But to put him over or even close to Julio Jones is so wrong.

Different positions and expectations. Julio is great, but the “Jones” name is somewhat overcrowded. … Jones to Jones, Jones with sack, Jones with with INT, fwiw

And to say Jules was a better playoff WR…. Not so fast.

Jules had 19 playoff games
Julio had 10 playoff games

Jules 6.2 catches per game.
Julio 7.4 catches per game.
Advantage Julio

Jules averaged 75 yards per game.
Julio averaged 97 yards per game.
Advantage Julio

Jules averaged .3 TD’s per game.
Julio averaged .7 TD’s per game.
Advantage Julio

Jules played in 9 more playoff games yet only has 1 more TD.

Julio was better in the regular season and Julio was better in the playoffs. Not his fault he played for the Falcons and not the Patriots.

You seem to have a hard on for Julio, especially when talking about the past and things that never happened. It is pure conjecture on your part. Relax, sit back and enjoy buddy.

I’m not sure what the fuck you are talking about????? I think Julio is a much better WR than Jules and I’m proving it over and over to the nay sayers . There is no conjecture on my part. Just stats that prove what I’m saying.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Might be a good thing we are playing ourselves out of drafting him. Those aren’t good stats.

Good for you. Bravo.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Good for you. Bravo.

I know right! Thanks Dude. Sometimes i feel like I’m arguing with a 10 year old with downs.
