They had good/great draft runs in a couple of patches. They just followed that up with bad stretches, which isn't really surprising, because GM work is largely hit and miss. But there's no question that Brady made it easier for Belichick to take gambles on picks against the advice of the scouts, and he did it a lot.
The Chiefs, because of Mahomes, are one of the teams now in position to do that same sort of thing, if they choose. [Reply]
Houston Texans now officially have hired former Patriots’ exec Nick Caserio as their general manager, as @McClain_on_NFL said they would. The man they tried to hire in 2019 is hired in 2021.
Go back in time to 2013. The Chiefs have finally fired Pioli after years of protest by fans begging for a culture change. Clark Hunt goes out and hires not Andy Reid but......... Bill O Brien. That's how Texans fans feel right now. Fuck me. [Reply]

Yep. The NfL should have kept the name, colors and history there like Cleveland did the Browns [Reply]
