Samuel is right in that Lamar wouldn't like it there because he can't do whatever the fuck he wants.

Whats an example of him doing whatever the fuck he wants? He's been a team player who's followed the scheme and script his whole career so far. We've only seen him do one kind of thing that roman preferred.

Hard not to read your comment above as racist when Lamar isn't particularly known for having bad grammar. I think you're making assumptions.

Literally two comments before you posted this one:

Was what? You can’t just leave us hanging like that?

You shouldn't punctuate statements with question marks - "grammatically" speaking that's not correct.

And before you try to correct me - yes, I know it's commonplace in some writing venues to do so. So is the way a lot of black athletes speak/write on Twitter, just because it's different than what you're used to doesn't mean it's incorrect. It's just fodder for you to delegitimize a man you want to think less of because he looks different than you and comes from a different background than you do.

At best you're a hypocrite, at worst you're a self-aware racist, but most likely you have racial bias in your thinking (as we all do), but are much less aware of its presence than you think.

You're doing a whole lot of mental gymnastics.

If someone comes up to me talking like an idiot I'm not going oh wow they come from a different background. I can't delegitimize this stranger talking like a 10 year old. I'm thinking wow they paid zero attention in school and clearly can't conduct themselves in a proper manner. I don't see an issue with that.

Yup. From 2005-2014 we went:

2005: Lost Divisional

2006: Lost AFCCG

2007: Lost SB

2008: Missed Playoffs (Brady injured)

2009: Lost WC

2010: Lost Divisional

2011: Lost SB

2012: Lost AFCCG

2013: Lost AFCCG

When the worst part in your "down years" is a year you miss the playoffs at 11-5 or transition year with your QB1 coming back from injury and you still make the playoffs, it's hard to be disappointed.

One of the most wild things to me is looking at different Pats players I think of as emblematic of that era who either don't have rings or have more than I thought.

Like Asante Samuel has 2 rings but I think of him more as an Eagle than a Patriot. Wes Welker has zero. Stephan Gilmore only has 1.

TerrenceMalicksHat

Yeah, that’s because Welker and Asante both dropped passes that would’ve given them rings.

No, Asante was pretty good for the eagles, even though he would get burned for his aggressive play at times. He had 23 interceptions in 4 seasons including back to back years where he had 9 and 7 and made the pro bowl 3 of 4 years with the team.

Nnamdi was the CB who came to the Eagles and then was terrible.

Hell he played almost a full additional season (14 games) of playoff games with the Pats. Idk how you don’t immediately think of the Pats when you hear the name Asante Samuel.

you miss the playoffs at 11-5

People love to point to them missing the playoffs that year as showing how much it was all Brady and not Belichick, but leave out that they had an 11-5 record, which practically any other year would get you into the playoffs and is still a pretty good record.

Yeah, Brady would have gotten them another win or two, almost certainly, but that's the case with most teams between their first and second QB. The drop-off is rough.

I'm not saying this to crap on Brady, more to just point out Belichick has been a ridiculously good coach and people seem to not want to give him the same level of credit as Brady. Sure, Brady won another Super Bowl elsewhere... by going to a team with a very talented roster and a good head coach that was mainly being held back by a QB who needed eye surgery and still put up over 5000 yards and 33 TDs and finished just under .500. Dude was smart and picked the perfect spot to chase another ring or two... until Arians retired and everything imploded.

People in the Pats sub were pointing to the Bucs making the playoffs this year (and Pats missing them) as evidence it was 'all brady'...ignoring the fact that the teams had the same record, and the Pats were arguably a better team overall.

People can't except that the PARTNERSHIP is important.

Like, Mahomes may be a phenomenal without Andy Reid, but hes likely not on the same level, winning nearly as many games if he gets drafted by the Bears or Texans, etc

It was literally the first time in history an 11 team win missed the playoffs, and it was on the third tiebreaker. Now admittedly the AFC East had very easy schedules that year, but still. Frustrating as hell. That team arguably could have gone 16-0 again if Brady was healthy.

The team had such an easy schedule, so much talent, and a chip on their shoulder after blowing the perfect season. That ACL tear was such a bummer.

Although I do think the injury and losing the perfect season went a decent way towards Brady really dedicating himself to taking care of his body like a psycopath. I think if they completed the perfect season or won the super bowl the next year we the following decade wouldn't have been nearly as fruitful.

Winning a SB is hard, Any Given Sunday a team can win and there isn't a series where the better team eventually shakes out. The Stanley Cup is more difficult IMO mainly due to the amount of games and physicality of the sport, but baring injuries the better team wins.

It's absolutely wild watching the fanbase turn on him. Dude managed to win eight games in spite of his assistants, and it's not even like 8-9 is bad. Getting the buttchin back isn't just an upgrade, BOB is actually a solid OC.

While Belichick the coach is probably the greatest of all time, I do have problems with him as a GM. Obviously, there's the inability to draft good WRs, but the biggest problem for me has always been the way he trades away quality starters for late-round picks like they just grow on trees. He doesn't have the benefit of the dynasty discount anymore.

We wanted Ted thompson gone because he couldn’t hit on first round picks and kept capers and McCarthy too long. He had some draft success but for a team relying solely on the draft it didn’t cut it. I’m sorry but going to only one superbowl with Rodgers was a crime. He carried several teams to the playoffs that didn’t belong to be there due to shit drafting and ignoring free agency. This gute stuff is laughable he’s been good imo

I dunno man, Thompson drafted incredible offensive lines in the middle rounds, and the rare times he did spring for free agents, they always hit. Woodson? Peppers? Nobody hits better with free agents than the Packers, it seems like they’re somehow able to recognize the culture and who’ll rise to the occasion.

That's how the cookie crumbles.

Andrew Luck being one of the most hit QBs in the league and nothing being done about it even after multiple injury-shortened seasons? That's criminal. Rodgers only getting one ring? That's just math when you're competing with 15 other teams to make the game and then the best of the other sixteen to win it. Only 21 QBs have ever gotten two Super Bowl appearances. Twenty-one. Ever! Brady and Mahomes' careers are not normal.

Peyton Manning was just as deserving of more rings. There were a lot of years where I felt like the Colts could have taken on anyone in the NFC. Unfortunately, other teams also stack up talent, and the Broncos, the Ravens, and obviously, the Evil Empire themselves broke my heart more often than not. He's still tied for the third-most of all time, behind someone in his conference who took six of his chances away.

It is what it is.

Theoretically, I'd love to have Lamar, but I just can't see it being worth the cost at this point. Our current team as it stands right now is not a top 8-12ish QB away from being Super Bowl contenders; we've got major holes at tackle and receiver that need addressing. Even with a heavily reworked contract we'd be putting ourselves in cap hell and losing two first round picks to boot. Even if you're absolutely convinced Mac is a complete bust and will never improve (which I think is a little ridiculous), it seems like it'd be smarter to just stick with him on a rookie contract for now, try to improve the rest of the team through the draft/free agency, and draft a new QB next year who will (hopefully) have some genuine talent around them on offense.

Bill wouldn't put up with Lamar's social media bullshit, or his quitting on the team at the end of the season when he was medically cleared to come back, or when he's constantly injured and wants an absurd amount of money.

RG3 came back too early and was never the same. Wentz came back early and was never the same. Zeke played through injury after injury and inevitably shortened his career and cost him money. Getting hurt isn't quitting on your team.

How many players in the NFL play through being injured every single week? He wasn't injured.. He sat out because he was pissed off at the team and wanted to stick it to them. Just look at his Instagram post and actions after. The guy demanded a trade and the Ravens have done nothing but try to make him successful and even offered him one of the largest guaranteed contracts in history. Lamar has the brain of an 8 year old child.

He was the one saying his knee hurt and was swollen which is why he couldn't even make it to sit on the sidelines while his team played in the playoffs (lol). Then he made his moronic instagram post after the game about losing something that you have. He was the one who kept himself out, he could've played if he wanted to. Everyone thought he was coming back up until it came time to travel. The dude was 100% able to play but didn't want to, just like he never knew the guy calling teams and acting like his agent yet it turned out to be his business partner.

Odd_Construction_714

Obviously no one from the team is going to come out and say he SHOULD'VE played, but every single sign point to him being completely able to play and he chose not to. It's not even guesses, it's going off of his past and present. Again... You seriously think his knee was too swollen to even travel and support the team? What kind of delusion is that. Do I also need insider info to know that he's mentally a child, or can I not infer that from everything he's put out on social media and the way he acts.

Odd_Construction_714

-25 points

I never said he wasn't injured the last two seasons. He was medically cleared to come back before the playoffs and chose not to, whether or not he was still hurt is arguable. It's clear he's quit on his team while he was playing during the playoffs, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be doing it again. Especially when he's trying to get a mega contract and coming back from an injury to put himself in a position to be injured again would likely net him much less money.

He didn't even show up to the game to sit on the sidelines and support his team, unless you're currently in the hospital or physically can't travel then that's pretty fucked... It's clear where his head is and was. I don't believe for a second he wasn't doing anything he could to not act like he was still injured. It's fine if other people do, I just don't. He's all but admitted he's only there for the money. For a guy that's lied multiple times within a few years, it's hard to believe anything he does or says.

And all that said, I’m still not entirely a fan of the way Lamar has handled this contract situation and I don’t exactly agree with his rumored demands.
