Years of terrible drafting got Belichick fired. Deciding that guys were having too much fun and weren't being serious enough got Belichick fired.

Bill the HC is HOF level. Bill the GM wouldn't cut it in the German league.
He had really been pretty bad at drafting for the last 15 years or so. It was just masked well by Brady and good coaching. But as a whole, his drafts have been trash for a long time. He does a solid job of finding defensive players but that's it.

Hope a new team invigorates him, sometimes you're staring at the same problem for too long, need to refocus

Also he hired Matt Patricia as an offensive coordinator for some inexplicable reason.

Whew. Was worried about Kyle trading for him to back up Brock.
4 of the 5 QB's drafted in the 1st RD of 2021 will be gone from their team before year 4 of their rookie deal.

The Brady pick was pure luck. Fifth round QB's are normally brought in to be training camp fodder and not much else. That was going to be Brock Purdy's role until Shanahan got the kid into a training camp and said "hold da phone!"
As for Mac Jones, a good system and good coaching might lead to some surprising results. He was thrown to the wolves in New England. The QB to replace that Brady guy. That hardly ever works, although Green Bay has shown some solid success at developing QB's in waiting.

What a crap draft and we sold the farm for QB3 of a terrible class, funny it was between Lance and Mac, and we preferred Lance. True order would go Fields, Mac, Lance. So we had it completely backwards

well, it was the ''Covid ,'' era . Hard to do try outs and face to face meetings. So ...whatever... but yeah it was a Covid year.
that draft class was dogsh*t BUT the niners did well in the late rounds with Elijah Mitchell.

I wouldn't say we had it completely backwards. From the limited time we've seen Lance play vs. Mac I definitely like Lance more. Mac is just so.... bland.

Mac went to a PB. This isn't even close. TL last, and the debate would be Mac v Fields in terms of pro accomplishment, to date.

Hey. We were proven right. A bunch of busts but we got the most back for ours.

Super glad we didn't pick him and even more glad we didn't trade for him.
Pats really screwed him over and set him up to fail.
Bad coaching has consequences.
Big contributing factor to Bellicheck's departure.

Yet no team thought that pro bowl was worth anything of significance. Says a lot.

Lol being like the 8th alternate is not impressive.
