Since March, Fans have called for Trades of Edelman, James White, Marcus Cannon, David Andrews, Joe Thuney, Shaq Mason, Hightower, Devin McCourty, JC Jackson, Johnathan Jones, Patrick Chung, and Stephon Gilmore.
This is manly comprised of fans who want the team to tank for Trevor Lawrence. In the NFL, we have seen time after time that just because a guy is a star in college doesn't mean he will be a star in the NFL.
Humoring the people who want all these trades as part of the Tank for Trevor movement; who's going to protect Trevor if you get him? By trading away the entire defense, do you know how much extra pressure you're putting on Lawrence.
There's no guarantee that the Patriots can replace all the talent that you're calling for the Patriots to give up for the quarterback. It's extremely reckless. While Belichick is Smart and a calculated risk taker, he is not gonna risk mortgaging both the present and the future on that kinda gamble.
Belichick has the Patriots currently in the best position to get Trevor Lawrence if Stidham turns out to be a bust. Belichick at the same time is giving Stidham a chance to show he was the best quarterback in the 2019 draft class and that his 2018 season was a fluke.
Yes, the Patriots are strapped for cash in 2020 but the Patriots have not been renegotiating contracts. They have players they can make contract moves with to free up cash. Plus, the Patriots are expecting camp battles; Especially on offense.
None of us got to see what kinda difference there was with Stidham at practice last year. We know Brady didn't want to work with the younger and inexperienced players. The offensive line is healthy and so is the defense.
Be patient and wait and stop asking Belichick to sink the titanic, just so the Patriots can get another first officer. The Patriots were once the laughing stock of the league and as we have seen with too many teams, they can easily fall back into obscurity.
