So you trade Rowe because the DC

[Loki]

likes the older corners better. I get that. Sort of.


But for Pedey to say that he was also traded because of the win now mentality is a WTF moment. Doug, you're starting a rookie QB.

Don't like the rowe deal... Good chance it's a third rounder but... Too early, he showed some signs. If rowe can be dealt, what's saving agholor?

[Pete]

I think he's next

To go. If the other WRs show something in the first couple of weeks and Agholor continues to underwhelm, I could see him being moved and Turner brought up. Isn't Turner simply like an undrafted Agholor with better hands?

He's a fuckin' bufoon ... did he just actually say they traded him because they are interested in getting him playing time on another team?

[Loki]

I know, right? That one sort of floored me too.

Wow, tough crowd. How about we let him coach a season, or at least a regular season game, before casting aspersions at him?

All he has done so far is win.

[slag]

What has he won ... doofiest answer contests?

[slag]

Oh ... you mean preseason games.

Excuse me while I laugh harder.

[Loki]

And it's not like he didn't have time to think about...

the answers he would give.

[Melchior]

the answers he would give.

I'm pretty sure he was just searching for something positive to say. Schwartz has done everything short of literally taking a shit on Rowe since he got here.

He made it pretty clear that Rowe wasn't even remotely close to being a contributor, let alone starter.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Yep. The "gives him a chance to start on another team" angle is the smoke you blow at the player before you put your boot on his ass.

Rowe was in the doghouse from day 1 with Schwartz. And I think the defense really had too many CBs - or converted CBs - to have to work with developing somebody the coach feels can't be developed to his liking.

[slag]

That's not what he said ... he fumphed around with it.

On your other point ... think Belichick has a clue about defense?

[slag]

I get that, but he stumbled around with the concept and made it sound like he felt guilty about the trade and was reaching for answers.

As Loki wrote, he had time to think about what to say and could have expressed that concept without sounding like a doof.

EDITED TO ADD: If this is any indication of things to come, the pressers after bad beats will be brutal.

[BigSlizz]

The fact that someone wanted Rowe is saving Agholor.

[Susquehanna Birder]

I really don't think he's all that comfortable (or eloquent) in pressers. He doesn't seem to have a real sense of humor, so it will definitely be interesting to see how he is with the press hounds snapping at his feet.
