Agreed. I still don’t think any of his WRs are remotely special, but they’re good enough to make it clear to me that they aren’t the problem. Add that to the fact that he can no longer claim that the OC is calling middle school plays, and I think I’ve seen enough. I doubt there’s a better option available rn, but this guy sure as shit ain’t the long-term answer.
are they in cap hell from Brady or something? It makes no sense that they have such little talent
They paid Brady shit money for so long, and he took it for so long for the good of the team, that they were able to put talent around him. Didn't hurt that he was the greatest player ever. Now they're still trying to be cheap, but it won't work anymore without a transcendent talent. That's exactly why Brady left. He asked for a fair market value and Belichick said no. Bill cannot let the high paid players be the star, because he wants the story to be his genius coaching. Bill still thinks he can build a roster of 8th round picks and former lacrosse players who have HEART, and this is what you end up with. Julian Edelman is nobody on another team.
Having said that, all other recent rookie QBs were given elite receivers at some point. Tua got Tyreek, Raw Josh got Diggs, Burrow has Jamarr Chase. Jones has a broken ass Juju and some randos. Would he be less stupid if he had a legit #1? Hard to say, but if Bill refuses to give him one and ride this out, he's going to fail miserably.

it makes no sense. It definitely looks to an outsider like I’m going to win my way with my types of players

It makes total sense when you have Tom Brady and he can cover up a lot of GM Bill's nonsense. If you're still on the fence with the Bill vs. Tom argument, you need your head examined.
