It wouldn't shock me if they win 11 games.

It also wouldn't shock me if they're 8-9 again.

So you got to tell me, how many games will Lamar play?

and was last year an aberration, just banged up, so that looked weird.

Part of what makes Lamar special, this is what Deshaun Watson forgot.

This is what, obviously, Jalen Hurts forgets.

You're a dual-threat guy, and when Lamar's humming as a dual-threat guy, he's unstoppable.

I mean, some of those plays he made in that final game against Pittsburgh, it was like, holy shit.

That one play where he scrambled out and threw that touchdown, granted, blown coverage, but one of the most incredible behind-the-line-of-scrimmage plays you'll ever see.

Question for the mailbag.

Thoughts on the Pats draft and offseason?

Seems like the majority of opinion is a big regression, but the roster has improved on paper.

No major departure.

Year three, Drake.

Year two coaching staff.

Schedule will be a lot tougher.

Not saying they should be a Super Bowl favorite, but better than a borderline playoff team.

Also, you mentioned now it's time for GMs such as Joe Shane could be fired.

When GMs are fired, does the entire scouting department end up on the hot seat?

Looks like Joe Shane's going to survive.
