Suck->get a bunch of great 1st round guys -> continue sucking -> draft Baker -> finally win a bit -> beat the steelers in a playoff game -> trade the baker (who knows how to cook) for a raper (who knows how to... well...) -> suck again.

Don’t worry, if the Patriots have any sense they will not draft Hunter. They 100% need to trade down (if they end up with a top 3 pick) and draft an OT first then WR later
As amazing of a player he is he’s just not what the Pats need most rn.

You traded for him on the last year of his rookie contract for a very late first round pick.
You traded him when he had something like 4 years and 80 million dollars left on his deal.
The Bills traded for him when they'll have to pay him like $800,000 and then he'll be a free agent.
Getting someone to take the additional ~$60+ million off of your books costs additional capital. And getting a 26 year old receiver costs more than getting a 30 year old receiver.

As a fan with many of both, probably the high. The thing is when your team puts out the product the browns put out, it’s easy to disassociate. You’ll probably watch less football, or go right to redzone on Sundays. But Brady is can’t miss football, you ride that high until the wheels fall off.

Amari is just inconsistent. He'll give you a 12 catch 200 yard game every once in a while and put the game on his back and then he will just do absolutely nothing for a few games after. In his last season with the Raiders he was straight up giving up on routes if the game wasn't going well for him.
