What looks promising: Belichick has always been able to get the most out of talent and after last year's precipitous decline all over the roster, they've added a ton of guys up and down the roster that are + football players. Completely revamped one of the worst receiving corps from last year. What looks ominous: Cam, after 2 games last year looked nightmarishly bad. Mac Jones looks to be fairly un-inspiring as a rookie and most of the players coming back from a Covid year off are all in the decline phase age-wise. If they can't get average QB play, then nothing else matters for 2021, you aren't competing realistically. Keys to the season: Having Cam look *anything* like his old self or developing Mac Jones enough to get something approaching average QB play. I trust Belichick and McDaniels to get enough out of everyone else to compete, but QB is the issue for this team aside from health. Realistic best case scenario Defense is very good based off of an excellent secondary and enough injected talent to have a front that can disrupt offenses. Offense develops as the season progresses and can score enough points to keep them in games and they win a bunch of games like it's the early 2000's again. Realistic worst case scenario Cam looks like Cam of last year and can't hit the broad side of a barn. Mac isn't throwing to Alabama open receivers and the offense is dead in the water. Dont'a Hightower doesn't look like his old self and Judon looks like just a guy outside of Baltimore, and everyone just ignores our secondary to pick on a soft underneath My prediction Betting against Belichick is a good way to lose money, and this would probably easily be a 12-13 win team with Brady, so let's just say 10-7, wildcard and Mac Jones heroically overcomes all the odds to a Superbowl matchup against Tommy and his Bucs.
