Weird that you'd hyper focus on that little bit of it, though. There are positional coaches and coordinators with their hand in the pot as well, not to mention, again, the uber important QB position. I just don't think many offensive players are going to look great playing in NE with Mac Jones.

Oh so coaching is why Tyquan Thornton, N'Keal Harry, Cole Strange, Isaiah Wynn, Mac Jones, etc. were busts?
It's a talent issue not coaching. Rhamondre Stevenson, probably there single good/recent offensive draft pick, is talented and a good football player, while those guys are not. You're trying to make this seem way more complicated than it is.
We aren't talking about some garbage organization with a history of destroying the careers of good football players. Quite the opposite.
He had McDaniels for most of those awful drafts I've been talking about, so it's not like his coaching was terrible on the side of the ball outside of last season.
If it were just a coaching isssue, you would've seen a lot of those offensive guys go elsewhere and looks better. That's what typically happens when the coaching is the problem.
This is nothing more than an excuse and a ****ing cop out, because you refuse to call a spade a spade. You wouldn't be doing this for any other GM with an awful draft history of almost a decade now.

More like "none of the guys he drafted while he was in New England would have been drafted here" actually.
And I don't think a bust will suddenly become a hit here, but a below average starter might become serviceable or a average starter might become a plus starter.

Belichick drafts HIS guys. He has a very specific type, and he doesn't stray away from that type. Cole Strange would've been sitting in his lap in KC, just like every other one of HIS guys that he's reached for over the years.
He passed on McDuffie (and Karlaftis actually) to trade back with us and take Cole ****ing Strange. If he were actually good at this, and knew how good McDuffie was going to be, that doesn't happen.
