Allen Park — We’ll be hearing a lot about the Patriot Way in the coming weeks and months.

But the best way to describe it is it’s the only way once you’re a part of it.

And now that the Lions are, with the hiring of Bob Quinn, who spent the last 16 years in the Patriots organization, as their new general manager, it’s only a matter of time before we see it.

Monday, we heard our first snippets of it, in Quinn’s “Bahston” accent and in his unadorned answers. But we also heard it as he explained, mostly in broad strokes, both his views of and his vision for this football team.
