If you think the Patriots are tanking for Trevor Lawrence, you need to wake up and realize that’s just not happening.
Maybe New England is just really, really bad in 2020 and they’ll have the opportunity to take the Clemson quarterback or another top-tier gun slinger in next year’s draft, but that’s not Bill Belichick’s MO at the moment. Or likely ever.
Even though Tom Brady and a number of key players have left Foxboro this offseason and even though the AFC East got stronger and even though the AFC as a whole starting with the Chiefs and Ravens got even better, the Pats head coach is still going to treat this season like any other.
