Winless Patriots Trade For Elite Playmaker The New England Patriots are 0-4 to start the season. It’s been rough for the Patriots but they’ve showed potential. One reason this team has been unable to convert wins is due to an inefficient offense. QB Caleb Williams has thrown for a disastrous 3TD/13INT, and the team is last in scoring with only 14.5 points per game. Some analysts speculated before the season that the Patriots weak WR core would hold them back. Are their receivers not good enough or is Caleb Williams just making bad decisions? We’re about to find out. The Patriots have made a splash and traded a 2nd and 3rd round pick to the Raiders for WR Christian Kirk. A dynamic playmaker and strong route runner, he fills the needed role of slot receiver for this team and will be a great target for years to come. Now that the Patriots have made a move to bolster their young receiving core, the shift focuses back to Williams. If the offense is still low scoring and turnover prone then he’s out of excuses. If he shines with his new receiver, then the Patriots could still make a comeback for a playoff spot. A Patriots fan commented on Twitter, “I’m out on Caleb Williams already and hope we draft a QB next year, but I’m excited for Kirk either way.”
