I think Dalton could get a 2 & 5 as trade. Realistically a 3rd & 5th would be fair.
Brady hasn't carried the Patriots for a little bit now.
He's on 4 straight years of sharply dropping QB Rating, Yards Per Game, Yards Per Attempt, and Completion %.
Last year they won the SB 13-3 and Brady had 0 TDs and 1 Turnover. What's carried the Patriots lately is their scoring defense.
Pats Scoring D
2019: 1st
2018: 7th
2017: 5th
2016: 1st
In 2019, the Patriots had the...
1st scoring defense
1st overall defense
1st in INTs
1st in PDef
1st in 1st Downs per game allowed
1st in 3rd Down conversion %
7th in Fumbles Recovered
7th in sacks
They allowed only 14.1 points per game (2nd place allowed 16.2), and only let team convert 24% of their 3rd downs (2nd place defense allowed 33%). It was a historically good defense this year.
