I don't know why you're all excited.

NE has been shit at talent evaluation and needs new blood in the draft room.

Guy is a football savant. Bill and him meeting because they ended up at the same school and Ernie recognizing his name because he read his dad's book or books is insane. They know about as much football philosophy as 2 people on earth could have together. I could give a shit if they suck at drafting or not they seem to do alright collecting real trophies in February instead of being concerned with who got good draft grades in April and May. If this makes it more difficult for the Patriots then I am all for it.

The real question is ...
will he still be in the control room on game days?

^^This. Until that cheating SOB has a metaphorical stake through the heart and is shot a few times with silver bullets I won't believe that the Pats* are legit.

Bill didn't say he's retiring.

He's just no longer going to be involved with the draft, which gives him more time to focus on Sundays.

After 21 years, Ernie Adams is retiring from Patriots, says he now joins Patriots fans

Patriots coach Bill Belichick announced after the draft that it would be Ernie Adams’ last with the Patriots, and now Adams has confirmed he is retiring.

Adams, who was Belichick’s right-hand man as the team’s director of football research, says he now looks forward to being just a football fan.

The last 21 seasons with the New England Patriots have been extraordinary for me,” Adams said in a statement. “I am fortunate to have been part of a team along with Bill Belichick, outstanding colleagues, patient owners, and a lot of great players. It is time for me to stop working and join the many wonderful fans who have been with us for this run.”

Adams was a municipal bonds trader before he worked for Belichick, first in Cleveland and then in New England. It’s never been clear what, specifically, Adams does, but many of the methods that sports statistical analysts use are rooted in the same methods bond traders use to analyze economic data.
