Potential as to what the Borg could have been, perhaps, but in regards to the Borg as they were established as existing IMHO the sendoff they got was as good as they could have plausibly expected to get. They were painted as blind blundering masses of power to be outwitted or--alternatively--shot to bits using soon-to-be-defeated technologies. There's only so many places you can go with that.
I wouldn't blame Picard. Earth's fate as an eventual Borg target was arguably inevitable as soon as that Borged Earth transport escaped Sol system and sent that subspace message into the Delta Quadrant.
