The Patriots’ need for a starting quarterback is well known. This is a high-priority category on the team’s offseason to-do list.
A few points below the importance counter is how they provide the remaining terrace room. What is the composition of this department? Can you catch Mac Jones? Bailey jab? Or do you prefer to collect a completely new device? Whether you do that or not, if you’re recruiting a quarterback, you’re expected to have a seasoned, experienced quarterback to help him out of the bullpen.
And skillfully mix it up until the new players are ready.Last season there was no veteran presence and no sounding board for Jones and Zappé. Would it have been helpful to have a veteran able to help Jones in his struggles?Instead, the Patriots stuck with Jones, who was benched four times, and eventually turned to Jaffe, who didn’t show much in practice.
So it took a long time to get through. In addition to an experienced back-up who can immediately take over and keep the team together, there is also a big seniority factor. Brian Hoyer was that man. It especially helped Jones in his first year. He never replaced that he did not wear a meal with patriots that could go to the lowest place last year.
He did not receive a quarter paper with experience to strengthen Jones and ZappppPped or helped him use everything in Jones. Having a qualified caller is a little under the radar, but still necessary. If the Patriots are going to get a quarterback with the third pick, this is a must. Think of the Houston Texans.They drafted CJ Stroud with the second overall pick. They drafted Davis Mills in the second round of the 2021 draft.
They added veteran Case Keenum, who was technically a third-string quarterback. Texas General Manager of the Year. Nick Caserio called Keenum up to the injured quarterback squad, knowing the veteran was a proven backup. But Caserio didn’t bite for what led to the Day 3 pick. He didn’t want to let Keenum down.
He knew how much the veteran meant to Stroud. During the year, Keenum Stroud turned the ball over for the Texans, who made the playoffs despite being sidelined by injuries. Stroud, unfazed by winning Rookie of the Year honors, called Keenum a “blessing” to have around him.”I definitely knew that’s what I needed — that guidance and that confidence,” Stroud told reporters at training camp last year. It helps if this fourth room is a safe haven and nurturing environment.
There was a chill in the room during the Patriots incident last season, and Jones and Jaffe are not close friends. Keenum understood that dynamic when he signed with the Texans this offseason. He recently published this on SI.com. “Rule number one is ready to go,” Keenum said. “But with CJ and Davis, I think a healthy defensive back room is good.
And if the fourth house is on the same page about a lot of things, it tends to improve everyone’s life. How to look at the defense, how to press, how to see different plays, how to attack the defense and even how to hang. . “We have a good relationship with the teachers. We host a weekly dinner on the 4th of July and we raise a lot. It was a good year. And I really enjoy working with CJ.
Working together. He is a wonderful young man, very mature. And I’ve enjoyed meeting him and watching him play this year. I think it’s a generational talent… it’s special. He is a very good person.”The hope is that the Patriots will acquire another generational talent with the no. 3. That’s when it’s important to do everything you can to help your starting quarterback succeed.
It offers an innovative receiver. Strengthen the offensive line. And make sure you have veterans who can act as a stabilizing force. Jacoby Brissett is a free agent. It fits the profile perfectly. If the Patriots get a mobile quarterback in the draft, Tyrod Taylor would be another.
There is quite a list of things to do in Mayo. But once the smoke clears and a new offensive coordinator comes on board, they’ll have to look hard to make sure the new quarterback has a mentor in the room.
