Who wants Brady benched for Lamar Jackson? No ones saying that.
Most want a young QB successor in place. And as far as I can see, Jackson’s done pretty damn well. Odd to try and deflect his potential to try and defend the Michel pick, but okay.
How exactly would any of Jacksons supposed potential fit in the offense that is run in NE and the players that are around ?
He is as bad of a fit for the classic Patriots offense as it gets. If you want to rebuild the offense to fit him more you will have to do so with the entire offense including a QB3 that can backup Jackson and run that changed offense in case Lamar gets injured.
Similarly if you don't want to bench Brady then there is no point in advocating for a QB over a RB. One of the two can help in the next 2-3 years. The others requires a total rebuild.
What I think it comes down to is that picking a QB just to pick one is worse than pointless. The Pats have repeatedly demonstrated that if a QB they believe in is available they'll draft and develop him. I'm sure they're aware that they need to, and presumably they're waiting for the opportunity to get a guy who they believe they can develop into a real asset.
Listen I agree it’s best to find the right match than throw darts at the board and hope for the best, but if you take a look at all the QBs drafted this year, there is a giant crop of talent that has preformed well in their rookie season.
I just find it hard to believe that not one of them wasn’t a fit for this system. Again, we have a 41 year old QB. To not have someone in place at this point is bad planning towards the future.
Let this sink in...Brady barely has 50 yards passing in this half. That has got to be his lowest ever in a half or close to it. I refuse to believe he has gone so far down since just last year. Something else is going on .

The gameplan is heavy run based in the first half at least. A couple of drops, an interception and some missed throws and there you go. Would you feel better if we were 14:0 up with 150+ yards of passing but no run game ?

Honestly, could they have lost 17-10 at Pittsburgh and been up 14-0 today with Hoyer? What has Brady done these last 2 games other than hit a wide open Hogan for a TD?
