Mayo 8:30 press conference (Edit: Names Brissett the starter)

[Real fan 02]

Mayo didn’t have a say in the plan. AVP and Wolf put the plan together. The plan will change only if AVP and Wolf want to change the plan.

Mayo just a spokesman at this point.

I think we win in Cincy. Marcus will take a punt to the house and that will be the big difference.

Love The optimism! I keep saying week 1s can go anyway. STs will be key.

On D .. cincy doesn't have mixon anymore... put Gonzo on Higgins, J. Jones and Hawkins on chase.

Make Burrow check down.

I’m sure this is great news for the development of our “young” receiver group! (NOT!)

FWIW Brissett has a W in Arrowhead as a Colt over the Mahomes Chiefs. Can’t remember how good their OL was.

Week 8 with JB...

I guess I would question whether this was actually the "plan". Yeah, I'm sure Jacoby came in as the defacto starter, as any veteran should over a rookie. But if Maye had shown immediate command, I think there was definitely a path to him winning the job. I think there was a competition, it's just not always easy for a 21 year old rookie to beat out a 9 year veteran right away. And what we see in preseason isn't the whole story. I've seen breakdowns of Maye's film that show he's got some things to clean up first.

And (thought they'd never admit this publicly), I think they want to get their house in order a bit first before Maye steps in. Mayo first time head coach, AVP and Covington first time (basically) playcallers, and an OL that's still in flux. It's not that they don't care if Jacoby fails or gets hurt, but getting him mentally prepared to play is one less thing they have to worry about while finding their footing. The competition is about more than who completes the most passes. There's a LOT going on behind the scenes that we just don't have access to.

Never once did I think that Maye was going to be the starter or that there was even a competition. I thought it was obvious. I'm just excited that we have a possible QB in Maye.

Ok can fragile Marcus even get on the Field??

Week 8 with JB...

Marcus probably is our second best CB.. but as you said.. he's always dealing with something

You think the HC isn't making the decision on the starting QB? That's preposterous.

That's what pisses me off we'll Never see the true potential of Tquan T now because we have QB who's scared and can't throw it deep accurately.

That's my binky

Here is what you do if you are Mayo:

You tell Elliot Wolf, AVP, Bob Kraft, Robin Glazer, Johnathan Kraft, and whoever else wants to meddle that you are starting Maye and if they don't like it, they can fire you.

You've got all the leverage because the Patriots are NOT going to make themselves look like fools by firing a head coach that wants to play the best player.

But Mayo left his balls in Robin Glazer's purse instead.

 

[PatsFan2]

That's my binky

I know many fans hate it, but it is the right move to go with Brissett. The Pats aren't doing anything year. It is about trying to make Drake Maye the next Josh Allen or better. Not win in 2024.

Joe Burrow is my Second best QB in the league Real after Mahomes he'll tear us a new one. Just get up two scores on NE and Game over.

Rob the Development of our Young Skilled players is very important Pop Douglas - Thornton - Polk - Baker and Boutte need a QB like Maye to make them happen...JB won't move the needle this is Mac Jones all over again a QB's who hinders the development and growth of other players. JB doesn't move the needle he is what he is a journeyman backup.

I really don't think most fans that feel this way realize how ugly this is going to get if/when they start losing games due to poor offensive line play, or poor WR play, or poor QB play. The team has alienated itself from the fan base, and this could get VERY ugly very quickly.

 

[varjao]

Mayo is just buying time, they need to figure out that O-Line best formation in real games, you guys are too desperate.

Let's have some patience with Mayo.

We have our QB, we sucked enough last year to secure a great draft spot and got the 2nd best QB in the class, remember many folks around here and in the media last year didn't believe the Pats was that bad to get a top 3 pick, well thanks Mac, Bill and Ryland. Washington bit the bait and got Daniels who won't be the answer imho. When we fell to 3 or 4 in the draft order I felt we lost Maye but in the end he fell to us. We have our QB now it's just about the process.

 

[lancerman]

I don't think it's a record thing. I think it's a Maye is ready thing.

This.

1. Is Maye ready

2. Is the line competent enough to not get him killed.

Then you start him. The record is incidental this year. Maye or no Maye is not getting a playoff spot with this team
