Dude, you know you're just a placeholder for the real future of this team. I mean, you "won" the starting job and you're getting paid millions. Good for you. But this isn't some validation for you as a player.

I wasn't a fan of the total media lockdown Belichick had on the team for two decades but c'mon with this stuff. The only time I want to hear that the QB cried is if he was carted off with a broken leg and even then I wouldn't like it.

They just won and Brissett played well for what he was asked to do. Odd timing for a post like this.

No, this is the correct time.

As somebody who grew up watching soccer and seeing players regularly cry after important games, I never understood the phobia of crying in our North American sports.

All it shows is how much the player cares. I always like seeing it in my teams. I would rather that than players who smile and laugh after losses.

Tears of joy > tears of pain

 

[archstanton543]

I'd rather see a guy cry from getting a hangnail than crying over a job he knows he's going to lose.

 

[ahmed]

Never seen anything like it. I knew before then he was not the one but stuff like this just made it more obvious.

Just shows he cares.

Look who's sneaking around for things to complain about now

This is American football. The toughest of the tough play. Crying because you beat out a rookie because the team knows the O-line sucks shows a lack of awareness of the situation.

And, even if he did cry, why broadcast that to the media?

Mind if I do a J?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Man, he can cry all he wants if hes going to stand in there and grit it out for us. Dude took some shots today and didn’t wilt. Limitations and all, Im glad we have him

JFC, the guy showed emotion. Big deal, move on.

I didn't publish an article about a grown man crying.

He cares a lot. He is fired up and he got emotional.
So now we are supposed to cut him?
Give him some slack

He was tough on the field- that is all we should care about

It's his personal story. He wants to play and be a starter. Despite his limitations he has been able to do that for 48 games and there was a real risk to him starting this season. So when he gets the chance back, emotions do take over. Nothing wrong about it. It shows he cares and wants to perform and be a Leader. No wonder he is having a phenomenal backup career .

He would be the case study of how to resurrect your QB career.

I didn't say cut him. I did say that you don't tell the media that you're crying. Especially before and after Game 1 of the season.

Odd take. Do you not recall Brady crying in the documentary years ago?

I cry sometimes…in fact I did last week when the shooting happened twelve miles from our house at Apalachee.

That make me soft?

This isn’t 1950 when men bottled up any and all emotion, swilled cheap whiskey, and died of heart attacks at 48 regularly.

Hell, I’m superstitious so now Jacoby needs to cry three times before all games.

But he won't. He will play a year here and then maybe have an outside chance of being a starter on a QB starved team. The future is Maye. He has to know that. At the end of this one-year deal the Pats will come to him with an offer and it will be to be a backup.
