I feel like we need to sacrify Brissett to the football gods so they can stop injuring all of our key players so the line can at least settle . I feel like every game that Brissett start something bad will happen to this team !
 
Accomplice to murder leaving Jacobs alone on an island with Bosa. No chips, no help. Just as bad as a second straight game of the front 7 not containing the edge and letting purdy and the back have east west all game along. Its the same problem with the offense and defense. 2 coordinators that cant adjust and are in over their heads.
Watching the game again now and this is a big part of it, I agree. Their offense lacks any imagination and the defense (I know they're missing a couple of big pieces, but still) doesn't adjust well.

I'm getting tired of listening to how this coordinator or that coordinator is dialing stuff up. Someone tell Kraft that BB is gone and it's time to get Mayo a lot of coordinator talent.
 
Jacoby Brissett.



They could have scored 28 points with a good QB. It was just bad, worst of the year, and they had 28 points there for the taking without and NFL Left Tackle. Now you know why Mahomes won a Super Bowl with LT and RT that were amongst the worst in the NFL. QB makes a HUGE difference.
There is ONE primary cause of the horrible performance of the Offense: Brissett. No matter when Mayo decides to allow Maye to play, that will be the issue.

Let's stop blaming the OL, an injured group that starts with below average talent. Onwenu seems to not be playing at his level. The rest (other than Wallace) are performing better than expected and better than their talent dictates that they should. The OL did so uch better against SF than could and should have been expected. Jacobs! Leverett!
 
Playing Maye will be interesting. He regressed at Chapel Hill without Josh Downs and n OL or two. His second year starting he regressed.

How do you think he will do with the Patriots. Are they waiting for VLowe’s and Doghouse Bourne’s return to put him in?

Don’t expect the second coming of Dan Marino. The kid will struggle. And get frustrated. And…regress.

It’s not as though it hasn’t happened before.
 
just another QB ruined by his past coaches
NOT

Coaching matters.

Geno Smith. Baker. These guys were busts but now look like legit NFL QBs. Darnold could be the same.

He did not regress in year 2, he was better.
In year 1 he would scramble, and it meant a run. In year 2 he would keep his head up on scrambles and make throws as he ran. He also improved on going from read to read. He increased the checks at the line and his responsibility for recognizing pressure.
I watched ever throw, in 2023 he had a terrible line and receivers, a new offense to learn, a poor OC and played with a sprained ankle for most of the year, had a putrid defense (pretty much the current Patriots LOL) and still was better than he was in 2022 which was one of the best ever rookie seasons in college history for a 20-year-old.

PFF even had 91.5 in 2022 and 90.8 in 2023, though the rating is not as meaningful as the fact that they rated him the same each year using the same metric. He had 8 games above 80 rating in 2023 vs 6 in 2022.

He was a better player with slightly worse stats due to a worse team.

There was a reason the one game he did not play, replaced in bowl game by the QB that was a top recruit, the offense had the worst game of the year, he carried the team in 2023.

AVP is co-conspirator.
 
Well 56 (Floyd?) had beaten our LT and was already in Brisset's face.

Brissett has like 3.5-4s on that play to throw the ball before Floyd was in his face. He had a clean pocket.
 

I agree with Lazar on that play that the receiver look more open than they really were. I am not saying that there wasn’t any separation at all but Brissett is staring down Thornton from the get go. Warner and the second player are reading Brissett eyes and let go the receiver because they know Brissett isn’t throwing there.

If Brissett had stayed with Pop longer Warner wouldn’t have been in the picture and the passing lane to Thornton would have been open. Just an awful QB play

You can see the replay here. Brissett has time with a clean pocket. You see him stare down his first read and never looks at anyone else. Doesn't see Polk wide open and doesn't see the defender right in the middle

 
[Maye at UNC] did not regress in year 2, he was better.
Really? Maye’s completion percentage fell from 66.2% to 63.3%, his passing yardage dropped from 4,321 yards to 3,608 yards, his passing touchdowns went from 38 to 24, and his interceptions increased from seven to nine.

By your logic Mac Jones was an improvement over Tom Brady.

That’s why he’s not a good fit for a bottom-tier offense like NE has. Maye needs talent around him to make it work.

You know who is a better long-term prospect? The other rookie QB.

The only thing you proved here is just that you are able to read stats.

That's just who he is. Douglas was also about to clear for a big play, but he was too busy staring down his only read. Also, Ward may have been able to jump up for the pass had he targeted Polk.

However, the O-line can't block long enough for plays to progress.

Stats are meaningless. Play Josh Allen on the Patriots and see what his stats are compared to last year, such a lazy argument.
Maye made it work with no talent around him, what an absurd statement.

He got better, I explained where he got better, not sure why you think he did not get better based on stats on a team that goes maybe at best 5-9 without him but went 9-5 with him. His team got much, much worse.

Talk to you in 3 years about who's the best long-term QB prospect. I'd wager on Maye in a landslide.
 
We also need to remember this is his 3rd OC in 3 years and his 1st that has a specified particular footwork to time up with the pass. I think we need to get him there soon. AVP knows he will need to call up different plays. They know that pressure is getting in on the QB in 2.6 seconds or whatever then they know they need to focus on quick passing game. Maye is able to read progressions pretty quickly. I think he will be alright, but they absolutely can not keep rolling JB out there.

Trey Jacobs will not face Bosa every week, he did fairly well against Leonard Floyd so I have hope that he can hold the fort down.

Stats are meaningless without context. I agree, the statistical slip is not highly indicative of him being poor. Even the best NFL QB's have up and down years and variations. Brady could have a worse year after a statistical high year and still keep us competitive. The TD decrease is the only meaningful one imo, and that could just be punching it in with RB's more or losing a good redzone threat and needing to find other ways to score.

Right now it is very hard to think any of the drafted QB's this year will end up being better than Daniels who is tearing it up at an insanely high rate.
