I would be shocked if Mac didn’t start at least 1 game this year. He was labeled as the most pro ready of the draftees. Secondly, neither you or I know squat about the situation. How do you personally know how or why Bill drafted Mac ? You don’t. It’s never up to the fans as far as what happens. What if Mac makes it very difficult on Bill and staff in training camp and the preseason games by playing lights out ? And Cam struggles mightily once more ? The players usually make the decisions for the coaching staff.
Me personally, I would like to see a situation like the Chiefs, Mahomes didn’t play until the last game of the year his rookie year. If something similar happens, it means Cam played great, Pats clinched a playoff spot, maybe even a buy, and they can afford to play Mac the last game of the year. But it all depends on everyone’s play in practice and in games. Even Bill said Cam is the starter until they show they can give the team a better chance to win.
