Patriots coach Jerod Mayo has chosen Jacoby Brissett as the team’s starting quarterback as the veteran held off a late surge from rookie Drake Maye.

    Assuming Mayo is a good coach, this could just mean that he senses their locker room trusts Jacoby and will need to see proof that Maye is better in games, that Maye will benefit from being brought along slowly even if he’s already better, or maybe just that the OL hasn’t gelled yet and whover starts weeks 1-4 is in for a bad time, LOL.

    Brissett is almost certainly on a short leash.

      I really think he listened too much to AVP thinking Brissett’s presnap run adjustments are somehow going to make the offense run better than having a QB who threatens the defense.
