After the retirement of Tom Brady, the New England Patriots havenāt found their franchise quarterback of the future. Bill Belichick thought Jimmy Garoppolo or Mac Jones could be the answer and the cost him the job. Now, itās time for Jerdo Mayo to make his call.
A few months ago, during the 2024 Draft, the Patriots had the No.3 overall pick. Although there were many rumors of a possible trade, Mayo and the teamās front office never doubted.
Drake Maye of North Carolina was always the plan as a possible next star in the NFL. For Robert Kraft, the Patriots have to become a Super Bowl contender soon and thatās why he made such a huge decision by parting ways with Belichick.
Who will be the starting quarterback for 2024 Patriots?
Although Drake Maye showed extraordinary signs of adaptation to the NFL during his first two preseason games, head coach Jerod Mayo still hasnāt made a final decision between the rookie and a veteran like Jacoby Brissett.
āWe have three more days of training camp practices and itās our job as coaches to evaluate and the competition isnāt over. They have to show not only themselves and the coaches, but also their teammates. We always talk about competition and thatās at all spots. So, even if Drake beats Jacoby, he earned that role. If he is better than Jacoby, then heāll play and heāll start.ā
