The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> stunned everyone with an incredible NFL season debut victory over the Bengals on the road. However, the joy was short-lived as the Seattle Seahawks delivered a tough loss at Gillette Stadium this weekend following a lackluster performance from the home team. In response to the situation, head coach Jerod Mayo issued a clear message to his quarterbacks, Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye.



Not only was the result a tough blow for the Patriots, but the level of performance throughout the game, particularly during overtime, was something many highlighted after the match.



In statements to WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” and asked about what he will do with the quarterback position following <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacoby-brissett">Brissett</a>‘s poor performance, Jerod Mayo was clear: “For me, I’m focused on the Jets. I’m not looking that far out. As an organization, we’re still 100% behind Jacoby.”

While Jacoby Brissett’s performance in the loss to the Seahawks was not disappointing by any means, the close competition between him and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/drake-maye">Drake Maye</a> throughout training camp suggests that another lackluster performance from the former Browns and Colts quarterback could soon cost him the starting position.



<h2>Eyes on Thursday Night Football</h2>



It is clear that the New England Patriots did not start this NFL season as title contenders. On the contrary, they are aware that they are playing catch-up against strong teams that are better positioned to reach at least the playoffs.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-bengals-teammate-makes-something-clear-to-joe-burrow-rest-of-the-league"></div>


However, the Week 1 victory in Cincinnati sparked a gradual rise in optimism within the Patriots’ circle about the possibility of a strong season. Yet, a close loss to Seattle yesterday afternoon in Foxborough cast a reality check for the team led by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerod-mayo">Jerod Mayo</a>.



However, a turnaround could be just around the corner, as next Thursday the Patriots will face none other than the New York Jets in a crucial divisional matchup. Both teams have serious aspirations of going far this season.

The New England Patriots are embarking on a new journey in the NFL. Aiming for the best possible record and fully aware of the restructuring process following the eras of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" rel="sponsored nofollow">Bill Belichick</a> and Tom Brady, head coach Jerod Mayo is turning to Jacoby Brissett to start against the Bengals. His backup, rookie Drake Maye, received some words from the legendary former Patriots HC ahead of the season kickoff.



Change is often challenging, especially when moving on from a successful and winning era like the dynasty built by Bill Belichick and the GOAT, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>. This is why, Robert Kraft and his entire team are betting heavily on youth, which is why they selected North Carolina QB Drake Maye in the last draft.



However, recent reports have revealed that the starting quarterback for Week 1 agai<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/new-england-patriots-confirm-starting-quarterback-between-drake-maye-and-jacoby-brissett">nst the Cincinnati Bengals will be Jacoby Brissett, not Maye</a>. In light of this, it was none other than Belichick who addressed the reasons why Maye will not be starting in the Patriots’ season opener.



Belichick has a segment with Underdog Fantasy, and he evaluated new Patriots quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/drake-maye">Drake Maye</a> in a clip that was released on Saturday via X, formerly known as Twitter: “You like his size, and you like his arm. I think his inexperience really showed up in the preseason, as it did a little bit at North Carolina. And I think that he needs a lot of seasoning in terms of reading coverages, overall throwing mechanics, and consistency.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240908_BUS_231388_Drake-Maye-3-1024x576_9859f4e8.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Drake Maye Patriots QB" class="wp-image-231392" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye-3.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots passes against the Washington Commanders in the first quarter of a preseason game at Commanders Field on August 25, 2024 in Landover, Maryland.</figcaption></figure>



The experience of the multiple championship-winning coach in Foxborough is always considered gospel regarding anything that happens in New England. While he emphasized the lack of experience in Maye’s NFL game, he did not fail to acknowledge the talent that the quarterback possesses.

<h2>The new role of Bill Belichick</h2>



After spending some time away from the field, the multiple-time champion coach with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> has found a new role in his daily routine, still connected to football, but no longer on the playing field.



Belichick will make appearances in football-related media this season and potentially beyond. In addition to his weekly show with Underdog Fantasy, also the coach will have a segment on the Pat McAfee Show and will feature on the Manning brothers’ Monday Night Football simulcast.



Belichick’s extensive experience and wisdom will undoubtedly be well-utilized in the media, as it is always intriguing to hear the insights of one of the most successful figures in recent times.

<h2>The New England Patriots’ season opener</h2>



The New England Patriots are gearing up for the start of the new NFL season with high expectations and significant changes. With Jerod Mayo at the helm and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacoby-brissett">Jacoby Brissett</a> starting in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Patriots are set to embark on a new chapter. The decision to start Brissett over rookie Drake Maye reflects the team’s strategic approach as they navigate through a period of transition.



Once the first week is behind them, the team under Mayo will face a series of tough matchups where they will need to give their all to achieve the best possible results:



<ul><li>Week 2: vs Seattle Seahawks</li><li>Week 3: vs New York Jets</li><li>Week 4: vs San Francisco 49ers</li><li>Week 5: vs Miami Dolphins</li><li>Week 6: vs Houston Texans</li></ul>

The New England Patriots announced the starting quarterback for the 2024 NFL season and fans were upset to find out rookie Drake Maye would sit behind Jacoby Brissett. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>, however, had a very different outlook on the decision and even compared it to the career paths of three greats, such as himself, Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick Mahomes.



Drake Maye had his fair share of highlights during his first NFL preseason, and heading into the regular season fans hoped they’d see much more of the UNC prospect. Brissett has received the nod, though. And so <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/drake-maye">Maye</a> will take his place on the Patriots’ sideline when they face the Cincinatti Bengals. However, Brady believes it is for the best.



“I think it’s best that young quarterbacks, or rookie quarterbacks, watch a veteran do it,” Brady said, via The Herd. “There’s so much that goes on and quarterbacks need to process so much information so quickly. I think if you can have someone [to learn from] — and I sat behind Drew Bledsoe my first year — what a great player he was, someone that I got to watch and learn from. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> watched behind Brett Favre. Patrick Mahomes watched behind Alex Smith.“



Fans in Boston will hope Maye’s comparison with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> and Rodgers has a similar outcome in the end product. And if Maye produces anything like the names Brady compared him to, then New England is in for a new age of glory.

“When you have a real pro in front of you, they can help with that learning curve even though that young quarterback isn’t necessarily going out there and losing confidence in what his abilities are.“






<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-six-quarterbacks-will-make-much-more-than-patrick-mahomes-with-chiefs-in-2024"></div>


<h2>Brady’s message to Drake Maye</h2>



Every young player that enters an NFL building cannot wait to step onto the field under the lights. However, as it has been proven time and time again, many times it is best to wait for the right time, learning in the process. Drake Maye, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">Patriots</a> 3rd overall draft pick in 2024, is understandably trying to prove himself a starter from day one. That time will come, surely.



“Ultimately, those young players are going to get opportunities,” Brady said. “The franchises need those young quarterbacks to come in and take a big step and lead that franchise on into the future. I just like to give them a little bit of time to acclimate themselves to the pro game.“



<h2>Tom Brady addresses the qualities he looks for in NFL quarterbacks</h2>



As Brady expanded on his thoughts in current quarterbacks, the 7x Super Bowl champion detailed what key elements distinguish the great signal-callers from the pack. Brady played through two decades of NFL, he has seen players wax and wane. And as he watches a new class of young athletes embark on this journey he believes the question does not rely on their talent. 



“When you’re looking at starting quarterbacks in the NFL, everybody should be able to throw the ball well, everybody should be able to drop back and make accurate throws. It’s what can you do when you’re on the road, in front of 70,000 people, and every single player in the offensive huddle looks at you and your eyes going, ‘Does this guy have the confidence in himself to bring us back when we’re losing in the fourth quarter?’ I think that’s the mark of what I see in quarterbacks when I watch them.”



Tom Brady will take on a different role this upcoming season as he will be an on-air analyst during game broadcasts. The former QB will make his debut on the booth during the Dallas Cowboys at Cleveland Browns game on September 8th.

As the new NFL season nears, teams are finalizing details in their last training sessions, eagerly preparing for the debut. One of the franchises in full rebuild mode is the New England Patriots, who have named <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacoby-brissett">Jacoby Brissett</a> as the starting QB for Week 1. In light of this, rookie Drake Maye made a clear statement to his colleague.



The start of the rebuilding process faces a formidable opponent in the Cincinnati Bengals, undoubtedly one of the toughest challenges to kick off a season. Joe Burrow and company will pose significant difficulties for a Patriots team, under the guidance of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerod-mayo">Jerod Mayo</a>, embarking on a new journey.



The legacy of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> was so profound that, after more than 20 years, the starting quarterback would not be either Brady or Mac Jones. This is a striking detail for such a successful franchise.



The beginning of a new phase in Foxborough started gradually with the selection of a new QB in the recent draft. The third pick was used on none other than the North Carolina offensive leader, the talented <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/drake-maye">Drake Maye</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240901_BUS_227807_Drake-Maye1-1024x576_a12831a7.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Drake Maye New England Patriots" class="wp-image-227851" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Drake-Maye1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots walks to the field during the New England Patriots OTA Offseason Workout on May 29, 2024 in Foxborough, Massachusetts.</figcaption></figure>



Nevertheless, in a highly competitive battle, it was the consistently reliable Jacoby Brissett who was chosen to start the season as the starting quarterback—someone with significant experience in such games.



<h2>Maye and his feelings on Brissett as the starter</h2>



The competitive battle between the two players for the starting role in the season opener and to maintain it over time has always been characterized by mutual respect. Despite being on equal footing, both have shown respect for each other both on the field and in their statements.



After Jerod Mayo ultimately chose to go with Brissett’s experience and Maye congratulated him while assuring him ‘he’d be there as his backup‘, Brissett told reporters: “It’s the same thing for him. Whatever he needs from me, I’ll do the same.”



Regardless of the final outcome, it’s clear that both quarterbacks have a tremendous respect for each other—an important factor when facing a competition as significant as an NFL tournament.

<h2>The start of the Patriots’ 2024-25 season</h2>



This year, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">Patriots</a> are expected to be the team facing significant challenges throughout the season, and finishing with a positive record would undoubtedly be a major accomplishment.



The lack of star players and an exceptionally challenging start to the season have lowered expectations for Coach Mayo’s team, though it’s important to remember that this is sports, and anything can happen.

With the new NFL season just around the corner, teams are finalizing details for Week 1. One of the franchises undergoing significant restructuring is the New England Patriots, who have yet to name their starting QB for the debut. In this context, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacoby-brissett">Jacoby Brissett</a> sent a message to Drake Maye and Coach Jerod Mayo.



The post-<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> and Bill Belichick era has yet to yield immediate positive results. In an initial attempt to find a successor to the multiple-time champion, the management selected Mac Jones in the draft, but the outcomes have been less than favorable for the franchise.



This year, the major gamble was on former North Carolina quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/drake-maye">Drake Maye</a>, who arrived in New England with strong chances of securing the starting position. However, after the preseason, there is still uncertainty about who will be the starting quarterback for the Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.



The results in the preseason games may not have met Coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerod-mayo">Mayo</a>‘s expectations. In the opener, the Patriots secured a 17-3 victory against the Carolina Panthers. However, the subsequent two games ended in losses: the second game was a narrow 14-13 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles, and the final preseason game was a 20-10 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Both quarterbacks have seen playing time throughout the preseason games, but neither has secured the position decisively. As a result, the staff has yet to decide who will be the starter for the opening game.

<h2>Brissett sends a clear message to the coach</h2>



During the preseason game against the Commanders, Jacoby Brissett injured his shoulder and had to leave the game. Nevertheless, he has assured that he will be available for the season opener.



In statements to WEEI, the former Colts and Browns player declared: “It’s good. I think it was more of like a precautionary measure. . . . I’m fine. I hadn’t gotten hit in eight months, so it kind of surprised me more than anything. I feel good, excited, ready for the season.”



“In my eyes, I am [starting Week 1]. I haven’t heard anything differently. So that’s what I have to go off of.”, declared regarding his availability for the season opener.
