The Clock is Ticking For Jacoby Brissett as The Patriots Starting QB

[@iMOVIECLIPS05]

Brisset is who he is. we have been in position to be 2-0, that's all you can ask when developing a young QB. be patient and hopefully you're not getting blown out. We are fine, keep playing Jacoby. Let Maye sit and keep learning.

[@cityofthechamps6242]

lol you want to go 2-15 huh?. omg People are scary asf put the kid in and stop being pussy. Its football he is a grown man with a lot of potential and great athleticism. there is a very good chance things look better with him in the game based off mayes skillset. Lol "keep playing jacoby" "keep sitting maye keep learning" haha learning from what?! from who!? Jacoby?! Give me a fucking break. The longer he sits the longer we have no qb. Brissett is a bum and we are wasting yet another season.

[@soundnessofmind7196]

Maye had a bad o line in NC.. he is used to it. he's faster, can avoid the rush, and can push the ball down the field . He has the perfect skill set for this team

[@darnellharris111]

College is totally different from the NFL

[@soundnessofmind7196]

@@darnellharris111 it's like with mac Jones in Alabama ..everything had to be perfect around him to succeed..whereas I think Maye can thrive in the chaos and be a playmaker a lot like Allen or mohomes

[@HeartsforJesus25]

And Caleb Williams was used to evading pass rushers in the PAC 12

[@DMKFACTOR]

Except he can’t read defenses and make pre-snap changes! Let him sit and learn! He’s was still struggling with that footwork too. Give him time, like KC did for Mahomes! Patients!

[@jirachi8297]

If Caleb is struggling with a shit line. I'm sure maye is gonna struggle just the same as Jacoby did. Let's not forget why Jacoby is struggling.

Mayo not going for it on 4th and 1 was a mistake. Should have taken em to The Hill bro!

Is that the time after 3rd and 1 was a passing down?😂😂

[@FantasySportsZen]

Comments are funny. Defense and coaching lost this game. Brissett is getting pummeled and still hanging in there and leading this team. And they're functioning. Drake Maye is a complete unknown still. Makes me laugh.

[@Urfeelingsdontmatter]

Pummeled? He was sacked 3 times and pressured 4. He had a 40 qbr, he was awful.

[@cityofthechamps6242]

leading the team? lmaooo stop he needs to be benched and he will be soon three more weeks of this and hes done. I mean he better be wtf are we doing?

[@Phinjarvus]

Every pass Jacoby throws past 5 yards he drills into the ground watch his plays back it’s ridiculous he might have the worst arm strength in the league along with his wins up throwing motion

[@Octavis-hj2fe]

This all falls on Wolf and Mayo! Let’s revisit the offseason, Klint Kubiak came in for an interview for the offensive coordinator position and never got offered the job instead Wolf decided on Alex Van Pelt who’s been more of a quarterbacks coach than an offensive coordinator throughout his tenure as a coach. Klint Kubiak on the other hand has made subpar QB’s look amazing (example) in 2020, Cousins passed for 4,265 yards with 35 touchdowns, a 67.6 completion percentage and 105.0 passer rating. Kubiak has the Saints offensive rolling in 2 games and has rejuvenated Carrs passing game while beating their opponents (W) 47-10 and (W) 44-19 compared to Alex Van Pelt’s (W) 16-10 and (L) 20-23. Klint Kubiak has had success with every QB he’s coached and has made them better yet Alex Van Pelt has been the opposite of what Kubiak has done. I was really excited when Kubiak interviewed and thought he was going to be the Patriots next offensive coordinator, but they went with Alex Van Pelt. The numbers don’t lie, in 2018, Case Keenum threw for 18 touchdowns and a career-high 3,890 yards under Kubiak while in Denver and let’s not forget what he did with QB Purdy in San Francisco. He would have been perfect for Drake Maye and the Patriots, but instead we got a journeyman QB’s coach to go along with a Journeyman QB.

[@DV-id6di]

Bro who says he will be here next year. He does suck

[@John-ms6bv]

Yes, Bertrand, it is easy to think that a rookie QB will not be able to negotiate the pressure the offensive line allows. If JB was just missing throws or making dumb mistakes, then the ‘play Maye’ calls might be warranted.

[@johnenterkin1200]

O line pass protection is questionable, The passing game needs vast improvements. The surprise is we knew this going into the season and we did not successfully address it.

[@uppymcdowny58]

"Questionable" is extremely generous. The o-line pass protection isnt questionable, its atrocious. Its the worst unit in the NFL

[@Madtigertv]

"JB.... the slowest black man in the league"... lmao When my buddy told me this lol

[@Oldguard_8]

Be good to Brissett, class act and a quality NFL backup - can give you some good play. A better line and WR's and Jones would still be here ya know - a better line and Brissett isn't visibly in pain after getting mushed in the dirt for 10th time.

[@barry7920]

You're absolutely right - Brissett isn't the GOAT at QB, but I think he's playing well under the circumstances - which are that the pass protection absolutely stinks and the receivers are mediocre. The QB still needs good team-mates, he can't do everything himself. And you're also right that Jones faced the same challenges, and 90% of the fans blamed everything on Jones too - it's like they're blind to the other players.

[@billshun3963]

He looks old and slow. There was a report that he was considering retirement after last season.

[@joerosa2532]

Problem is management let him down in not providing a decent O-line to protect him. The Run blocking is good, real good, but the pass blocking....a nightmare!! I mean, we're at the point that "Chuckles" Orakofor has left the team, the guy who was picked up to man the LT spot!!! He literally quit on the team!!! This mess all falls on Eliott Wolf's shoulders and to a much lesser extent on Mayo's. I really feel bad for Jacoby who will probably end up getting hurt at this rate.

[@brendanpal4143]

This team plays hard and does not make stupid errors like last year. They were expected to to 0-18 and now we talking about benching Jacoby in a game we were supposed to lose/get blown out?? Jacoby has played solid and error free. Compared that to last year with Mac and Belichick, this is much better to watch.

[@stopdropopenupshop36]

[@obarbeito]

This team is competitive, they are playing a whole lot better than I thought they would. Our rookie Maye has to start this season, no later than game 8.

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

Also, the referee, not calling pass interference on Stevenson when his left arm being held down in the end zone. I couldn’t freaking believe they did not call a PA. Even before the ball gets to them, the guy was holding Stevenson’s left arm down. Then they called a PA for Seattle in the end zone against us when it wasn’t even close to as bad. As when Stevenson had his arm held.

[@obarbeito]

You know the saying: play better than the refs...🤷‍♂️

[@polandfresh101]

They punted the game away on 4th & 1 in OT. That was the difference. Not a great start for Mayo.

[@FantasySportsZen]

*PI?

[@jmalfair5790]

Seahawks fan here, Brissett was infuriatingly mobile at evading a rush. The Patriots looked solid except their O line was worse than the 17 Browns team.

[@johngately4890]

I think the Patriots should make Bertrand a coach!!! He certainly has the answers..

[@AJ........]

He seems to know everything...well other than a team has to spend to get talent

[@billshun3963]

One thing for sure he can talk 🏈

[@Allan-e9d]

These guys are talking heads not coaches and their talk is cheap. Brissett was amazing the way he finessed his way out of sacks. Great foot work. What happened to Cole Strange? O-Line needs help. The blocked field goal lost the game. Special teams coaches need to be taken out behind the shed.

[@barry7920]

In week 1, Brissett was pressured on over 48% of his snaps - the worst pass protection in the league.

[@billshun3963]

If the QB holds the ball too long it makes the Oline looks worse than they really are Vice versa Tom Brady for one

[@uppymcdowny58]

Cole Strange is on the PUP list i believe

[@4noonww]

short passes ,slants and reverses to get the wide outs involved

[@NewEnglandInSeattle]

Yes, they probably win if Maye is out there, but I am afraid of him being behind that offensive line causing the fundamentals they've been working on with him to break down. Yes, he had a bad O-Line in college, but he also had college players coming after him, not pros. There are good arguments for putting him out there, but I would still rather the team err on the side of caution and look to the future instead of the now.

[@barry7920]

In week 1, Brissett was pressured on over 48% of his snaps - the worst pass protection in the league. And yet all that many fans and sports "analysts" can seem to do is to blame the QB if they don't win.

[@xdatcalikidx]

Tyler Boyd was available, Stefon Diggs was available, Jahan Dotson was available, Keenan Allen was available. New England could of made a move for someone if they really wanted to upgrade the position. They chose not too, smh 😮

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

Watching Jacoby play. I was not upset because I just kept thinking he will be a good backup for Drake. I truly believe if Drake was playing, we would have definitely got the W. That sack at the end of the game really costed us. Which led to Seattle getting that blocked field goal.

the clock isn't ticking because you'd have to be insane to try to play a rookie behind that dumpster fire pass blocking, literally every throw Brissett made he was under pressure immediately having to step up to avoid the blindside rush, that's the biggest reason they can't pass deep, you need time to pass deep
