3. Five interconnected reasons
Mon Apr 26, 2021, 09:51 AM
Apr 2021

1. The Patriots may not have such a high draft pick again for a long while so more capital
2. Journeymen are journeymen for a reason. Foles is the last QB in recent memory to pull it off (unless you count the journeyman they let get out the door).
3. A rookie starting QB is the single largest advantage any team can have in the league (followed closely by a QB willing to take less than market value and can get other players to do the same - see Number 2).
4. QBs 2-5 seem to be pretty close in talent level (all potential starters). It is an unusual year for that occurrence.
5. I think either Mac Jones or Justin Fields has great potential to be successful in NE. They would take either.
