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.

Don't worry, Maye will probably be starting by week 4, maybe week 6 at the latest. Brissett isn't good enough to be able to hold him off for long.

That's a bunch of wasted weeks. Your backup doesn't have meaningful time to practice.

And Jacoby's inability to threaten on vertical routes and throws outside the numbers keeps the receivers from developing comfort with the spacing the offense is designed to provide, and condenses the box to make it harder for the backs as well. It lowers the quality of game reps for all the skill guys.
