ESPN breaks down why Drake Maye will beat out Jacoby Brissett as the Patriots' starting QB !!

Drake May opening day the rookie quarterback here on un Sportsman like in ESPN Radio the ESPN app Ser X and channel 8 and ESPN 2 Courtney croner Freddy Coman in for Evan Cohen Chris KY and Michelle smallman for some godforsaken reason because this song is on right now the things you find out as you get older than you didn't know before Pat Castell our producer asked the question how many men were actually to Baja men and I said four I'm thinking that's about it Courtney goes oh God no there was more than that and she guess what you guess eight I guessed eight and that's wrong too so Pat cell how many Baja men were actually men in that group there were 10 Baja men why cuz why not cuz they needed all of them barking on who let the dogs out you can't just have like one person do that gu I gu Pat Castell singing Baja man this morning not on Freddy Coleman's card not even close did they have another song or was that their only one they W hit wonder when you make a song as good as who Let The Dogs Out you don't need another song I'll never get I was covering a minor league football team in the Hudson Valley called the Orange County Bulldogs and they were really good and anytime they scored a touchdown that song would play I'm thinking what kind of money do the Orange County Bulldogs have that they got their own song every time they scored a touchdown never mind the fact that song's like all over the radio and I had no idea that the Baja man was that popular they that song If you think about how much run who let the dogs out has gotten over the years for any team that has dog in their name what like speaking of me wearing maroon this morning morning and when I covered Mississippi State for football they had a choreographed dance on the sideline Freddy really like the the coaches it wasn't like great it'd be like this that and like something else like and they were going back and forth like it's not very hard to do if I can do it they can do it um they would do this before kickoff they would play who let the dogs out and the players in the sideline had this just they were all in unison and it was honestly kind of impressive that they were that locked in to who let the dogs out before going out there for kick a buddy of mine was on a cruise about 10 years ago and the Baja men were the entertainment oh no he said Freddy you would have thought the Beatles were on this Cruise that's how much people are losing their mind I said that song came out in 2000 he goes I'm well aware 14 years later they did a cruising around the Baja men and people lost their rabid Baja men Minds on this Cruise seriously 14 years after the fact when that song came out it's people of culture that's what it is yeah let's go with that Cordy cron and Freddy comem today a sportsman like presented by Progressive Insurance on ESPN Radio the ESPN app and as well as ESPN to so should they shoot their shot and if they I'm talking about the New England Patriots Day One this season is going to have a lot of rough teams as a part of this season check out the first six games of the New England Patriots in 2024 at Cincinnati home versus Seattle at the New York Jets at San Francisco home versus Miami home versus Houston home versus Jacksonville and then home versus the New York Jets that's the first first part of the schedule for the New England Patriots now they have not named a week one starting quarterback although gerro May the Patriots head coach knows who it is but he's not going to let anybody know until today when he said that yesterday we've made a decision just haven't communicated and honestly I want those guys to to hear it first from me before they hear it from someone else you know I know everyone uh wants to know that I'm going to talk to the individual players tomorrow I'm going to have a team meeting tomorrow and then I'll get it to you guys I think it's important to remember like what good for the team today may not be good for the team weeks down the weeks down the line and so I think the you know the challenge is you want to win every single game now but also we're trying to build something special here so that that to me was you know that was a challenge all right Cory why were you shaking your finger at what he said what's good for the team today may not good be good for the team down the line or at a later date however he phrased that so that is the key that you need to know that jacobe brassette is going to be starting for the New England Patriots come week one at Cincinnati and that's not some groundbreaking news just like the Russell Wilson situation in Pittsburgh that was the way that things had been trending but him saying that specifically all but confirms jacobe will get the start and go probably as long as he can so what what like what he was saying about how it at a certain point like what's good for the team right now might not be good for the team down the line what would be not good for for the team down the line is that stretch they get to whether it's Houston Jacksonville the Jets that's a really tough I know those are all home games right that's a really tough stretch in week six through eight if he struggles there seems like a natural progression to go and pull the bridge quarterback that you had as a veteran in there you brought him in to give your rookie time to come along right that seems like I I found the one spot like they can credit me for this I found the spot where you can insert Drake May the number three overall pick in the draft into the lineup and he can become your starting quarterback roughly Midway through the season it makes sense yeah it makes sense but if if it was me I'm starting Drake May early he's your dude right now I know jaob brassette can be that bridge quarterback can be that veteran presence whatever that's going to be let's keep it 100 the ped's going to stink this year anyway if you're going to stink stink with your rookie quarterback and put him out there Drake May seems to be very unflappable that whatever happens is not going to break him it's not going to shake him and damage his confidence to be your quarterback of the future by making him in my opinion your quarterback of the present and I I get it Courtney they still have PTSD from what happened with M Jones gerro May was a part of that staff in which let's be honest M Jones didn't help himself but the pagers did not help him either in the final stages of the last dance of Bill bich where they completely ruined this guy by having Matt Patricia and Joe judge calling plays when they had never done that at NFL level because they thought that Patriot Way was going to overcome anything else regarding M Jones and they completely completely ruined that guy that's why Doug Peterson with Jacksonville Jaguar's head coach where M Jones is now took shots of the Patriot organization saying this guy's not a bad quarterback I don't know what went on New England and he was being kind I'm of that ilk that if you believe in a guy like Drake M whatever kind of schedule's out there you look at a guy and say man that's not going to break him it's going to make him and I think if you start him from day one and let him learn on the ropes with that tough schedule that's going to benefit the Patriots in my opinion years and years down the line instead of having jacobe brette as that bridge because that schedule is definitely very d hunting at the beginning of the season I could not disagree anymore I knew you would we don't even have to go back very far to figure out how throwing somebody into the mix far earlier than they're ready plays out at a point where they might have like their confidence completely broken and might have their career over before it really gets started look at the Carolina Panthers last year Bryce young number one overall pick generational Talent or whatever other label that they lofted on him when he was drafted by Carolina he goes to a team that was an abject failure last year he gets sacked a ton of times he's put behind a porous offensive line that got him hurt that did him no favors did you see that offensive line in in New England the other day against Washington you see jakobi brassette get killed by that free rusher because nobody apparently could block him you want to do that to Drake may you want to ruin the confidence of your number three overall pick from the very onset when you don't have to it's not like he's in a situation where he has to play you know people talk about Caleb Williams the quarterback that I cover for ESPN and I cover the Chicago Bears like he's in a situation where a it's not that he's just ready to play like he has to there is they're not going to go to Tyson bent they're going to go to the number one overall pick because they have built them their team in a way that they're not throwing him into a situation that's going to be too steep of a climb for a rookie quarterback to make right away like he's in a good situation the Patriots when they drafted at number three that was their own pick the Bears weren't drafting number one because they stunk so bad that they got the worst pick in the in the draft or had the worst record to get the best pick in the draft rather the Patriots were that bad from the very beginning because of what happened last year so you bringing a rookie quarterback in to a not so good team and expecting him to just figure it out like that's going to be a good situation I think that could ruin his career I completely disagree that it won't ruin his career and here's why because to your point about Jor Brett being behind that porest offensive line and he couldn't get away from that Drake May was able to find a way to get away from that as a younger player and figur it out on the run if anything by putting Jakob Brett out there behind the offensive line early you may want to playing Drake May sooner than later anyway because he can't get away from the rush we saw that in the preseason game against guys who are going to be working to Target a UPS in a couple of weeks and they couldn't do that with that offensive line you're GNA put job Brett behind those guys against First Team guys and he couldn't get away against second Team guys I'd rather play a drake May early and have a chance to protect him with a running game knowing that he can be better suited to get away from the rush that jakobi said has shown he can't get away from behind that porest offensive line something all situations are not the same and I'm not going to compare Bryce young to to Drake May in this situation because you're right about how bad they were last year but that Panthers organization is a terrible organization anyway the piges organization is not a terrible organization they're just trying to figure it out I trust in gerro May that he'll be able to figure that out to protu Drake May no matter what kind of offensive line play he's not going to get in 2024 I'd rather that I'm just I'm not ready to see a quarterback's career get off to a terrible start again we've seen this happen way too many times in previous years go listen to the greatest quarterback that the Patriots ever had in Tom Brady and what he said about rookie quarterbacks the red shirt year being able to learn like he did behind Drew bledo all those years not getting thrown into the mix before you're ready I just I really hope that I I understand what what gerod Mayo said that jacobe brassette would had been outplayed at least in recent weeks by Drake may I hope that it is jacobe brassette I believe that it will be jacobe brassette because the right decision if you don't want to damage your rookie quarterback before he's ready to play out there okay I'll counter Tom bringing you with with this quarterback CJ stra worked out pretty well for the Houston Texans last year they won their division they weren't supposed to be anything in that AFC South and winning that Division and winning a playoff game just a thought just a thought un Sports and like with me Freddy con and Courtney Cronin in for the guys and lady today presented by Progressive Insurance they offer Auto Home and Commercial Auto Insurance Plus a variety of business insurance options all you got to do is visit agressive today if Cody did not agree with me about Drake May
