Either put an end to the shenanigans and name Jacoby Brissett the starter or bypass Drake Maye’s development and throw him to the wolves. Enough with the back and forth! The Patriots…
Drake Maye could find himself in the drivers seat to be the Patriots starting quarterback after his performance in Sunday night’s preseason finale against the Washington Commanders.
