I’m happy with the picks they made and am in no rush for Maye’s development. I am more interested in seeing how this coaching staff works together before having any expectations. This is a new coach who’s very different from the last one, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, there are some things I’ll miss (saying less to media, game planning, etc.). I’m willing to see this through as starting from scratch with some growing pains instead of thinking one is bringing back some kind of legacy, until I see otherwise.
In reality it is not typical for teams to have multiple Star/SB caliber quarterbacks. Packers had three (Star, Favre, Rodgers), Steelers had two (Bradshaw, Roethlisberger), as well as 49ers (Montana, Young), etc. It’s hard to have that type of success with picking QBs. We’ll see.

I agree with everything that you said. I think there is the potential for great things, but we have a new team of coaches coming together, unproven in their present roles. We also have all kinds of new players coming together on the team, including a new quarterback - unproven in the NFL. There is therefore no solid reason to *expect* great success. There are all kinds of risks and even if things go very well, there is development needed on both the coaching and player organizations.
All that said, there is also no solid reason to *expect* failure. I am cautiously optimistic, and hope they can return to being a sound, winning team within a couple of years. After that, anything more would be gravy.
Anyone watch The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady?
Lots of awkward moments in the Patriot family, but I thought drunk Drew Bledsoe was hilarious, & Gronk going off script was one of the best parts. Brady nailed it with his time on the mic (of course). Belichick & Kraft together was forced & awkward. I thought all the Aaron Hernandez death jokes were over the line. His family is still grieving his death.
I need to check out more on those comedians. Ross, Andrew Schulz, Nikki Glaser were so good.
Jacoby Brissett is saying all the right things in camp, talking about embracing the role of mentor. He's been in the league 9 years, and although he hasn't risen to the level of being a star, he's played well enough to have played in many games - so unlike the eternal backup guys, he's had things figured out well enough to play in 79 games and throw for over 10,000 yards in his 9 years, so that's a lot of experience. A lot of guys can't get past looking out for #1, but if he can be generous with what he knows, I am sure he can contribute a lot to Maye and Milton.
