Should be a fun low scoring, game. Watch it turn out now to a shootout. 

Anyway, I see the Patriots are doing it right with the #3 pick in the draft. In practice Maye is getting 30 percent of first team reps. Learning behind a seasoned vet. They don't want to rush and ruin this kid. It will be interesting to see how he progresses. Wish we would have done that with Young. 

 

 

 

 

 

There is no right or wrong way.  Sitting for a year or two has worked, and not worked.  Starting immediately has worked and not worked.  Sometimes it makes a difference, sometimes I think the qb was going to eventually be good or bad regardless and all this overthinking about the right or wrong way to do it had minimal impact either way.

Rodgers looking like Rodgers too.

This game is going to be a sleeper.

My thoughts the Patriots will definitely be after my 2 top targets in the draft Hunter/Tmac.

Yes, It really depends on the player. Vick, Love, Rodgers (on the top of my head) sat and they turned out well. Newton started day 1 and was fire. 

I still believe Young would have benefited from sitting for a year. I believe it's better for them long term. Young is no Cam. 

The rookie salary cap also plays a huge part as well. Its cheaper to find out now one way or another.

I don't know what the OL draft looks like but they need all of them.

I think sitting can help if you have the tools and need some seasoning to process things at the NFL level, but if you just flat out lack the physical perquisites you're just gonna suck.

lol true

 

They been searching for a WR for years now. I think they get that #1 WR first and go Oline hunting the rest of the draft.

The patriots are in as bad of shape as we are. Maye ain’t their answer whether he sits a year or not. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Hang in there Brissett. Keep Maye the fug away from this disaster. Their OL situation is hopeless.

I told you before the draft the Patriots would be the worst place for Maye to get drafted.

 

It's amazing they beat the Bengals with that offense.

At least they have a good owner.

 

We still stuck with Tepper.
