Drake Maye has shown exponential growth recently, but Henry McKenna argues that, for the QB's own good, he'd be better off not starting.

Poor Jacoby Brissett. Yes, this is a story about why he should be the New England Patriots' starting quarterback. But that makes him something of a sacrificial lamb. If Brissett ends up the starter, we saw a preview of his upcoming trials and tribulations against the Washington Commanders on Sunday in the preseason finale. With New England testing new starting offensive line combination , the Patriots proved wholly unable to block Washington's backups.

There hasn't been a grouping that works. Far too often, we've seen developmental quarterbacks fold under pressure. Bad blocking is one of the many ways to lead quarterbacks to bad habits and shattered confidence. Former Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was off to a strong start to his career, but offensive line woes derailed his development. Zach Wilson never learned how to play in an NFL pocket. Mitchell Trubisky has never proven to be more than backup quality.
