The MMQB’s Albert Breer explains why bringing in Baker Mayfield as competition for Mac Jones could make a lot of sense for the Patriots.
Mayfield led a 98-yard game-winning drive in his Rams debut. On Sunday, he completed 24 of his 28 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns in a 51-14 rout of the Denver Broncos.
Would it make sense for the Patriots to sign Mayfield to compete with Jones in training camp? The MMQB Albert Breer shared his thoughts on"I think we've got to look at Bill's actions here too," Breer said."Conventional wisdom says that you do everything you can in a quarterback's first year, three years, to bring him along and create the right environment around him. Have they really done that? Like, they rolled the dice with Joe Judge and Matt Patricia.
"So what we've seen is Bill continuing to push, and push, and push Mac. Well, if that's the way that he's treated him in Year 2, and the performance hasn't been there, shouldn't we be led to believe that maybe in Year 3 he takes that to another level and brings in another person? "And I do think what you lose in reps maybe you gain in competition. The way I look at this, there's two benefits to bringing in competition. Especially if it's somebody young like Baker Mayfield. Number one, you may find an answer on Mac quicker, on who he's going to be as a professional and as a player. Number two, this gives you kind of two swings at it.
How Jones performs in his final two games of the season likely will go a long way toward determining how Belichick proceeds at the QB position. The Patriots still are in playoff contention as they prepare for a Week 17 showdown vs. the Miami Dolphins. They must win to keep their postseason hopes alive.
