Football fans who don’t support the Patriots must be jealous of New England going from Tom Brady to Drake Maye.
There were a few dark years in between, from when Brady left for Tampa Bay in 2020 to now, Maye’s sensational second season. But the losing in between might have been worth it and a reminder for quarterback-needy teams to stop opting for the quick-fix route and settling for mediocre signal-callers in free agency or in the later rounds of the draft. (I’m looking at you, Raiders.)
