Develop the quarterback they were going to draft with the No.
3 pick and turn him into a legit NFL starter.
Give Drake Maye the the job training to be the long term solution the Patriots need at the position.

What Charlie Weis was in 2001, as opposed to what his predecessors were the last two seasons.
Do that and everything else will fall into place eventually.
Which begs the question of whether Van Pelt will be here when that eventuality happens.

Because his offense hasn’t exactly been putting Matt Patricia’s to shame.
Yet we sit here and say, Hes developing at a good trajectory.'
So, like, all those reports are false.
Theyre all false, Mayo responded abruptly.
None of those reports are true.
Or:
- They are, but head coach doesn’t know about it.
But such is life in the Post-Belichick Era.
This is going to be our new reality.
Not as much what they were doing with Deshaun Watson.
So AVP is making it as simple as he can for the rookie.'

“Here’s a Bears coach,” Breer added.
“‘AVP does a good job of keeping the quarterback out of third and long.
Not a complicated offense in terms of personnel grouping, motions, or shifts.
So I think keeping the picture clear for the quarterback really helps Drake out.
The juice ain’t worth the squeeze sometimes.’
Sure, it would be great to see the offensive line be able to protect him.
And who knows, even outscoring an opponent once in a while might be nice.
So where do I come down on this?
My opinion is exactly the same as whatever Drake Maye’s is.
He’s the one who decides.
Especially after the Mac Jones-Matt Patricia debacle.
If we see continued improvement, great.
If not, I’m perfectly willing to find another candidate.
But ultimately, the only opinion that will really count will be the quarterback’s.
My name is Old Balls Thornton, and I approve this message.
