And so it begins.
The moment we’ve been waiting for.
Sooner than a lot of Patriots fans are comfortable with.
But the utter embarrassment that has been this passing attack over the first five weeks has unacceptable.
I understand a very good case can be made for continuing to sit Drake Maye.
He is the vessel into which we’ve poured our hopes and dreams.
But I’ve also said he can’t sit forever.
Especially one you’ve invested a lot of money (read: draft capital) on.
Personally, I targeted Week 5 as that time.
I’ve been saying that since preseason.
I was off by seven days.
I’ll take that as a win.
That has to change if these guys are going to avoid the N’Keal Harry career arc.
Worried Maye will get snapped into like a Slim Jim in the hands of The Macho Man?
Of course I am.
That’s a terrifying thought.
He’s the QB you want when you’re experiencing total system failure.
Which we have had a surplus of since 2018.
This week at home against Houston.
The next week on a neutral site against Jacksonville.
And the week after at Gillette again against the Jets.
Which is the Shemp of Boston sports.
4 team no one cares about.
They’re going to be hyper-relevant once again.
Which would be the worst possible reason if that’s why they’re making the switch.
I like to think it’s because the kid is ready.
Here’s hoping I’m right.
Hope is all we have right now.
