It’s certainly been mine.
Brissett already knows it forwards and backwards from his time in Cleveland.
Wolf and Mayo are new hires, which gives them a grace period to turn this program around.
Put them all together and it’s possible for you to spell Brissett B-R-I-D-G-E.
But then this week happened.
Featuring joint practices and a preseason game against Philly.
Maye went 9-for-his first 9 attempts at practice.
Then started with two scoring drives in the game.
While Maye played a clean game and only missed on a throw or two.
I’d braced myself for a long season of this team barely scraping by.
Trying to adjust to a new offensive scheme.
Led by a solid but not spectacular veteran.
With the rookie standing on the sidelines in a hat with a Microsoft Surface in his giant puppy paws.
But Mayo is having none of that.
We have three more days of training camp practices, and it’s our job as coaches to evaluate.
The competition isn’t over.
So, it’s definitely still a competition.
The last man standing gets the job.
JM:For me, we always talk about competition, and that’s at all spots.
So even if Drake beats out Jacoby [Brissett], I mean, he earned that role.
Look, I chose my words in that headline carefully.
This is just two competitors interviewing for the same job.
May the better man win.
Which is not something I’d even remotely be saying in mid-August.
But Maye has been just that impressive over the last couple of weeks.
Personally, I’d be more excited to see it be Maye.
The next two weeks are going to be wild.
