Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 17, 2024, 04:44:45 PMI personally think they got Lock because they wanted a more durable backup than Taylor given DJ's own lack of durability. I doubt they view Lock as a potential alternative long term solution to DJ, but obviously I don't know for sure what's going on inside their minds.

Lock may never even see the field this year. I suspect he probably will for one reason or another, but we certainly don't know that. So it's unclear if he'll even have the opportunity to prove he's better than what he has shown so far in this league.
I wouldn't be shocked if he starts the first 3 games. Not sure DJ will be ready until October.

All I have read/heard is that Jones' rehab is on track and is expected to not only be ready for week one but to be ready for camp. If there has been any different reporting than that, I must have missed it.

I posted a scouting report from a former NFL quarterback about Maye. He said he was at least a year, if not two away from being a starter. New England is going to feel the pressure to play the 3rd pick overall right away. If they're not careful they are going to ruin the kid.

Yeah, sure! Aside from the fact that at this point, and for who knows when it might be otherwise, all such speculation is bootless. Is that not something we might at least wish to acknowledge out of a sense of propriety? Are there not more sensible rabbit holes for us to go spelunking? Good gosh! 

Cheers!

Call it as you wish, but I'm following this draft class that many pundits have crapped upon or hyped. It's the most interesting Draft class since 2004. You know where my chips are placed.
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

I know I must be missing something. But at this point, I can't see it being done except from the top of Mt. Everest in terms of any imputed relevance. Okay! I'll shut up.

Cheers!
