The Eleven Quarterbacks I have wanted since 2012 to be the Heir to Brady kingdom.

Looking back at the past ten drafts, there were eleven quarterbacks I really wanted the Patriots to draft. What I look for typically is intelligence and accuracy. Quarterbacks have to impress me, for me to let accuracy slide or decision making slide. So I decided to take a look and see how ten of the eleven have faired as Mac Jones has yet to play a game. Also I respected Belichick's opinion on the quarterbacks taken but outside of Brady I have thought the backups could be better.

2021=Mac Jones rookie season has not startered.
2020=Jalen Hurts
In 15 games started 4. Completed 52% of 148 passes for 1061 yards with 6 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Average 5.6 yards with 3 touchdowns on 63 carries. 1 catch for 3 yards.
2019=Ryan Finley
Has started 4 of the 8 games he's played. Completed only 48.7% of his 119 attempts for 638 yards with 3 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Average 6.8 yards with 1 touchdown on 21 carries.
2018=Mike White
No nfl stats 
2017=Zach Terrell
No nfl stats
2016=Kevin Hogan
Started 1 of 8 games played. Completing 59.4%of 101 attempts for 621 yards with 4 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. Averaged 9.8 yards with one touchdown on 18 attempts.
2015=Brent Hundley
Started 9 if 18 games. Completing 59.1% of his 337 attempts for 1902 yards with 9 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Averaging 6.7 yards with 2 touchdowns on 46 carries. 1 reception for 10 yards. 
2014=Seth Lobato 
no NFL stats.
2014=Logan Thomas
Started 23 of 58 games. Completed 27.3% of his 11 attempts for 124 yards and a touchdown. Averaged 1.7 yards on 3 carries. Caught 107 passes for 987 yards and 8 touchdowns. (Tight End Convert)
2013=Tyler Wilson
No nfl game stats
2012=Kellen Moore
Started 2 of 3 games. Completed 58.7 of his 104 passes for 779 yards with 4 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. Averaging -.5 yards on 2 carries.

Like in real estate, everything is about location. Every one of these players would've benefited from development in the Patriots quarterback room. While Hurts and Jones are post Brady era, the rest would've been an under study for the greatest quarterback of all time.
