The Patriots Met With Mailk Willis And Joshua Dobbs, So What!

The Patriots apparently met with Malik Willis from Liberty and instantly people jumped on the Belichick is looking to dump Mac train. First off, it's a team's job to do their home work on quality prospects. They're looking for anything they can use in their favor down the line. The Patriots meet with a lot of players, so this meeting shouldn't be given too much attention.

Around the 14th of March, the Patriots re-signed Brian Hoyer to a two year contract. Hoyer has a good mind and Belichick has said Hoyer is the most knowledgeable person when it comes to the Patriots offense but Hoyer has shown that he is not the guy the Patriots want to step in. However, it's safe to say that things haven't gone as planned at the position.

The once projected hier to Brady's thrown beat out Hoyer and then fell out of favor apparently with Bill Belichick as he got benched for a few weeks in 2020. Stidham is in the final year of his rookie contract. The Patriots are going to be looking to replace Stidham. And with Hoyer under contract for two seasons, now is the time to get their next backup quarterback.

Now the Patriots met this week with Joshua Dobbs. Notice there was no talk about replacing Mac with Dobbs. Why? Because although it's not impossible that the Patriots are going to replace Mac Jones, however it's highly improbable. And the quarterback class is supposed to be one of the worst in years.

People point to Belichick replacing a 29 year old Drew Bledsoe with a young Tom Brady. As much as I love Drew, he wasn't the best under pressure. And the offense seemed to run more smoothly under Brady. Sure Bledsoe was capable of the big play but Brady already seemed better under pressure. And Brady had a few starts under his belt and gave reason to replace the franchise quarterback. I told everyone the Patriots wanted Mac when they thought Bill wanted a mobile quarterback and the Patriots drafted Mac.

So again, don't put too much stock if any into the Patriots looking at quarterbacks. Remember the Patriots had Brady and Jimmy G, and still drafted Brissett. Brissett wasn't going to replace the guys in front of him and no quarterback from this draft class is currently being looked at to replace Mac Jones. Am I wrong? Well the Patriots did sign both Cam Newton and AB, so maybe but they also paid for signing them. And not in a good way. So take my opinion as you will but please use some logic.
