Reasons Why The Patriots Would Re-sign Jacoby Brissett

What to do with Jacoby Brissett is a good question. He was supposed to be one and done. Herr are the reasons why the Patriots would re-sign Jacoby Brissett. Some have probably already figured it out. 

1. I'm going to start with the most unlikely, which is the patriots don't think Drake Maye develop well enough. Maye has 10 interceptions and 9 fumbles and according to pro football reference, Maye's average for a 17 game season would total 14 picks and 13 interceptions. Plus he still has his critics who say there's some flags from his draft profile that he still hasn't fixed yet.

2. The team's lack of age and wisdom. People are going to hear this a lot , but the pages don't have a lot of players over 30 on their roster. With how much dysfunction we've seen this season, The patriots clearly need some maturity.

3. Joe Milton did not develop the way he was supposed to. Milton was a developmental, with thea sub basement starting point, like he would be in quarterbacks range 65 to 96 but his ceiling might be higher then Maye's. The problem with bring Brissett back because Milton is not ready is we don't know if that means he's heading towards floor or if he's just slowly improving.

4. The Patriots want an experienced backup. Brissett is a bottom 32 starter and having an NFL quarterback at that level as a backup is a good security blanket. Brissett doesn't have Maye's arm but he also doesn't have his ball security issues, Where Maye throws passes he shouldn't, Brissett could take a few more he should.

5. I saved the worst for last... Dysfunction. The way the 2024 patriots, the post Belichick patriots have operated; re-singing him For no reason other than incompetence makes sense. The defense regressed, with exception to the tight ends & Maye, the offense regressed. The coaching staff regressed, All we need is Wolfe to make the re-signing without reason to come full spin in the cycle. 

Bringing Brissett back eats up a valuable roster spot. The patriots should have an emergency quarterback on the practice squad. Re-signing him comes has its perks but it also creates and exposes negatives. I think Bill would have resigned him, to see where Milton was at in the spring and then cut one of the two but Mayo's Patriots, Wolfe's Patriots, I don't know. And with how sentimental Robert Kraft is, Hoyer could be back for all we know.
