With the Pats track record Dannywill likely be a starter one day with a massive contract


That's assuming:
1) Etling makes the active roster
2) Etling is named as Brady's backup
3) Brady gets hurt/suspended
4) Etling does well in Brady's absence

The two guys that have benefited from being Brady's backup had significant playing time when Brady was hurt/suspended and performed well during that playing time.

Teams don't typically carry 3 QBs on the active roster. The Patriots have an experienced vet, Brian Hoyer, as the backup currently. IMO Etling's best (and likely only) shot is to get a spot on the practice squad.

Etling will need to fight for a PS roster spot. They’ve got a logjam at a lot more important areas to keep 3 QBs

he guy has done exactly what you want in a modern qb. He is accurate, and can diagnose a playbook and defenses quickly



+ He is a firey leader, and he wins. This dude got no major D1 college offers, walked on at 2 schools and won the starting job as an undersized kid, carried Oklahoma to a CFP and won the Heisman

It's honestly a fascinating story. Imagine if that kid can actually help revive Cleveland, holy shite

100k at signing.
Approximately

Some dude said the Jets had Darnold at the top of their board this morning

When have the Jets nailed a QB in the draft?

Leftwich? Pennington?

Dont say Sanchez

There's definitely one in there. The elements:

--Coulda been a Patriot, wound up a Brown
--Coulda had Belichick, wound up with Hue Jackson
--Coulda been mentored by Brady, wound up being mentored by Tyrod Taylor.
--Coulda been a champion, wound up topping out at 8-8 one time.
--(If history holds, this place is saved for a traumatic inury)

I think this is smoke. Pats had holes to fill couldn’t give everything up to go to 2
