COMMENTARY
On the one hand, the Patriots seem poised to land either the first or second pick in next spring’s draft, giving the franchise a prime opportunity to secure one of the country’s top quarterbacking talents. Because as Sunday reiterated, with a 27-17 loss to the Chiefs in Foxborough, New England isn’t going to be able to compete with the Patrick Mahomeses of the NFL without a Patrick Mahomes of its own.
On the other hand though, Joe Flacco.
This is not to suggest that washed-up veteran quarterbacks are the cure-all for playoff-hopeful teams in desperate need of a starter.
