Patriots Named ‘Scheme Fit’ for $118 Million Quarterback.
The patriots select QB Ryan Tannehill as a “scheme fit” the new england patriots passed over tennessee titans head coach Mike Vrabel, a former linebacker, but the team could still pursue his former quarterback. Ryan Tannehill, the titans’ quarterback, was described by bleacher report as a “scheme fit” for the patriots, according to ryan fowler. The titans and Tannehill have a four-year, $118 million deal that will expire in march 2024.
The patriots could use the third overall pick to select a new face for the team. However, this could be a good landing spot for those who choose the more experienced route or see Tannehill as a crafty veteran with some spot-starting skills, according to fowler. Tannehill could be a bridge quarterback with playoff experience if the patriots can turn it around in 2024.
Tannehill finished with a 39–24 record as tennessee’s starter in five postseason games from 2019 to 2021, the highest mark in the league. this season, he was 3-5 and was benched after rookie will levis stepped up, so things didn’t go as planned. Tannehill completed his pass play with 1,616 yards, four touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He had a better 2022 campaign with 2,536 yards passing for 13 touchdowns and six interceptions in 12 games. Tannehill’s career totals include 34,881 yards, 216 touchdowns, and 115 interceptions.jerod mayo: when he assumed the position of patriots head coach, mayo obliquely mentioned quarterback choices. Mayo said at a press conference on wednesday that “we’re still evaluating everything as far as players, as schemes, and as the coaching staff,” but that “at the same time, as long as the coaches and as many of your team’s leaders, i’m talking the guys under contract,” really believe in the failure.
when Mac Jones was benched after 2,120 yards passing and ten touchdowns against 11 interceptions in 11 games, new england was left without an answer at quarterback. Bailey zappe ran 1,272 yards for six touchdowns and nine interceptions in ten games, but he didn’t have much more promise. Nevertheless, mayo said, at least in terms of the big picture, “i think we already have great leadership on this team, and i’m really not worried that we won’t get it done.”
At pick no. 1, robert kraft, the patriots’ owner, discusses the draft scheme. 3 if the patriots pick a quarterback in the draft, owner Robert Kraft will not be the deciding factor. Kraft told reporters on wednesday that “it will be the same input we’ve had for the last three decades,” he said. “we try to find the best people we can find, let them do their jobs, and hold them accountable.” “you cannot hold them accountable or hold them accountable if you get involved and try to influence them or tell them what to do.”
Otherwise, it will be up to the people who make the effort to do so. We’re going to make an effort to appreciate it as fans,’ kraft said. “the only place we have really weighed in is by bringing in people who we may think aren’t the right one to be here and who have done things in their lives,” kraft said.
