Marc Bertrand: Quarterback won’t be the main issue for the Patriots

On Friday's edition of Zolak & Bertrand, Marc "Beetle" Bertrand dove into quarterback not being the main issue for the Patriots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UNy2CyFvfs&t=1s It's all the other parts of the offense... Marc Bertrand:  I'm marking 2 positions safe on offense, quarterback and tight end. I don't think we have too many complaints about quarterback or tight end. I don't.  Bob Socci:  If Rhamondre Stevenon is healthy, I’d mention running back too.   Marc Bertrand:  Yeah, fine. We can do that too. Although I think they're thin at the position. That' not to say the quarterbacks are gonna look great or not make mistakes and throw picks. That is absolutely gonna happen. But I think a lot of it is gonna be induced by what's around them. And the very, very short amount of time they have before they get their heads taken off.  Bob Socci:  Yeah, and I do think though these first few days of training camp too, I mean going back to having watched them in spring, I think they were putting the pieces in place. You know you talk about like building blocks, you have rookie quarterbacks, two of them. New coaches, new offense, new system. When we go back to the spring, some of the drilling that we saw at various positions, it was clear they were taking truly baby steps as opposed to maybe in the past where they might have been a little bit more accelerate having returned large part of the offensive staff and the same offense. I'm going back to pre-2022, so I do it's probably going to be more gradual build up for them in terms of trying to be aggressive in terms of what they do. Zo said yesterday throwing the ball down the field, now they did do that on Day 1 this year more than they have in the recent past.  I do think that when you look at these quarterbacks and the offense and the offensive line especially. You know, for this coaching staff, they're kind of behind where they would have been with the previous staff, previous players, a couple of years ago.  Listen to the full segment! https://omny.fm/shows/zolak-bertrand-1/marc-bertrand-quarterback-wont-be-the-main-issue-f
