What I find most impressive about the Pats handling of Mac is that they have not drafted a QB, that they expect to be a starter, for 28 years. Other teams have had an opportunity to learn from their mistakes multiple times during this span. Very few have learned any lessons. The Pats strut into the room saying "We haven't done this for a long, long time, but we'll show you all how to do it. You in the back, pay attention"
