Just In Commanders’ QB search begins after finding out 2024 NFL Draft selection…….

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick refused to talk about his future with the franchise after its humiliating, season-ending loss to the New York Jets.

‘I’ll address questions about the game. Anything about the future, I’ll meet with (owner) Robert Kraft, like I always do,’ Belichick said. ‘I’m disappointed in the season.’

Belichick was asked about his possible firing multiple times at his postgame press conference, giving a version of the same answer each time and never shedding light on how he views his next few days or weeks playing out.

Could freefall result in Commanders going QB in the 2024 NFL Draft?

 

‘Disappointed about the way the the game turned out, sure, let’s leave it at that,’ Belichick said when asked about his status with the Patriots moving forward.

The Patriots finished the season 4-13, the team’s worst season in over 30 years.

Only four of Belichick’s 24 seasons with the Patriots have ended with a losing record. Three of them have been in the last four years.

Belichick has been at the helm for 17 AFC East titles, nine AFC championships, and six Super Bowl victories in New England.

Will the 2024 Commanders feature a new coach and a new quarterback under center?

With an 0-fer since the first week of November, the Commanders finished the season with a record of 4-13. Their reward? The second overall pick in this spring’s draft, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. A draft that is thought to boast two elite quarterback prospects.

As, as is widely expected, new team owner Josh Harris cleans house and relieves head coach Ron Rivera of his duties, the new person in charge of the Commanders should have quite the foundation to build around.

Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel have flashed potential behind McLaurin, and the backfield is led by dual-threat Brian Robinson Jr.

Commanders in prime position

Who will be throwing this group passes next season is the real question. Sam Howell has proved he can play at the NFL level, but he finished his season with three straight games with two interceptions. He also displayed a propensity to take way too many sacks earlier in the season, although that problem improved as the year progressed.

But with pick no.2, it will be hard for the Commanders to pass up a quarterback prospect. USC’s Caleb Williams is thought to be the consensus top passer of this draft, and likely will hear his name called first when the draft kicks off.

Drake Maye of North Carolina has been graded as an elite prospect as well, and is preferred even to Williams by some talent evaluators.

Taking off most of November and all of December and January have put the Commanders in a position to grab one of these highly rated quarterbacks. Now, to find someone to actually coach the team.
