Just looked at the Patriots forum (not trolling just reading) and here was a few threads:

Wes Welker cost us the game. Dump him.

Tom Brady cost us the game. Time to draft a new QB.

The defense cost us the game. Blow the whole team up.

Now I realize emotions run high after a SB loss and our forum would probably be no better but is still crazy some of the reactions from people. Never mind your team would not even be in SB without Brady and Welker. They almost won it too at the end....A healthy Gronk may have made that rebound catch in the endzone. I can only hope we get so jaded with success to make such nutty statements.

After the last one, someone tried to get up a petition to reverse the result based on the circumstances surrounding a late game time stoppage they thought was improper.

Wow. Never heard that one before. They should look back and see how many breaks went their way in previous SB's. You have to be good and somewhat lucky to win a SB. It's tough.

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
