00:00Let me introduce this to you, okay?

00:02Mike Reese covers the Patriots for a long time.

00:04Introduce, Keith.

00:06He tweets out,

00:08opinion slash analysis.

00:10Now let me jump in on this.

00:12Mike Reese, these opinions,

00:14I don't mean to say he has no thoughts on it,

00:16but these opinions tend to be informed.

00:18When he says,

00:20I've got an opinion on something,

00:22he tends to have a good feeling on where it's going.

00:24It's like a local Adam Schefter,

00:26where you ask him questions,

00:28and every single opinion is pretty well informed.

00:30So anyway, opinion slash analysis,

00:32colon.

00:34Trade of Joe Milton III for modest draft pick return

00:36sparks a thought

00:38that it was driven as much by QB room dynamics

00:40as anything else.

00:42It clears the runway

00:44for Drake May.

00:46May wanted him out.

00:48May didn't want him here.

00:50Because Robert Kraft was,

00:52I didn't read as much into it as you did at the time,

00:54at the end of the year when Robert Kraft was

00:56speaking and

00:58they were asking about the QB room,

01:00and he was like, maybe we have two quarterbacks.

01:02Looks like we

01:04locked out.

01:06We maybe have two quarterbacks.

01:08Drake May didn't like that.

01:10If you're the starting quarterback, you want to hear that?

01:12Drake May didn't like that. Get him

01:14out of here. The backup quarterback is always popular.

01:16Unless that backup quarterback

01:18is Jacoby Brissette or Josh Dobbs.

01:20And that's what you have now.

01:22If the backup quarterback, even though I think

01:24May is head and shoulders better

01:26than Joe Milton, there's still a little

01:28something there.

01:30Scrumple Stillskin on the Twitch chat

01:32says

01:34that's insane. There's no way it was May.

01:36Look, I was just...

01:38I was speculating at the beginning of the show.

01:40I'm like, well, let's try to make sense of it.

01:42Maybe Vrabel hates him. Very possible.

01:44Maybe Milton wants out. Also possible, but the guy

01:46has no leverage. Maybe the most simple

01:48thing is the starting quarterback bristled

01:50when the owner said, we have

01:52quarterbacks. And oh, by the way, don't yell

01:54at me, Scrumple Stillskin. Yeah, come on.

01:56Yell at Reece. Reece just said it.

01:58QB Room Dynamics.

02:00What else can that mean?

02:02I guess you could explain it away as the depth chart

02:04if you want to be charitable. No, I don't think

02:06it's that. They don't even have

02:0890 guys on the roster or whatever. A lot of teams

02:10can carry three. They might only carry two.

02:12I already thought it was May before

02:14Reece's tweet, but maybe QB

02:16Room Dynamics mean Milton wasn't happy being the

02:18third guy.
