Copied! Is there any concern that locker room politics will prevent a QB change? I understand what happened in 2001 but things are a bit different in 2021. Thoughts?-Matt S. I'm not exactly sure what you think is the same or different between 2001 and 2021 so I won't make any assumptions. I'll just say in terms of locker room politics in sports they come in a variety of different forms. There are stoutly religious guys, guys who come from the country, the inner city and pretty much everywhere in between. They played at big schools and small, some having been rivals at lower levels as well as teammates. Despite all these varied backgrounds, the one overriding element I've experienced in every locker room is a desire to win. So, while it makes sense that some of the veterans in the locker room who know and like Cam Newton would believe in him, they also understand when the time comes that Mac Jones is performing better in practice that a change may come. If they believe Jones gives the team a better chance to win than Newton, then they will embrace the change. That's exactly what happened in 2001, when many veterans wanted Drew Bledsoe to return because they respected and believed in him. Them Tom Brady came in, played better than Bledsoe had been, and therefore earned their respect and belief. The rest is history.
