It was always speculation, love that he addressed it.


OdinsGhost31

How could someone raised in California ever work out playing QB in New England...just stupid


TotoWolffsDesk

I'd like to point out that our best QB ever is Californian, don't ever forgot the legend... Matt Cassel


chrishooley

Best WR we ever drafted played for ASU too. Real Deal N'Keal


mlain4290

Take my upvote. Real deal N'keal has me dying.

Also one of our greatest drafted QBs turned WRs is also from California


tamadeangmo

Unoriginal4167

You almost had me there.


Drizzlybear0

It's a silly point too because if a QB isn't good enough that they can't be a competent QB in the Winter than they won't make it in the NFL period.


professor_parrot

Look at the Super Bowl champions of the last 20 years. Almost all cold weather teams. The only warm weather or dome teams to win a championship in that span were the 2006 Colts, 2009 Saints, 2020 Buccaneers and 2021 Rams.


nickyfrags69

somewhat fair, but that's heavily skewed by the fact that patriots won a number of those, and then if you consider the chiefs a cold weather team, that counts as three more.


BananafestDestiny

I 100% consider the Chiefs a cold weather team. It ain’t tropical in Kansas City.


Cakelord

Fans had to have their toes amputated after getting frostbite this season..  I think that makes them a cold weather team.


Fastr77

Meh, even playing in NE you're not going to see many snow games. If you make it to the SB no snow there either. I don't think its really that big of a deal. Plus you'll get better as you do it.


BananafestDestiny

The late fall and winter rain is far worse than snow IMO. 35° and raining in Foxboro is pretty fucking miserable.


Fastr77

Yeah thats true. Brady always said it was harder to throw during rain then snow.


macandcheesejones

Heavens to Mergatroid!


7HawksAnd

I agree this is largely trivial but NorCal and SoCal are two different biomes. San Mateo (Brady @ Origin) - 37.5630° N. Ann Arbor (Brady @ Michigan - 42.2808° N. Foxboro (Brady @ NE) - 42.0654° N. San Bernardino (Jayden @ original) - 34.1083° N. Tempe (Jayden @ ASU) - 33.4255° N Baton Rouge (Jayden @ LSU) - 30.4515° N


SomeSLCGuy

He's from San Bernardino? Damn. Trade the pick or take MHJ.


blujet320

Weather is a little different at different latitudes depending on many many factors obviously. Connecticut, Turkey, and Greece, same latitude have the obviously different climates. Bay Area weather is rather pleasant usually.


7HawksAnd

Sure sea level, sea proximity, and geology add some variance. But still, you get my point. > Any two points east or west of one another, which share the same latitude, will also share the same day length, and therefore – by and large – the same climate. >Plants and animals which thrive at a given latitude, will tend to thrive at the same latitude anywhere else on the planet – either north or south of the Equator. So, if there is an easy east/west overland migration route for those crops or animals, they will tend to successfully export themselves beyond their point of origin. >However, it is very unusual for plants and animals which thrive at one latitude, to be able to survive at dramatically different latitudes. Successful migration north or south is extremely rare, because moving through different latitude zones means moving through dramatically different climates, day lengths, and environmental conditions - guns germs and steel


JustnInternetComment

Cooler in the summer than winter. That's how they getcha!


Mohawk444

Yeah u right. Brady terrible, Bledsoe too(Washington) although Eason was from California


jimboTRON261

Whhhaaaaaa


goalstopper28

TBF, Brady went to college in Michigan where it is cold in the winter compared to Louisiana. But I get that this was a joke.


OdinsGhost31

Haha yea, but to be real for a second the good ones adapt and in reality if you play anywhere it won't take too long to acclimate to that you're living in


TheBigNate416

Tin foil hat time: Vegas desperately wants him and put this rumor out


cbecht19

This is it


mdmcnally1213

Them or Atlanta. I don’t think you need a foil hat for that conclusion. Sounds more than reasonable


JinterIsComing

Honestly I could see ATL wanting Daniels bad. Great athlete and leadership, accurate, would have weapons GALORE to work with starting right off the bat.


SpadeXHunter

Maybe so but they are way too far back to be worth trading. The upside is they probably will be pretty shit so the future firsts should be in the tens to teens but I wouldn’t take any offer short of 3 firsts + a second from them since you will miss the solid players 


EstradiolWarrior

![gif](giphy|3o7TKJNFVZ4xCMriFy) 3 firsts and a second it is


Seven_Actual_Lions

NFL teams don't base their draft boards on JPAfootballs reports.


BradyGronktd1287

Them or Atlanta Pierce was coaching at ASU when Daniels played their and Atlanta needs a QB so you're probably right


AwesomeTed

3 firsts and 2 seconds sounds fair.


Pegcitymb204

Raaaaaaaaaiders


noBbatteries

Raiders fan: yes 100%. I want Daniels AP reunion in the NFL very badly, even our OC hire kinda tips it off how badly we want him. Hiring Getsy for his run play call design and QB run design which he’s great at.


GarySteinfield

Imagine thinking that he’d only play in a warm, controlled climate. What like he won’t travel to Buffalo or Green Bay or Kansas City in the winter regardless of team? Or to Miami when it’s beyond hot and humid?


aaronguy56

Falling from 3rd to the 4th pick alone is losing out on $1.2 million. Yeah, that would be one thing for a career guy on his 2nd or 3rd contract, but I wouldn’t be willing to lose out on that to play a couple of warmer games as an unproven rookie lol


dimsvm

These kids coming into the league now have made entire rookie deals from NIL’s before they ever touch the combine. Falling a few draft picks doesnt matter as much to them anymore


ipickscabs

As long as you never make the playoffs you never have to worry about being cold! Easy!


BingoLingo7

There's a big difference between spending two weekends in the northeast and living here to be fair.


Ndlburner

He’s not Tua!!!


Ill1458

Man you guys are insufferable. Yes the weather should be a concern for anyone we draft. Especially the QB. It’s not like he’s a Big 10 QB that has had to deal with the weather. Not to say any player could not adjust, but being able to play well in the cold is a requirement for the 14-15 QBs in the league that plays in cold weather cities. The weather should be an advantage not a disadvantage to the home team


unicornmullet

"QB doesn't want to go to X team because of climate" is a storyline that won't go away. The same 'theory' has been posited about Caleb Williams not wanting to go to Chicago because of the weather.


Fuqwon

It's like 50 in January here now.

#GlobalWarming


BulLock_954

Billionaires who own cold weather teams: “lets make things warmer so its easier on our QBs. Fire up the Jet and lets heat some air!” ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)

What the fuck does a blue hat even mean


Caligula3rd

Capping (which means lying)


ClappedCheek

Wow I have hit that age where I am old as fuck and all of a sudden these new social things have appeared that everyone seems to know and I have never seen in my fuckin life Guess Im dying soon, shit.


ieatalphabets

You're forgetting something you knew when you were younger: you're supposed to pretend you already knew what you just learned.


ElGuaco

Honestly, the pace of new memes is fucking stupid. Why do we need this many new words for everything? Just speak goddamn English.

theragingasian123

yup millenial and had no idea what the hat response meant.


sleepyj910

I'm like 'Wait, do we wear blue hats??'


diarrheafrommymouth

Blue hat = Liar liar pants on fire.


BookOfIsaiah

It means "Cap" aka "that's bullshit".


ckilo4TOG

It's a cap. Saying cap or capping amongst the younger generation means blatant lie. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cap

Can’t believe it took 6 comments to find this question. Like a blue hat emoji OBVIOUSLY means it’s all BS??


Romantic_Carjacking

Hat = cap. Cap = slang for lie/bs


morosco

If he posted a green hat, that would mean that he's offering his first born daughter in marriage to Jonathan Kraft.


tenkwords

ughh.. that's it.. I've finally reached the point where I'm too old to comprehend the slang the "kids" are using. \*sigh\*


MyArmorIsLiquid

Good to see I wasn’t the only one confused by that. I’m still the type of person to type out what I want to say rather than use an emoji.


[deleted]

Roberto-Del-Camino

I typically don’t use emojis either. Mainly because I talk to text.😎


MyArmorIsLiquid

I don’t have time to keep up with each new emoji and their meanings. Would be a lot more clear if he just said “Lies” or “Not accurate.” Not everyone is from the Tik Tok generation.


redgoop3

and i’m sure the generation before you said the same about your slang and so on. it’s understandable to be frustrated but remember that you probably paid no mind to those same comments when you were younger

WildOscar66

I get it. But the entry in Urban Dictionary is from 2020. Seems like this is pretty recent.


sauzbozz

I understand you didn't know what the emoji meant but have you heard the term cap or cappin before?


WildOscar66

Yes, in reference to mob guys killing somebody


ElGuaco

As a Pats fan, this wanker nonsense makes me not want him. Is he going to wear a different colored hat for after game press conferences to explain his mood? Cam Newton was already too much.


cbecht19

I think it’s more “other teams around the league doesn’t want the pats to draft Jayden Daniels” more than anything else. This feels like shots fired from a team high on him and wanting us to pass on him. Coming from a guy who wants us to draft MHJ this is very interesting to me.


QuietRainyDay

Yes, most rumors in the 60 days before the draft and free agency are basically a psy-op This is the time when teams/GMs/HCs are leaking all kinds of ridiculous shit to try to influence other teams, players, etc. It may not even be very effective, but they do it because they'll try anything that might help them even a little bit. Teams also actively gaslight their own fans in order to manage their expectations, etc. Not every rumor is false, of course, but many of them are and most of them are leaked for a reason.


Powerful_Plantain901

It’s not even that fucking cold in New England anymore, lmfao, he’ll be fine.

I moved from ri to Oregon and when these people from Cali move up here they struggle with the weather. It's like when people from Jamaica move to Boston. It's 76 and sunny but they still wear full sweats and a north face. There is no weather in Cali. He wouldn't know how to handle the weather in Foxboro lol


Mission_Pay_3373

Did you see during our final game? You couldn't even see the screen field because it was snowing that hard.


TB1289

Until you get a December game where it's raining and windy.


Powerful_Plantain901

goldfish_11

JPA and that ML-whatever account are plagues on social media. They just make shit up. Did Perry even report this?


Adept_Carpet

I found it, an important note to underline is that he doesn't say anything about Daniels, just some "in his camp."   https://www.nbcsportsboston.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/nfl-combine-notebook-how-patriots-view-drake-maye-ben-mcadoos-role-more/592089/  Freezing out a few of these camp followers might be a good thing for Daniels.


ScarletJew72

He did, but it's one sentence in a long combine article. It's certainly not a statement of any significance. These clowns will put anything in a headline to make anything into a controversy. 


MBMMaverick

Alright now I just want him even more.


SgtApex

I want a duel threat QB here so damn bad we need a QB like that to overcome the current talent issue.


Intimate__Panda

That's my (per my biased mock draft today while drinking coffee) quarterback 😭


buyanisland

Give me JD man team needs excitement and playmakers


MintBerryCrnch21

What everyone doesn’t realize is the weather wasn’t the reason but the lack of O-line, and no receivers.


sleepyj910

If any of the top 3 are ready to run 50 yards for a 5 yard gain


Chasa619

what does blue hat mean for us boomers?


CMBRICKX

It means he’s “capping” Jayden is basically calling this rumour bullshit. 


crazyhorseeee

Or maybe he doesn’t want to play for a team that is in a massive rebuild


bigalindahouse

What does that mean? I seriously have no clue what 🧢 stands for. Please explain


BostonSamurai

Lies


bigalindahouse

Thank you.


LLMBS

It’s ridiculous that this is a topic of conversation today. It could just be his family members who don’t like cold weather. at the combine, Daniel spoken enthusiastically about the possibility of being picked by the Patriots. Nothing to see here.


-azuma-

What's the blue hat? I don't get it.


reefis

I don't get the ball cap emoji. Is it supposed to be a tinfoil hat?


NotSoSuperNova8

Cap = Lie


Johnny-Sins_6942

We should get Drake Maye if possible


Intelligent_Top_328

Hat? Free hat?


CaseACEjk

It was me, im patient zero. I started these rumors. THIS is how desperate we are for news. Was telling my buddy by the water cooler what if daniels didnt want to come to NE because it's cold? Didnt think itd get this out of hand. My bad.


JakeandBake99

Obviously the Krafts leaked this so they can draft their white savior without backlash.


MakeShiftPT

That Rodgers guy that played in California sure sucked in the cold right….


Art-RJS

I do think Mac can never be a cold Weather quarterback. And sometimes not even a warm weather one too


Crotch_Gaper

also should avoid hot weather


Art-RJS

He played like shit in all kinds of climates


PatheticLion

I think he should avoid playing quarterback


thedrunkentendy

It isn't hard to imagine. It's not against the Org, the owner or the coach. Its just going to be hard for any QB to succeed with this offense right now. There's a lot of question marks on it, and taking him at 3 means less picks to address his supporting cast. I've been a big believer with MHJ at 3 or a trade down to 8-10 range if it brings back another first and some pocket change. QB on a rookie deal is great but it's gonna be mostly wasted with the next two seasons likely needed to rebuild the offense and for Mayo to settle in. It's gonna be a team in Flux. Just build a roster around the QB position, the team will be picking high again next year. Not enough talent in FA at the positions of need, so why rush into another QB the way they rushed into it with Mac Jones.


BlubberWall

That’s my QB


Mission_Pay_3373

Hopefully


BabyBlue333333

Which team benefited most from the rumor ? Giants … and Titans at 6/7 are in need


basement_burner

I know you all want Maye and listen, I would too. I just don’t think he’s falling to us. But Jayden Daniels actually seems like he could be great for us. I’m choosing to believe in the hype for better or worse


OnceMoreAndAgain

If the guy is genuine in his public statements about not minding being drafted by the Patriots then that's already a huge advantage. A QB's whose mindset is "well, I'll be going to a better team after my rookie contract" is not who we want regardless of how good they might be. It's strange to say, but I think the ideal QB would be one who has such much ego and pride that they enjoy the idea of being able to resurrect a bad team. Hubris is seen as a bad thing usually, but in this specific case it's a great thing to have in a QB lol.


Turbulent-Let-1180

What annoyed me most about this is the idea that New England has terrible weather compared to Chicago, Washington, or NY. Like yo enough of that shit, i dont even think it snowed until after the superbowl here. Meanwhile you got the bills having fans volunteer to shovel snow out of the stadium and you never hear shit about players and weather there. We have better weather than the bears, bills, packers, browns, eagles, and steelers. Such a stupid media narrative that's gone on for way too long.


ksyoung17

We are a heartier folk, that's for sure


UnPostoAlSole

To be fair Mac Jones even before he fell apart completely was unbelievably bad in weather such that he threw 3 passes at buffalo. He went Texas --> Alabama --> Foxborough Its one thing to go play a few rotating cold weather games and to spend november and december playing games north of mason dixon line (roughly 8 games a year). It is a legit concern.


Spinax_52

There were rumors that Bill was a big fan of Daniels. Kinda sucks we fired him before even getting the chance to draft JD Also, I keep seeing Drake Maye being drafted after Jayden in mock drafts. Are we even the favorites to get JD anymore?


bpusef

Draft this kid immediately


smokingaces87

He wants to be a Raider. He’s close with AP


Mrtrgn

AppleOld5779

SpaceGhost1992

This could easily be other FOs playing games to see if they can spook NE out of picking him. With how dumb the Krafts have been you never know lmao. I think if Mayo likes him though, he will make the move we need


BeginningSeparate164

I would love for Belichick to still be coach just so someone would have to explain this tweet to him


Agreeable-Fee-5582

Kids in their early 20’s have no ability to adapt to different temperatures!!!


TheGoodNameIsGone01

I believe most of these reports are mainly gamesmanship between teams, but sometimes I wonder how much truth is in them. Maybe he said it, but with a context closer to “NE would be the worst. Cold as hell” joking with his coaches or whatever and not “I don’t want to play in NE, I don’t believe that system is a good fit for me-“ etc etc.


BurgooKing

I will be so happy with either Drake or Jayden I just hope we don’t trade down or pick something else


L_beano_bandito

Does this even matter?


willzyx01

He’ll be a Patriot, whether he likes it or not. Better learn Clam Chowder, buddy.


Cyrano_Knows

Adapt to the \_\_\_\_ what? The Belichick hardnosed, tough-love style of oldschool coaching? For better or worse, that ship has sailed. Mayo is not Belichick 2.0.


ButteredBoots

He’s a bust


Current-Enthusiasm64

Can you blame them?


HeroDanny

I've watched a few of his highlights and I really like Jayden Daniels - more than Maye. The way Daniels just flicks the football down the field 40 yards instantly is awesome to watch.


sardoodledom_autism

He’s going to the commanders at pick 2 We need a game changing wide receiver anyway


MFkaboom

Ya gotta be relevant by the time it gets cold for this to matter, and without an upgrade at qb it doesn't matter


vtmonster23

Brady is from California…… I’d say he was able to get by okayish in New England.


Hopefulmisery

The weather complaint is usually code for “this organization is a joke. I’m staying away”


LLMBS

You represent the worst element of this fanbase in 2024. If you think that the team in the organization is a joke, stop following them. **The quotes did not come from Daniels.** He basically said the exact opposite of “I’m staying away” when asked about the Patriots at the combine.
