Richard Sherman makes the case that Bill Belichick isn't being held to right standard after cutting two quarterbacks

Richard Sherman is starting to question if Bill Belichick isn't being held to the same standard as every other coach

Over the past couple days, NFL teams across the league have been cutting and waiving players left and right to get to 53 ahead of the season. 

However, one of the biggest head scratching moves made was by the New England Patriots. With Week 1 right around the corner, the Patriots opted to cut two reserve quarterbacks in Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham. While both showed promise at times with Zappe even looking like he could take over as the starter last season, and Cunningham looking like the next great Patriot weapon, they are now left with just Jones.

A move that Undisputed's Richard Sherman believes if it were made by any other coach in the league besides Bill Belichick, it would be deemed "crazy". 

Patriots cut 2 QBs, leaving Mac Jones as the only QB on roster:

Sherman explained that by cutting those two quarterbacks, it puts the Patriots in a position to have to play a quarterback who doesn't know their system should Jones go down. He also goes on to question some of the decisions that Belichick has made after the Tom Brady era, such as hiring a defensive coordinator to coach the offense last season. Obviously Belichick has won championships throughout his career, but Sherman also pointed out that his success after Brady hasn't amounted to nearly as much as Brady's without him.

Obviously Belichick has always had his own ways of doing things, but is starting to get bizarre.
