I've been on the fence about Maye, until now. Thank you for showing me the light. Media focus has been all about weak foot movement, can we say splitting hairs?
They got way to nitpicky for me. Does he have things to work on of course. But when he figures that stuff out he will he great. He has everything you want for a 21 year old QB who can develop and grow into a STAR. So stocked for the Patriots future.
@Antawanknight780 I would prefer Brissett starts for at least 6 weeks just because there is no need to rush Maye. We dont have much expectations for this year and we need to figure out the OL still
I am super excited to see Drake Maye take over the NFL. I agree with you, I think the Patriots lucked out. I cannot believe the Bears and Washington passed on Maye. I understand why they did...but boy, they blew it. He will be better than Josh Allen. Why? Because he is a pocket passer first. Josh always takes off, but Maye will only take off if he has no other choice. If the Patriots can surround him around with top offensive line, he will exceed our expectations. All we need is decent running ability...and I think he is above average. It's good he is NOT the most talented runner.
Maye is still young and really hasn’t played a ton of football. Not like the other qbs in his class. He is still young and raw enough to be able to teach and coach him up into a elite player. There’s a reason people have been talking about him for the last 2 years. I think he has a ton of upside and gives us fans some thing to look forward too.
Drake does remind me a lot of Josh Allen. With great coaching I think he can be even better. Love how he controls the middle of the field and can beat corners on outside.
Im a Commanders fan and happy with Jayden but believe Maye could be a good QB, just as i believe a few guys this draft could be good. The top QBs this year have a shot and have been drafted in good places.
With Tom Brady it was all about vision, decision making, and the will to win. Will Drake have those qualities? Time will tell. But TB's hunger for greatness was truly unprecedented. It didn't matter how many times he won the Super Bowl. He always wanted more.
@@todmarvell4354 I think so. I never say Daniels throw into tight windows over the middle of the field often. He also has a good arm down the field I just dont think he has the velocity that Maye does imo!
Size, speed...and personality. We forget to mention how important it is that the player is a good person. What I don't particularly care for in Caleb Williams is his over-sized "me". I think Drake will keep his feet on the ground, be humble, be a team player, and create cohesion on his team. What's there not to like?
Trust me I know how good he is. He was my #1 QB in this Draft I just dont think it is time to start him. Hes only 21 and there are still alot of questions with this OL and WR group so no need to throw him out there week 1 and let him struggle like Mac did
the coverage of top qbs painted drake as the project, the bust potential. I literally can’t disagree more and will just say watch what happens ❤ and I watched every game every snap drake had in his 2 yrs starting.
I've watched every snap of JJ McCarthy Michigan career and I'm sure I have the same outlook on JJ as you do with Drake. I still like JJ over Drake but I'm starting to like what what I'm hearing coming out about him
@@Rayraywheelz Interesting you like JJ so much I just never saw him in a NFL type system so it concerned me that he could continually do it at the highest level was my only concern
He has a high ceiling. Pats need a lot of work. He is a rookie QB going into a developmental team with a hard ass fan base who still wants championships now. He has an uphill battle. Now can the pats lose and still not be calling for heads to roll and build it up?
This is more of a rebuild year then ever. New Coach, Top 3 QB and very low expectations. When Brady left I think people still thought we would dominate the NFL which was unlikely, but some thought it was that easy. Yes this is one of the most passionate fan base in the NFL, but when he is ready to go he is going to kill it imo
Its better to have rookies sit a little especially when you have a questionable OL and a WR core that needs to prove themselves. It is hard being a NFL QB no matter what pick you are so no need to rush him into it
What’s the rush? We don’t really know what this offense looks like. It could still be horrible. There’s no sense throwing him into a horrible offense to throw off his internal clock & mess with his mechanics. I’d rather be horrible again this year while he sits 3/4ths of the year, get him reps in low pressure games at the end of the year & then use another high draft pick to take a blue chip tackle or receiver next year and continue to build the offense. Then you start him the following year with a better offense. That way you’re kinda reverse engineering the “build the team around the QB before you draft him”. Drake is too good of a prospect to pass up on. Better than any of the prospects in the years to come IMO. So now we have him secured & we can focus on properly building around him while not completely destroying him.
My guess would be because he’s 21 and that gives him time to sit and learn. Despite wether he’s ready to start week 1 or week 10, he’s just going to be better prepared watching the speed of NFL defenses before he’s fed to them. Plus it gives coach Mayo time to see where the holes in his O line are. Don’t wanna get our new toy broken right away if we can avoid it. Do I believe he can start week 1? Yes. Do I also believe sitting for a bit would be beneficial? Also yes.
Drake Maye is either gonna be the next Sam Darnold, or Justin Herbert . I think Joe Milton has a real possibility of turning out to be the better QB long term. Joe Milton should really be the one getting Josh Allen comparisons
@@PatriotsDrive they have the same issues with their game so drafting him was a good idea to compare the improvement with Maye, and QBs dont peak until their late 20s early 30s, look at jarod goff
@@CJfromMEXICO Maye is more accurate and mobile, throws the ball better short to intermediate also imo. Milton has a huge arm and they both have things to improve on but this is Mayes team
@@PatriotsDrive they both struggle with short passes and accuracy but don’t disregard Mitlons moblie ability. i do think they both have great deep passes. so its kinda like the same weaknesses and same strengths. its all up to who develops better, right now this is Jacobys’ team😭
@@CJfromMEXICO it is for sure Jacobys team for now. Just for reference also Milton only has a 29.5% completion on passes past 20+ yards compared to Drake Mayes 47.6% Milton also has a 47% completion percentage in intermediate passes compared to Mayes 54%. The accuracy from Maye is better even though his footwork needs improvement
Totally agree. Especially with our OL and WR. They need to be improved and we dont expect to even compete for the division this year let alone a playoff push
@@PatriotsDrivebaker and Polk on the field they go get open quick and maye can sling it down the field and our offensive line is going to improve this summer it really is we have all summer long to get our offensive line better
I think its fine to cut Thornton, Juju is finally health so he might be better especially with Bourne coming off injury and its good to have a Vet. Hopefully he doesnt take away to much from Pop, Polk or Baker
Rest of NFL in trouble for letting Pats draft him....these Pats homers??...listen.. this Pats fan knows that its more about WHO Wolf/Mayo puts around him if he will be great......tbh...to this point...thru FA/trades...they have done very little to nothing. Lets not forget the line is still garbage.
Wolf did a great job resigning talent from the team like Onwenu, Dugger, Bourne, Henry and Uche. Expect them to sign more FA from other teams this upcoming year, but it was very important to keep talent here and not let them walk. They are already doing more by taking 2 young WR in the top 150 unlike Bill who only did that 2 times since 2013
Nope. Mac Jones didn't have his athleticism, arm strength or ability to drive the ball into tight Windows. Horrible comparison by you tbh, just because he's white doesn't mean he's the same
I dont see it. Once Maye figures out his footwork and has a OL and weapons I can see him being a Top 5 QB one day. Has all the tools and intangibles and hes only 21.

just subbed..great stuff here
Appreciate it! GO PATS
Drake does remind me a lot of Josh Allen. With great coaching I think he can be even better. Love how he controls the middle of the field and can beat corners on outside.
That is his best attribue. He can rope throws into tight windows because of his strong arm
He has a chance to be a great one
Yes he does!

McCarthy has that vision
Subed soon as u said Javon baker
Got his film dropping in about a week and half!
Maye throws into NFL windows. He may have more Ints early but can grow out of those bad plays
Yes he does. He can fit it into those windows to better then anyone in the class so once he figures it out he will be great

Tyquoan will flourish. Pop will ball out. They would explode. With that D, playoffs at least with possibility of thunderstorms.
😴💤⏰ wake up, you're dreaming...
Ive lost faith in Tyquan. Pop will make a huge leap imo and Im excited to see Polk and Baker with Maye!
and Kashaun Boutte!-there's your deep threat!
I’m with you on a lot of that but talking about playoffs rn is just delusional
Man there’s a lot of optimism in this thread! Let me guess… JuJu gonna be good too huh 😂
How can a number 3 pick not be a day one starter. Cannot wrap my head around that one.

I mean Mac Jones is a pretty good example of why you don’t start a first round qb with a mid team around him.
Totally agree starting a first round pick if you don’t have to is not ideal

Because the Pats have no OL/WR room is green/bad. Nothing to do with Maye.
Bills fans better start getting nervous again.....about to go on another 31-3 run again....lol
He needs more weapons
He's off background throwing is tremendous
Patriots keep bad WRs like Thornton/Schuster....let FAs who are 10 times better sign with other teams.
Belichick did that. You can't compare the new regime to the past one

Welcome back Mac jones
Except more athletic, has a better arm and 2 inches taller😂
Until actual games are played, and ability and results in these are obtained everything is nothing but speculations. Nothing more.
Everybody keeps on saying Josh Allen, but we could definitely end up with Daniel Jones. He can run too, but sucks at everything else.
Daniel Jones is not a good comp. Just because he is a ACC QB he never did what Maye did in college and doesnt have the arm or intangibles Maye has
I don’t know man I feel like Joe Milton will be a better pick in the long run
I dont see it. Once Maye figures out his footwork and has a OL and weapons I can see him being a Top 5 QB one day. Has all the tools and intangibles and hes only 21.
