Drake Maye looks ‘the real deal’ for the New England Patriots | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
New England Patriots looking good. Three straight wins for the first time since 2022. They beat the Saints 25-9. Drake May 261 passing yards, couple of touchdowns. And Drake May is looking like the real deal. Yeah, he really is. And the the thing that is fun about him, we don’t know where that ceiling’s going to be. Is he going to be one of the top five, seven quarterbacks in the NFL? He can make things happen when the play that’s called goes sideways. That’s one of the hallmarks that separates you from the pack of the great to the best of the best. And they restored hope in New England. It worked out well because there was just enough of a buffer between Tom Brady and Drake May. Yeah. Right. It’s impossible to be the guy that follows Tom Brady in New England. So there was enough time and enough space. Yeah. M Jones, Bailey Zappy, and enough, you know, nobody nobody is delusional in New England enough to think that it’s going to be like it was, but they bottomed out and now they’re moving up again. And that’s kind of that’s kind of fun to see. Like, and I Devin McCordi made the comment yesterday, “Yeah, y’all are going to hate the Patriots again.” Like, we we we don’t hate them anymore collectively because we’re not sick of them anymore. That’s what happens in sick of the same team. Give somebody else a turn. It happened to the Chiefs. It’s happened to the Eagles and it happened to the Patriots for years and years and years, give somebody else a turn and now they’re the team that’s trying to take the turn away from the established teams and it’s it’s fun to watch. Good for them to to dig out of what had been a bad few years, right? It feels fresh and new. And that was I mean again Drake May that was that was an unbelievable performance. That was like to your point a top 10, top six, top seven quarterback in football type of performance. They couldn’t run the ball. Their defense didn’t play their best yesterday. Drake May’s big plays with his big arm and then a few scramles were the reason they won the game. And that’s two weeks in a row where New England can go, we won the game because of Drake May.

Never forget Simms had Maye rated as one of the lowest QBs in the 2024 draft class
Well… I've been consistent in saying that Maye is far ahead of every HoF QB over the last 50 years in their 2nd year, including Marino's 2nd year when he lit it up for over 40 TDs and went to the SB. Marino was a thrower, and an excellent one. He was never a passer. His score of 13 on the old Wonderlic had a lot to do with that. Maye has a Brady like mind. He's only in his 2nd year.
If the 2024 Patrios reminded me of another team, it was the 89 Cowboys; Aikman's rookie year. The Cowboys went 1-15 that year.
The hatriots, aka the haters, are going to be back.
Sims hated Maye, haha. All the seasonal draft guys did. Including Ryan Poles
It helps that Maye's playing style is nothing like Brady's. He's a totally different quarterback.
