Mac didn’t get much support, but he was not the qb of the future. Got figured out towards the end of his rookie year.

More than a decent arm the kid has a rocket. I don't think the Pats did him justice with some of these highlights because a lot of times he was throwing guys open at UNC. He had no one that could separate so he had to.

Drake maye is less experienced then most of these QBs but in his Short time put up the same numbers if not better then these QBs who played at least 4 seasons or more (which several of the QBs did), where Drake played like 3 but 2 full seasons.. Maye started 26 games over three seasons for UNC, throwing 63 touchdowns to 16 interceptions and earning ACC Player of the Year (2022) and leading the ACC in passing (2023) along the way. He finished his college career with a 17-9 record as a starter. 618-for-952 for 8,018 yards and 63 TDs, while rushing for 1,209 yards and 16 TDs.

[@plazik7481]

Glad they got it right. He's too talented to pass up on idc about the inconsistency his last year when he's playing with 1 other teammate on the offensive side of the ball who's considered a top 100 prospect. Let him sit a year, unless he's so good in practice and they're confident he's ready then start him around week 9-10, but I'd really like him to sit and then the Pats get a big time WR or LT in free agency next year + another draft. AD Mitchell, Ladd McCkonkey, and Troy Franklin are all still on the board and it's not like the Bills can get all of them at pick 33. Personally I'll be praying for AD Mitchell, if the Pats come out of this with Drake Maye and AD Mitchell it's already an A, A+ draft for me

[@austinmorse4337]

I think what we as fans need to understand is we need to let this young kid develop. Let him work on his game his footwork, adjusting to nfl style of play. After he works on the mechanics and the dynamic of patriots style football. He can succeed and use that cannon arm, athletism. We have to be patient. Also, the Patriots now need to load up the offense to help this kid succeed. If the Patriots can do that we ca be set up for all of success!

[@5020maine]

Let’s get it get this man a tackle and a #1 WR

[@jacksonthompson6903]

As somebody familiar with his college game, there's so much to be excited about and some things that definitely need work. Drake has great touch on passes, overall solid pocket presence, has the ability to throw guys open, has a really good deep ball, and knows how to work the middle of the field, especially on the middle to deep routes. That's not something most guys at the college level are comfortable with. He does tend to get happy feet and foot work can be sloppy, but that's correctable. He needs to work on his short throws. Too often on quick slants, he would hit the guy in the shoulder or just behind him instead of leading him forward. His downfield accuracy is incredible, but the short throws need work and will be important for his development. Another thing he struggled with this year particularly was fade throws down the sideline. Far too often, the pass would trail too far out of bounds to give an open receiver a chance. Keep in mind the following too. Maye put up the numbers he did at UNC behind statistically one of the 15-20 worst offensive lines in the country in pass protection. He's used to getting sacked a lot with 37 sacks and 40 sacks in 2023 and 2022 respectively, so he is very tough. Last year, UNC also had the nation's 2nd leading rusher on the field, which took pressure off, but also dipped Maye's numbers. He's had the benefit of working with two different offensive coordinators already, which shows a good deal of versatility in my opinion. Furthermore, he's also had the privilege of working with Clyde Christensen, who has worked with Tom Brady and developed Payton Manning and Andrew Luck. Off the field, you are going to get a locker room leader from Day 1. A guy who is going to walk in, carry the weight of being "the QB" and do what it takes to win games. When I look at guys like Caleb Williams, I'm immediately turned off by his personality. It's a lot of me and I. Drake is as humble as it gets, comes from an incredible family, and has always had siblings to push him to become the best he can be. He's always going to be studying film, always going to be on the field finding ways to get better. I think Drake has a really high ceiling in the league and I think as good as he can become, people are going to be most impressed with his demeanor, attitude, and leadership. Hoping Drake makes a big splash in New England!

[@malikmartin481]

As a Pats fan, I’m rooting for him to succeed and I think he can be our franchise QB. Personally, I wanted Daniels as our QB of the future, but Maye was the best available

People saying he's underthrowing some of these apparently don't know what throwing with touch is? Some of these are underthrown but his arm strength is not the worry but his accuracy and anticipation. Both are fixable with coaching.
