How can the Patriots plan for Maye's development to be maximized?

[@heathhersom6579]

If you think you need to fire both the OC, DC, and hire an "overlord" to babysit Jerod then maybe they should just fire Jerod.

[@donjohnson2758]

Curran carrying water for his buddy Mayo & Kraft.

[@Vaihinger]

Exactly. No journalistic integrity any more at all. It's embarrassing.

[@justinmurray1343]

Cant wait til Phil completely takes these podcasts over

[@Nmiller21k]

Curran, Washing doesn't have a rookie coaching staff of first times. Quinn / Kliff both experienced coaches.

[@brucelee4357]

Pats had the chance to get kliff but he didn’t want to come to this dumpster fire of a team.

[@LAKEVILLEMA]

Imagine if Drake wasnt throwing to the worst roster in the NFL, behind the worst offensive line in the NFL, and with the worst coaching staff in the NFL. Robert Kraft WTF are you going to do about this?

[@Sas6903]

tom this was a hard listen due to you stepping on Breer - we get it he talks a lot- you knew what you were getting when you asked him to join the pod. Please just let him talk

[@Vaihinger]

Simple. Fire Mayo.

[@michaellalli7693]

First order of business is fortify both Offensive & Defensive Lines. If you can protect Drake Maye you can give him a better running game and should reduce and avoid turnovers. Find a couple receivers that create space and watch Maye cook.

[@petermarshall6577]

Hire a real GM and fire Groh and Wolf is a start.

[@GregMatses]

Should have kept Belichick and hired a real GM - brought back Josh McDaniels as OC and fired Mayo for insubordination last season

[@boominszn]

You trade back with Vegas for a haul, you draft a tackle, because recovers always become available for sign or trade tackles do not. Sign tee Higgins.

[@Diostillrocks]

The Pats would need the 1st or 2nd pick to do that. If they get the 3rd or below, it will be difficult to trade down.

[@trentbateman]

This would be tremendous. Firing Mayo and bringing in Vrabel would also help

[@unrulybill]

@@Diostillrocksdon’t they have the 2nd rn if it ended now

[@boominszn]

@@Diostillrocks right now they are 2nd. I don’t see them winning again unless Buffalo rests starters. And unfortunately although Mayo is not a good coach they will not fire him after one season and admit they were wrong. He’s definitely coming back at least one more year and if he’s bad again then they make a move. Unfortunately Vrabel will already be coaching elsewhere so they’re gonna miss out which is stupid. They should just make the move now and get Vrabel but they won’t admit they were wrong.

[@Diostillrocks]

@@boominszn reports says otherwise about Mayo.

[@1stNameBrian]

I’m proud to be a patriots fan diehard

[@mathewkonecny6276]

I know this doesn’t sound the best, but if we’re gonna promote within, I wouldn’t mind seeing what Ben McAdoo has to offer as an offensive coordinator

[@ErickP3768]

I would like add when we acquire player through FA we should actually use them. Or at the very least make sure they are a fit for the system we are trying to run otherwise we are just wasting money and a roster spot.

[@DMKFACTOR]

Unfortunately, this past year’s free agency class wasn’t the best! Especially at the 4-5 most crucial positions we need to fill. Something no one wants to talk about! Lots of teams are going to have to make some major roster overhauls this next offseason. This year should be much better. Plus we should have nearly 30 roster spots open and a 130 million in cap space.

[@thomasramsay5093]

I love Albert breer

[@JohnCutajarDynamicBeliefs]

Bottom line we can get two stud tackles in FA a d a good receiver plus a draft. If Pats organization doesnt do that then its a wrap

[@brucelee4357]

You can dream but if players and good coaches don’t want to come here regardless of how much the pats pay them. Are you still going to blame the front office like an idiot? You cannot force players and coaches to come here if they don’t want to it’s called free will learn the word.

[@JohnCutajarDynamicBeliefs]

@brucelee4357 people will come for the cash. Not sure why I would be an idiot to point out Pats did very little to improve the line and the draft aa of now is suspect. I will dream

[@user-vg2eg7oo5n]

Maximizing turnovers and losing. Mayo will develop Maye into the J-E-T-S version of Sam Darnold.

[@britneyystaples91]

Nah, Drakes too good to be that bad. Yeah the team may not win because of Mayo but Drake will have his stats and highlight reel plays. Drake makes alot more good plays than bad plays and is always dangerous with the ball in his hands.

[@trentonpearsall2598]

No one wants a football babysitter for your coach who can't coach, & your gm who can't evaluate talent... just clean house and do it right this time

[@Oldguard_8]

Ditch Mayo fast, quit the Mayo/Kraft/Thunder-enabling trial balloons. Losing respect for Curran, 3-14 and the dumpster fire we've witnessed, seen the staff moves, and HC inability to scheme....just common sense - believe your eyes - don't try and gas light. How far will you lower the bar to enable Mayo? Did 0 to prepare himself for the role - just managed to con Thunder. The 'hot seat' is the 3 win season with the much-lauded defense looking lost, and Mayo showing NOTHING to fix. Just stop. And like Mayo, you say 2 things opposing one another; Mayo hot seat was media generated; Pats fans at most alienated from franchise in 30 years.

[@maddenplaya2097]

🤣🤡

[@kicka11]

Using gaslighting incorrectly is like an epidemic among idiots.

[@sammoor350]

Curran refusing to criticize the organization as always. Bringing everyone back from a last ranked offense threatens Drake’s and the teams’ development more than anything. But god forbid Curran be critical in his analysis.

[@jackthequarterback]

Upgrade roster and coaching +front office staff. We’ve got a 22y/o unicorn and he’s not getting help from anyone. Jerod should be fired for no other reason than he can’t attract quality coaches to the staff. If he’s secretly this great HC behind the scenes he’ll have to win a lot with bums before quality coaches even sniff this team.

[@spacemarine7434]

Belichick only had 1 more win than Mayo in his first season with the Pats. I know this generation lacks patience but c'mon dude.

[@Diostillrocks]

Firing coaches every year hurts development of young QBs. Been proven over and over again.

[@douglassmith2878]

I’m a Maye fan as much as the next guy but calling him a unicorn is an overstatement and will lead to emotional decisions, such as perhaps firing the entire coaching staff and front office. Let’s not turn into the Cleveland browns or NY Jets please

[@jackthequarterback]

@@spacemarine7434 2

[@jackthequarterback]

@@douglassmith2878 the last time the jets have fired a coach after 1 year was decades ago. The browns kept a guy who went 0-16 and then went 1-15. If anything you made my point, bad franchises keep bad coaches for too long.

[@JohnCutajarDynamicBeliefs]

It is different in Washington because better support and better then Maye today.

[@brucelee4357]

Let’s be real here before they hired Mayo no one including kliff wanted to come here. They had no choice to work with what they have now. No good coaches wanted to come to this shithole of a dumpster fire franchise and build it back up.

[@jacobhughes9010]

If you hire Ben Johnson you can keep AVP even tho Ben Johnson calls plays and if you hire Vrabel then you have to make a decision between brining in Josh McDaniels which is what I’d do, Or keeping AVP. But you could keep Mccartny or MacAdo to work with josh as well. (Because AVP wouldn’t accept a demotion obviously)

[@KevanBrose]

Sign both tee Higgins and Chris godwin. 9 out of the top 10 wrs in the draft could be studs pats would find the 1 dud and draft him. Also sign Ronnie Stanley and trey Smith. Oline needs it. Pats have the money. This opens up the entire draft for another tackle DE DT LB FS developmental rb te

[@JohnCutajarDynamicBeliefs]

Great take....only issue that costs $$$ and do we really believe the drafts will spend the $$$

[@Nick-fc9xy]

Mayo is a clown.

[@ddavidone6538]

AVP is the best coach on the team. Last thing you want to do is fire him and start a brand new offense in Mayes 2nd year. Ask Mac Jones how that worked

[@bigdaddypoling8008]

Lock up 2nd pick , trade back to 3 draft Travis & get compensated

[@Diostillrocks]

Jacksonville is not going to trade up. Tennessee perhaps will.

[@user-vg2eg7oo5n]

And have Wolf pick more stiffs.

[@Diostillrocks]

@@user-vg2eg7oo5n Wolf only had 1 year of full control and not having Belicheat looking over his shoulder.

[@brucelee4357]

Why the fuck would Jacksonville trade up and give the pats a free pick if there’s no other team ahead of them. You make no fucking sense.

[@SkeletorsSon]

6:12 Washington have had the easiest draw in the NFL, the fact that you 2 don't know that shows you are casuals. We would have 6 wins with their draw they lost all 5 games against the teams that aren't on our level and their only decent win was against the Bengals in week 3.

[@JacobGen]

Oh I don’t know…maybeeeee….LOOK AT THE SALARY CAP?!?!?!?

[@jaydubbs3902]

Fire all coaches and GM and put out this Dumpster fire that Kraft built. Kraft has become the worst owner in sports and demolished the team Brady created for 2 decades. Without Brady, we have seen what a disaster Kraft is. Kraft choose Belichick over Brady and Mayo over Belichick. Can we fire the owner?

[@bailey123198]

Agree with many things said below. I'd add, Radio, TV Reporters: find a way to put Eliot Wolfs feet to the fire. He's either hiding in the closet or has his office door locked. Needs to be called out, feel the heat to upgrade in key positions. Pats have some good players but certainly not enough. ✌🏈🎥🎬 $$ Showtime Eliot!!!

[@marksylvia7087]

Caron is lost trying to have a insightful conversation

[@hsad1234]

Jayden is good but he makes mistakes too.. Maye being two years younger and playing with the 32 ranked OL and no talent is right there with Jayden imo

[@patricktotten9712]

Step 1) Fire Jerod Mayo and Elliot Wolfe

[@UltimaKombat]

Mayo isn’t going anywhere. Commenters are delusional at this point. Get over it, and look at what the team can build toward with that given fact.

[@samue33d]

Can’t build toward anything with him behind the wheel. Drake Maye’s talent alone will win enough games next year To ensure we are stuck in mediocrity until Maye demands a trade 5 years down the line. This was our one chance to get rid of him before he wriggles his way permanently into “thunder’s” brain It’s clear as day there’s not a single team in the NFL that could win a championship with Mayo as their HC.

[@theblackflame4002]

It took how many starts before they called a QB sneak? Fire the entire staff because no legit coaches are going to come here to work with any of these jokes

[@Richcaldo]

Albert Breer apologized for reporting the truth about Mayo? This was the most perverse podcast on the patriots and Mayo. You won’t win with this staff, regardless how much Tommy tells you to ignore your eyes and the smell test.

[@ericfein9851]

Curran is always making excuses for Mayo. They could hire Vrabel but no someone else will and we will fire Mayo in 2 years

[@Richcaldo]

Add to a horrible staff? Tommy is setting the narrative that Mayo is the answer. Last year D 4th. This year 31fst. Tell us what Mayo does well? The entire organization is set up for failure.

[@k.t.robinson6339]

He backstabbed and unstabilized bb …. Snake 🐍

[@Diostillrocks]

Lose every remaining game. Get the 1st or 2nd overall pick and trade that pick.

[@JaSidaK]

Drake is not a NFL starter QB

[@Orcasrule6355]

The patriots for some reason can’t draft wrs. Take Travis hunter. If he doesn’t work out at receiver put him at cornerback. Kraft has to open his wallet & go after Higgins or Godwin. Kraft has to start doing things the ways every other team does. Brady is gone. Forget the old “Patriot way” burn some cash & help this kid. Coaching isn’t the problem. We had the goat of coaches & qbs & Krafts ego pushed them away

[@Bramblebrae]

Tom’s new cause celeb is obviously the idea of a football overlord …a new horse that he’ll keep eating to death.

[@googlechicken]

Trade him to another team

[@patricktotten9712]

This narrative of a “football overlord” is the STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard.

[@adamsaldana4081]

What if tee Higgins resigns or goes to another team ??? At that point you need to sign a left take and draft Travis Hunter, we’re shit out of luck if tee Higgins goes somewhere else

[@trentbateman]

Tee is done in cincy. They draft and develop guys at wideout. Sign Tee and draft LT and maybe a center to replace Andrew’s. Just fix the line and then we can run the ball as well as protect our franchise QB

[@adamsaldana4081]

@ what if Higgins goes somewhere else who are we getting at receiver, Higgins is gonna want the bag, worst case they do offer the bag and still declines, who the hell is gonna be our number 1 receiver, because the patriots have a second pick they are already thinking. About trading the pick when you got Travis Hunter in your face, the patriots have passed on, Aj brown,deebo samuel,mckonkey,who they gonna draft at receiver, line men, they are gonna have to sign in free agency

[@trentbateman]

@@adamsaldana4081 you don’t need great wideouts to win. You get your slot guy and a good red zone tight end. As long as the qb has time he will throw them open. Guys we have now are def functional, but no o line makes it impossible even with good receivers as you can’t run the ball and you have to get the ball out in 2.5 seconds

[@martinj205]

This is an excuse making festival coming from the Krafts through these guys. This is not anywhere near acceptable and they had better wake up and make some serious changes or me and several thousands of fans like me will stop tuning in on Sundays.
