"It was a rocky showing for Maye and the Patriots during their season-opening loss to the Raiders on Sunday afternoon. Maye completed 30-of-46 passes for 287 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the 20-13 loss. At face value, that stat line doesn't map out a disastrous showing from the young QB. But, after Maye completed 14-of-20 throws for 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half, both he and the Patriots' offense struggled coming out of halftime."
"Speaking on WEEI Monday morning, Mike Vrabel was asked if the Patriots were perhaps putting too much on Maye's plate out of the gate in terms of the intricate offensive system that Josh McDaniels utilizes as the team's offensive coordinator. "I think we have to evaluate that. We have to find out, is there something there? We have to figure out what our guys do best, and then do that," Vrabel said."
Drake Maye completed 30-of-46 passes for 287 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 20-13 loss to the Raiders. He completed 14-of-20 throws for 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half but struggled after halftime. An interception on New England's first third-quarter drive preceded four drives that produced just two first downs and no points. Mike Vrabel said the coaching staff must evaluate whether too much was placed on Maye learning Josh McDaniels' intricate offense. Maye rejected calls to lighten his workload, saying being an NFL quarterback brings a heavy plate regardless of team.
