"What a difference an offseason and the addition of a top professional to run your football operation make. Maye was superb in his rookie season with all the cards stacked against him. He had no first-team reps at all until about game four of the regular season. He had a worst-in-the-NFL offensive line. And, his wide receiving corps stunk. Yet he still completed 66 percent of his passes."
"Edelman cites Maye's leading the NFL in completion percentage and deep balls, beating the mighty Bills (in Buffalo, no less), and that he's improving weekly. That last comment wasn't upheld after the win against the Falcons, 24-23, though. Nobody's perfect. Drake Maye had a poor game (for him) in the win against the Falcons. His line was 19 for 29 for 259 yards and a meager (for Maye) 65.5 percent completion rate with two touchdowns, an interception, and a costly fumble."
After a three-game stumble under new head coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots have surged to a seven-game win streak driven by rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Maye overcame a rookie year with no first-team reps until about game four, a poor offensive line, and weak wide receiver play yet completed 66 percent of his passes. Maye now leads the NFL in completion percentage and deep balls, helped beat Buffalo in Buffalo, and has shown weekly improvement; Julian Edelman called him the NFL's MVP thus far. He had a subpar performance against the Falcons: 19-of-29 for 259 yards, 65.5 percent completion, two touchdowns, one interception and a fumble.
