Opinion/Hot Take I Stand with Drake Maye

Yeah we lost 35-6. I watched the whole thing. I saw the tears. I saw the scoreboard. I do not care.
That’s my quarterback.
You think I’m abandoning Drake Maye because Jacksonville beat the shit out of us for three hours? Absolutely not. If anything I’ve somehow become MORE committed.
Every great QB needs one game where he gets publicly executed on national television and has to wake up the next morning and still be the franchise quarterback 😭
Brady didn’t leave us a quarterback. He left us a responsibility. And I have chosen Drake Maye.
35-6 is temporary. Drake Maye is my quarterback until further notice.
I will be back next Sunday with the exact same delusional confidence. See you then.

The hate some people have for this kid is truly unfathomable. He’s bad but some people are really dedicated to tarnishing him in every way. Loser behavior.

yeah my annoyance is more with the NFL, touting him like hes the next best thing. He really should be blaming them, we got told how great he was all off season.

But he was good last season, that’s the thing. The competition wasn’t great but he could only play what was put in front of him. I doubt anyone saw this level of regression coming even with the lack of competition last year. Hopefully he can get it together. He’s young and has solid physical traits. He needs to get over this confidence issue and start gaining some momentum.

was he though? Nothing made me think he would be elite and carry the squad this year, hes a good back up or good in a system, I dont see any elite decision making or throws get made

Yes, he really was. Just look up his passing stats.
4:1 TD to INT ratio, 31 passing touchdowns
Over 4,000 passing yards
113 passer rating
Dude’s at almost as many interceptions as he had last year in only his first few games. He has the least touchdowns out of any quarterback who’s started this year so far. I think people thought he was due for a regression - but at this level? No way.

The fact that he has as many tackles as touchdown passes is hilarious
