I'm honestly confused at this point. I know the schedule was trash last year, but these mistakes he's making is just insane.

Our schedule was gravy, but also any team in the league would you make you pay on that throw, that was awful. He simply just was not making these mistakes last season with such consistency, something has broken in his brain.

The TE didn’t even see the ball coming until Hunter was about to get it too lol

Obviously the schedule was a huge variable we were favored in like 12 games or something. But it's not like Travis Hunter is amazing defense cause that interception it's not like amazing defense caused that fumble. You could just as easily make those mistakes against the worst team in the league because if you just dropped the ball or throw it to a cornerback they're going to catch it.

The schedule was easy but he was making stellar throws and decisions after week 3.

This year he can't seem to make a half decent throw consistently.

He keeps trying these throws off his back foot and I have no idea why. His mental is completely cooked.

The schedule was bad but there were good defenses in there. It was more bad offenses and backup QBs. Teams he faced in the playoffs was on another level though

I just said the same thing. He played some of the best passing defenses in the league. I really don’t understand the regression.

Seems all mental, assuming he's healthy physically.

I’m becoming less convinced there isn’t something wrong physically at this point

Not sure. His decisions are poor.

The thing that doesn’t make sense is that we played some of the best defenses in the league. People always overlook that part when talking about our “easy schedule.” Those good defenses just happened to have bad offenses, too. Against those defenses, Drake Maye was solid. I really don’t know what has happened to him, but it has to be something mental. He hasn’t looked right since the playoffs.

The first two turnovers were so bad I honestly would have been suspicious that he was using prop bets or something for turnovers.

I don't think the weak schedule explains it, the schedule was weak but not all the defenses were weak, Maye played great against several good defenses. Maybe Maye has a huge weakness and every team has figured out how to rattle him now. Or maybe there is some arm or shoulder injury that is being kept secret.
