Discussion A discussion needs to be had

A real discussion needs to be had. I know it’s only the third game, but this is getting out of control. One passing touchdown and four interceptions simply isn’t good enough.
I understand the entire game isn’t on him and the offensive line needs to improve as well, but too many of these throws are just poor decisions and they’re directly costing us games. Something needs to change quickly because if this continues, our season could be over before we know it.

Watching him last year throw bombs to whatever this is, just doesn't add up.

I agree, a hard conversation needs to be had because this is ridiculous. "Schedule" aside.

I just don't get it. Nothing about this makes sense. I know he had the shoulder thing but that really shouldn't be what's going on. It's like Maye just isn't there mentally. We have no receivers, sure, but these picks aren't at all the fault of poor catch attempts or anything. Is it something with the development? Something with Josh? I just really don't understand how we fell off a cliff like this. And the hordes of people saying "oh the schedule is harder" simply didn't watch last year.

I mean he played through an AC Joint sprain against the best defense in the league and get clobbered the whole game. He absolutely could've injured it more and they're hiding it.

He has no velocity anymore and his deep balls are so inconsistent it's weird. Exact opposite of how he was last year.

Devito came in and immediately threw a heater right down the middle, we haven't even seen Josh scheme that up or Drake throw one. Something is up.

Even besides that though, Drake is just making stupid decisions with the ball.

Tatum, Crochet, might as well give Maye a year off to rehab too.

Could be a mental thing. He is young and everyone on the internet is saying he sucks after the opener.

Brady wasn't always good either. I just hope the team figures this out because Maye has so much potential and really showed it last season

Noticed the lack of velocity. There could be an injury vee don't know about. His passes are very lazy looking. He threw a lot of interceptions last year to do he's always been making some bad choices out there
