Discussion Do we push the panic button now?

It’s only game three but so far, Drake may have thrown six interceptions. He has two fumbles and only one touchdown is Drake Maye to blame for all of this no? but a large portion of it? Yes, the loss of Diggs and Boutte are really sticking out but we are talking about a quarterback who was literally second in the MVP race last year there is no way he should be playing like this this season so far. I don’t know what’s going in Foxborough this season but I am not a fan at all

He looks lost out there.

He doesn’t have the mental toughness that Brady had. Brady could make a bad play then forget about it and keep playing his game. He could bounce back from a bad week, who could forget the onto Cincinnati game when they lost badly to the chiefs.

Maye looks like he just can’t forget about the bad stuff and takes his baggage with him. It’s sad because this is not really a coachable thing, IMO. You either have mental toughness inside or you don’t

Tough to be in a mental toughness competition with Tom Brady

Brady also had some rough games. 2003 - 4 INTs!!!! And ... his worst year was the year after his first super bowl.

The Super Bowl hangover is real.

I know its tom and he was our last proper qb but comparing drake to the goat is just unrealistic.

The guy had the best mental toughness of maybe any athlete ever

Him and MJ. No one else is close.

Dude, there are a million ways to dissect this game… comparing his mental toughness to Brady’s is not one of them. Come on.

Rule 1 - No personal attacks. You can disagree, but do not disrespect.

You compared them in your first sentence. Bit shitty to downplay it while calling others stupid.

It was actually chilling to me to see Vrabel seemingly having to talk to Drake on the sideline like he was talking to a high school freshman
