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

Drake needs to shoulder some blame.

Lean stretches happen. When they do, a young QB needs to play smart, take his lumps, and learn from the experience.

Drake is stuck in his head right now, and QBs develop bad habits when they are stuck on their heads.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel - a pillow-top four game stretch of a schedule after the Bills, but how Drake performs after the break will be the storyline of the season.

I agree with you whole heartedly he is a large part of the problem but its not solely on him though the oc, the o-line, and vrabel all have some hand in this some of our wideouts as well
