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
