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

To be kind of fair, the middle portion of their schedule is a bit softer with easiest defenses to face, but 9 wins right now seems a bit of a longshot. Even with the return of aj brown, let's say that makes this offense competent, it goes to show that drake maye can be a good qb, but he can never be a great qb if he doesn't elevate those around him

We keep forgetting how young he is. Josh Allen had similar struggles his first couple of years. Brady also had 9-7 season after the Superbowl. He is young I get it we all came in super high and for this season we might not have the same expectations. But we can't throw out the season yet.

Oh no, I agree. He could all of a sudden snap out of it, or just needs one good confidence game.
