Drake Maye’s Film Is Like Riding A Rollercoaster | New England Patriots 

Idea: make a second Drake Maye vid next year, analyzing how what points he improved, or failed to, after 1 season as NFL QB.

True dual threat who put up great stats with teammates who are bums. Not as tested as the other top QB prospects but the potential is there.

Drake Mayes film is like riding a roller coaster with 3 or 4 bumps but the rest of it is some of the best roller coaster you’ve ever seen

I see some Justin Herbert for his high end comp. His low end comp to me is Jets version Sam darnold. He might end up better or worse or in between those two I think it depends on where he goes. If he goes to Minnesota or even Washington he has a chance to be good if he goes to New England he has little chance to be good.

I think Minnesota is the best situation for both Maye and McCarthy... Unfortunately for the two, only one QB will end up in Minnesota come draft night

I’m not a Drake doubter, but I don’t like the Josh Allen comp, he gets way too skittish in the pocket when he gets hit. Just because he’s big and can take off doesn’t mean he’s like Allen

For me Drake Maye is my QB2 in this class and that hasn’t changed at all. I understand the footwork concerns with him because they do pop up on his tape consistently leading his accuracy to be inconsistent. But for the people saying he has terrible footwork those people are overblowing it. I believe his footwork issues are not hard to fix and if he fixes it he has the ceiling of being a top 5 qb in the league

Oh my gosh this is so true!! Great vid😂❤

The Pats fan in me watches this nervously 🤣

drake is only 21 as long as he doesn’t go to a mess he’ll be a great qb in year 2-3

I don't pretend I know for sure how these guys will pan out but I'm quite sure if Maye played behind LSU's OL and had Nabers and Thomas Jr to throw to, his numbers this year would have been outrageous. Slightly better OL play and Josh Downs and he put up like 40% more numbers in 2022.

Love the channel man you are doing great work.

Waiting on that Jayden Daniels breakdown 👀👀

Great break down Homie 🏈 !!!

He needs to sit and develop. I think Minnesota is the best place but the Patriots will pick him. He needs an offensive minded coach that will be patient. Justin Herbert had red flags and that’s a good comparison

One draft evaluation said Drake Maye had "vibey footwork" that might be the most 2024 draft evaluation i’ve ever heard

Not making this comparison by any means, but I remember seeing a video about Mahomes during the draft process with the EXACT same title

The only reason I say he's a Patriot is why get rid of a NC QB for a fresher one if you're Washington?

W video and Keep up the great content

Drake Maye has potentially more upside than any other quarterback this draft. He is also much younger than the other top tier quarterbacks. If the goal in the NFL is to win championships, then I can't see rolling the dice being a bad thing for a team like the Patriots. The whole issue with Mac Jones -- beyond his disaster of a final year -- was he had a low ceiling. What is the point of drafting a starter at the most important position if they will never have the potential to be top 5 or top 10? It is almost impossible to win without an elite QB, so go for broke.

This was a very balanced and thorough examination of Drake Maye. One of the best I have seen. I disagree with your conclusion but I loved your analysis. I would have liked it if you had addressed how slow Drake is at getting through his reads and getting rid of the ball. He took longer throwing the ball then any other QB in Division one football. I have tried to find another QB who has ben this slow who went on to be a good QB in the Nfl and did not find any.

I left a negative comment a couple weeks ago, and I came back to watch this video and you did a great job here man.

Can you make a video on Jayden Daniels?

Under preasure he either throws it up or just forces it.that is a disandvantage of him also, he doesnt play like qb ready for the pros.he doesnt have very good timing. the wrs are usally open to an exctent

Glad to have him on the Pats. Hopefully we don't blow it like we did with Mac. Good thing he's good at scrambling, because our O-line is terrible.

its always risky when you're banking on potential .. i guess that's the case with alluvem

welcome to NE drake!🫡

Even the good plays you showed his footwork was still crazy. Just look how far he steps up. He’s stepping into the linemen not to an open area. He’s lazy in the pocket with his movements. Plus look how he clicks his heels on step ups. His loses his base and throws erratic passes. His bust potential is so high it’s scary to think about picking him top 10. He has way too much to clean up as a QB.

It'll all depend on how well he's coached and how well he learns that coaching. Jordan Love had bad footwork, hell he had had footwork at the start of last season (his feet just didn't match what his shoulders were doing) but game after game it got better and better and by game 12 the bad footwork had become good to great footwork. I suspect Maye has bad footwork for the same reason Love did, a talented cannon of an arm he relies on too much. This trait can be coached out of a player, if you want a textbook example of this wath Love game tape from last year.

Drake Maye has had NFL level QB coaching for years, in high school Josh McCown and at UNC Clyde Christensen (Peyton Manning, Luck, Tom Brady former coach) and still has mechanical issues and mental mistakes, so none of them could fix his flaws? Or is it a case that he just does not learn.. pretty big red flag!

As a Giants fan and Oregon fan I was in love with Hurbert, I wanted the giants to wait a year for him but they drafted Daniel Jones and drake is way closer to Danny dimes then hurbert imo. Watching drake this year hoping he could be the next giants QB just prove made me remember of a younger Danny dimes with all those clueless mistake but nice straight speed and 2-3 nice throws per games

Drake Maye is going to be great

Drake Maye tape is like a shakey wooden roller coaster where the support structures are very weak causing a lot of the bumps

I don’t see him going #2 like many keep saying. Daniels’ stock has risen, Nabers stock has risen. I see him going at least top 6 but not 2

Drake maye could be Josh Allen 2.0 or could be Zach Wilson 2.0

You mean that there are 10 guys on the planet who could make that throw constantly, because I can make that throw ( 1out of a hundred or so)

He threw the game losing interception to my Virginia Cavaliers so that’s that lol.

As giants fan i wish daboll could get this guy.

Honestly if Washington drafts Drake or Jayden i wouldn't be mad with either dude.

Even tho I’m biased, I think Maye will more likely then not be an average to above average NFL starting QB. The thing I dislike most about him is he NEVER shows up in big games, he has an abysmal record against ranked teams.

He is not a first rd draft pick, however the talking heads (media) is trying to talk up his draft stock. This is how teams get draft steals, by over drafting players. 😅

When i think North Carolina QBs i think Sam Howell, Mitch Trubisky and T.J. Yates. The list is concerning

Did you say "500 yards in a season?", I don't think any coaches are going to want him taking that risk.

Day 6 asking for a Texans analysis video

His Oline was horrendous…it’s amazing they won any games. If he had been on LSU…

I don't watch college football so I really don't know much about this guy other than these videos. I do wonder if he's someone who would benefit from what Mahomes had as a rookie: sit behind a solid veteran, absorb the NFL world, then start in year 2. However, I don't imagine he'll be drafted by a team with that setup.

Maye reminds me a lot of Mitch Trubisky.

I don't know what the heck you're watching, but josh allen mixed with herbert. I don't see that at all. Hes more sam darmold then herbert or allen.

Whoever drafts him is getting potentially the best QB in the class. U bet on a guys tools and “don’t see that every day” type of plays and help him clean up the nuances of footwork

He’s a Minnesota viking

If you are a fan of a team that must and does select a QB early in this years draft, I'm sorry your team is going to be bad for the better part of the remainder of the decade. These QBs are not legitimate NFL starting QBs.

If top 2 picks are Williams and Daniels, NE will pick Maye. Maye needs some time before he is ready to start. NE should let him learn how Brissett manage offense for 8 - 10 games, then start.

He needs to learn under Kevin O’Connell

Maye’s hate is starting to become real, but McCarthy stock is going up. lol Make it make sense please. Yes Maye has his ups and downs, but his play reminds me a lot of Herbert. He’s only going to get better with time and put into a good situation.

love your channel. but he's got bust written all over him. the problem is he doesn't read defenses. a good example was that td at the 4min mark. you claim he saw the corner? he didn't watch enough maye tape and you'll realize he doesn't see the field. he sees the WR and the immediate guy covering them. he probably couldn't tell you what the coverage was or where the CB was going. all he saw was his guy with some separation on the post and threw it. I would like to add this whole QB class has bust written all over it. from the top to the bottom. a lot of not very good QBs. I know everyone is all over Caleb Williams but he looks just like Zach Wilson with some nail polish and an even more disruptive attitude to me. Penix, Nix, the list goes on and on. lots of mediocre junk at QB in this draft. someone might rise to the top, but this feels like a bad class to me. Something to keep in mind. These are kids. but they have enough football under their belt they should know how to read a defense by now. What you are attributing to drake "manipulating the defense" with that deep in was actually just him going through his progressions looking for an open guy. How do i know? because he never manipulates the defense. not to the extent you'd expect him to do it if he did it regularly enough. in the case of that play there is a little sideline comeback/ or comeback and go the WR will run, while the underneath guy will run to the sideline in an out. that's actually where the play will go 9 times out of 10 for the tarheals. it's action Maye loves to throw, in fact he gets into trouble because he often prefers to throw it to the WR on the sideline so much he often won't even notice the out route underneath open. in this case there was nothing there. so he moved off it. In fact the deep post was probably no.4 on his progression. Give him props for the big boy throw, but don't start claiming he read a defense or manipulated it, when he's never shown the ability to do either. you say he's up and down, no, he's up against simple or bad defenses, he's down against complex or good defenses. Remember the difference between John Elway and Trent Dilfer (both had strong arms), was Elway could complete the easy shit everyone is supposed to complete. Dilfer struggled the most with the easy shit NFL QBs could do. need a guy to throw a 30 yard skinny post against cover 2? both guys could do it. need a guy to throw a 5 yard swing pass? Elway would complete that 10 out of 10 times, dilfer usually would skip it to the RB or sail it into the stands 7 out of 10 times. Maye has dilfer's problem, he can't do the easy shit. sure he can do the amazing stuff from time to time, but the easy shit? not interested. That blitz beater is a perfect example of why Maye will fail at the next level. the hot read was the WR at the bottom of the field. he actually looked at the hot and chose not to throw it. 4 yards? too boring. Instead he threw the harder pass into coverage. yes it worked. but man, shit like that will kill him at the next level. the only guys in the league right now who can do that shit are Mahomes and Allen. and I think both of them make their lives harder by doing that shit. Maye isn't a mahomes or allen.

How on Earth is a guy not seeing a defensive player right in front of him an EASILY fixable problem? Lmao

Drake Maye’s college production and competition are not 1st Round worthy. He’s fool’s gold like QBs Mitch Trubisky and Blake Bortles. They were both picked in the top of the first round, and yet they both were actually second (even third) round talent. If Drake Maye goes to the Patriots (yikes!) he’ll be spread on that field (from sacks) like butter on burnt toast!

Now do a DJ tape on his first and sexond ywar starting not his 5th year tape

Haven’t we learned our lesson about Duke and UNC QBs by now…

7:30 Mac Jone would have floated that baby 50 feet in the air.

He reminds me off college Tua, there's a lot of potential, but he's just a bit nervous and looses his footing under pressure, but when he's locked in, he's as elite as some of the best QBs in history. Strong coaching and finding the right teammates for him will turn him into the elite QB he needs to be.

That int vs Clemson was the worst curl route I’ve ever seen

Such Grayson Allen (sp?) vibes, though. A classic square-jawed punch-me face. Or is that just me?

Maye reminds me of a pre-injury Carson Wentz.

tl;dr he's josh allen maybe

Think he needs Minnesota’s coaching - the Patriots lack of weapons and Washington’s Kliff Kingsbury offense could be a career death sentence

Nate Wiggins CB 1

Ngl he kinda reminds me of Justin Herbert

he not going to minnesota gang

Zach Wilson 2.0...

Yo

Drake is another Daniel jones

Ya video skipped 10 mins for no reason

Tell me this not Justin Herbert coming outta college💀he either gone be absolute ass or a superstar no in between

Can’t wait to see Maye in a patriots jersey throwing to Javon Baker

Um, yeah! That's what happens when a great talent plays with sub-par players. It actually makes him a massive steal for the team that gets him on cheap cheap. It doesn't take an expert to see he's above average compared to his peers, put weapons around him. Caleb Williams is the opposite they put the best WR Corps ever assembled around him in Chicago, and when he fails, it proves he was trash. He will fail, too😂.

When I look at Maye I see a much more inconsistent Philip Rivers.

He’s just like Mitch…whomever drafts him will probably be out of a job in 3 years…

I’ll take him over Jayden any day

People who are scared to draft drake maye should be fired, from what he CAN do far outweighs what he can’t. If you feel like you can’t coach him to his potential get lost. Yes Drake Maye will get someone fired, but because they didn’t draft him. QB1

He isn't the guy, so Washington will DEFINITELY take him

I pray the Patriots draft this feller

I think he is going to be the best qb in this draft class

He reminds me of Kellen Mond from Texas A&M

Whoever started the hype around this guy is a fraud.

As a prospect he sounds pretty much exactly like Zach Wilson

Pats fan.. i think hes trash,foot work ,accuracy throwing 25yrds...

He could turn into Josh Allen, so definitely worth a high pick. Edit: and later on in the video he agrees with me.

Drake has to go to Minnesota. Only way he’d be good. Not a totally shit situation there

He is gonna get drafted high regardless. Because he is white, 6'4 and strong arm and there will always be a team out there who will feel that they can correct his flaws.

So he’s overrated like Herbert

Totally overly analyzed.

It is exceedingly likely he’s a bust. Everyone now thinks players can just do what Josh Allen did. Well Drake isn’t nearly the physical freak athlete that Allen actually is AND what Allen has done is by far the exception and not the norm. Even at that, Allen STILL struggles with playing the hero ball and random crazy/bad decisions. Drake isn’t going to be another Josh Allen.
