Drake Maye is a ball of clay; is Alex Van Pelt an artist? 

The Feglers of the World are ALREADY manufacturing their contrived topic for late August, when Brissett is announced as starter Week 1: "Is Drake Maye falling behind where he should be in his development?" Watch for this.

Someone should show Curren the clip of JJ McCarthy completely missing a pass to a coach at Minnesota's mini camp.

I wish phil would start his own solo podcast. TC holding him back

Phil has great points as usual. Tom is stuck defending his hot take that Maye was a mistake and can't help himself and take a few shots

Whose here for the Curran negativity

This is a good discussion. Ideally, I would like to see Brissett start most of the season. But almost every great QB in the league, came in with things they had to work on. Allen was inaccurate, Mahomes had footwork and mechanical issues, Lamar Jackson, they had a ton of question marks. So I’m not that concerned about Maye. He’s got the talent, excellent arm, he’s got the athleticism you need in a modern day QB, he’s smart (was an academic all American at NC), he’s tough, faced adversity last year. He’s got everything you want in a franchise QB. I think if you look at draft guides, 50% had him as the 2nd best QB in the draft. The guy is a tremendous talent. Can he wind up a bust ? Sure, but you HAVE to take that chance in the draft when it was your biggest need.

I saw this title & immediately knew it was gonna be yapping time for Curran

Damn Phil is so smart. I like listening to him with all the info he has. Tom also is very informative. Love watching these 2 guys

why can't we watch the podcast in Australia anymore?

Well said

Great show! 👍👍

Tom, the patriots picked May. Look forward, not backward. Let's focus to develop this kid so he can be successfull. If he is not great at least it won't be because of lack of trying or effort. The gap between college and nfl is huge. Game is fasted and with bigger guys. Sit the kid so he can see how hard it is and let him learn

When he asked Drake if he understood why people were saying he had bad footwork. What was the point of asking him that? All that matters is that Drake is working on new footwork that AVP wants him to have. To me it felt like Tom just wanted to stir the pot and put doubt in his head. I have lost a ton of respect for him. People point out the Mayo said Drake has a lot to work on as an indictment that he sucks. He is working on completely new footwork, basically the foundation of a QB. It's a lot, trying to learn new plays, new verbiage, snaps under center and footwork that goes with that, new footwork out of shotgun. Aside from moving to a new large city he has tons of football things to study and learn. It's a lot of stuff.

I think its wait to see some game action for Drake some guys are just naturally adaptive to higher level of competition like his chances

Speaking candidly, I am completely and utterly: flabbergasted, bamboozled, discombobulated, confuzzled, colored in disarray and have all the salt taken out of my saltine when I audibly discern folks, reiterate the sports media’s spoon fed propaganda that echos the bars, offices, and handicap bathroom stalls, that Drake Maye is a giant. I mean, Considering Tom Brady is 6’4” and 225 lbs, and that Maye is 6’4” and 230 pounds, wouldn’t that make Tom a giant too?!?!?!

I need to score some tics in Foxborough. :) Live in Florida. GO PATS.

I think Polk has a chance to really excel in the role Amari Cooper had with Cleveland once/if he settles in to NFL play

I'm so on team Curran on the drake maye experience. Talented and needs a lot of development

Patriots at Wembley great for me !!!!!! Uk fans will fill the stadium I’ll be there

Drake Maye is 100% upgrade on Mac Jones. Maye is going to be fine. Josh Allen in his current form is great.

Okay… we get it Tom… you don’t like the Maye pick. You know nothing about Drake’s ability to take coaching and develop, nobody knows where he’s going to be at in August. The bar to be better than Jacoby is pretty low, Drake starting week 1 isn’t as impossible as you think it is

Idc if Polk was a burner or not , as long as that man can get open at the line of scrimmage and down the field

JJ McCarthy and Luke MacCaffrey were Tom E. Curran’s dream combo. Bookmark this comment. At least he admits it.

I just pray nobody on the staff feels down on Drake Maye and tells Tom. HE WILL HAVE A FIELD DAY if he here’s one ounce of doubt 🤞🏽

Yah but Felger is a pinhead. Don't sell Milton short. Teach Maye to throw to the left side of the field. I had Polk and Thomas right below the top 3 WRs.

36:09 This moment right here is why Tom Curran shouldn't be making anymore "old" jokes about Robert Kraft. 😉

"The Metaphors and Analogies of Tom Curran" - not getting the Pulitzer Prize (or the National Book Award)!

👍🏾

Drake Maye should sit and learn for at least the first 3/4s of the season. I don't care what the Patriots record is. I just hope that Brissett doesn't get hurt in the early part of this season. I don't want to see Brissett get hurt, but it may be wise to consider bringing in another veteran if he does. Putting Maye or Milton in may not be the best for either rookie if Brissett is on the IR before week 10.

Never try to change a QB s throwing motion. Bad . You let. Him play free. He is not a robot. Does anyone see mahomes mechanic I sick of media people putting a timetable on any QB. He has to learn the Offense. Tom Curran is full of it. . You learn by playing. Phil . But JJ he is a star

I’m calling it Drake maye will start week 9 after the bye week Alex van pelt has that long to get him ready…

I'm just so sick of the media and the negative narrow driven stuff it's really becoming unbearable and unwatchable and I'm just so sick of it

If Curran’s gonna keep dragging Drake, he should be prepared to be as well ‘liked’ as Felger.

I hope they just put Jacobi in and not screw this up again

Stronger arm, Tom Brady or Drake Maye?

Tom is nothing but a drake may le hater

Tom hates Drake Maye 😂

omg that accent of the krafts.. haha

A project at 3 not Good

The only reason Maye should sit for any significant period of time is if the O-Line looks like trash or if you believe the team has to tank for a top-5 pick again next year and Brissett is just holding it down on a crappy team. I don’t believe either of those scenarios are likely.

Curran loves an echo chamber. “Oh Phil, please caveat off my opinion and agree with everything I say.”

Tom is losing it. He searches for words like he’s reading a thesaurus. How does Senator Perry put up with it?

Both radio Sports broadcast shows that are so negative is it the region we live in Felger ,Jones I can’t listen anymore

My god he looks slooooow

31:00 this is why ur a reporter… no fucking way jj macarthy and Luke mcaffery would’ve been a good combo in any facet that would’ve been dog shit for years till they both exit the league because of each other

Sam Darnold 2.0

Tom a hater while JJ about to get murdered in Minnesota

Tom the hater strikes again….

cursing thumbs down

Hey Tom Drake is our QB now we get you wanted them to trade down we get you wanted McCarthy… Drake maye is the QB you cover now. So maybe instead of trying to play this devil advocate role like your felgar and mass with bs hot takes cus you just want to get clicks and views when you literally keep knit picking at little things said in interviews or a basic rookie mini camp and spew negativity to a fan base who needs positivity right now. Or you can go back to being the respectable journalist I enjoyed listening to for the last 5 years and cover the facts cover the team and give us some sense of optimism like Phil does. You can keep going this way and lose viewers or accept the QB we have now and cover the team trying to figure things out with optimism like Kyle’s like Perry like Garf and Lazar who’ve had much better programs than you since the draft process started it’s much more enjoyable to have positive media than negative especially when games aren’t even being played. If I wanted crappy takes I’d just watch espn who talk about our team with 0 idea of what we’re even doing or any plans for the team. When you guys actually cover the team. Stop bringing up what’s not here or what you wanted talk about what we have and what we can look forward to if things go as planned from our coaching staff. If they don’t we can discuss it during the season.

Phil, you done drooling over van pelt yet? Seriously. That's an embarrassing take. The browns offense last year was average AT BEST. they also led the league un turnovers. I don’t want the patriots to become Cleveland. Lol. I think Cleveland blows. I want the patriots to do with Detroit did
