One theme of Mike Vrabel’s interview with @TheGregHillShow was how knee-jerk reactions to bench/cut players often turn out to be over-aggressive (e.g. Rhamondre Stevenson, Drake Maye etc.).
In his 11:30a press conference, Vrabel struck a similar chord with kicker Andy Borregales (missed 40-yard FG, now 10-of-13 on FGs, 20-of-21 on PATs).
“That needs to get corrected and I have a lot of confidence in Andy,” he said. “I think when you see the timing, and when the approach is in rhythm, it looks really good. So we have to make our kicks. Everyone has a job here. …
“I thought he did a real nice job on the kickoff, the ball placement. Hopefully he’s making a lot of extra points …”

Marvin Harrison Jr was a bluechip player. Was taking Drake Maye, who wasn’t a finished product, better for the Patriots? Dallas Turner, Brock Bowers and Jared Verse were all taken on the teens. Aren’t they bluechip players now? · Quoting Simon Clancy: @OmarKelly The idea that you can’t name that blue chip player just blows my mind. You might disagree with me on Miami’s progress but pretending Smith isn’t an incredible receiver is……..bonkers.

- To sum up the current state of the Steelers, let’s start with the sacks. On one side, the Pats used pick pressures to manipulate the Steelers’ protection plan. On the other, Patrick Graham’s sim pressures and coverage disguises limited Drake Maye.

- And with Monday night done, our Week 4 NFL All-Stars are posted -- Drake Maye gets the nod at QB, and a tough call for two spots at running back, plus two monster receiving games. @NFLonFOX

- Oct 4 Matt Lombardo (Bluesky) The Patriots have had 4 drives of 60-plus yards and at least eight plays. All four ended in touchdowns. Just a huge turnaround for Drake Maye and statement by New England's offense.

- Oct 4 Mike Reiss (Bluesky) Bills 17, Patriots 14 (half): Competitive. Then gifted 3 points to Buffalo as work late in 2nd quarters has been below par.

- Oct 4 Sal Capaccio (X) Exactly what the Bills couldn't have. A 97-yard drive against them and now a confident Drake Maye. 6/7 for 77 yards on that drive. Obviously a lot of football left, but not a good start for either side of the ball.
- Oct 4 NFL News Poster (Bluesky) [NFL] Drake Maye throws the touchdown to Romeo Doubs!
- Oct 4 Field Yates (X) The Patriots just drove 97 yards on 12 plays for a touchdown. Drake Maye was excellent on it. Easily their best drive of the season. Much more like the player we saw last season.
- Oct 4 Matt Lombardo (Bluesky) Drake Maye, with a defender wrapped around his legs drills Romeo Doubs in the back of the end zone to give the Patriots a 7-0 lead. New England will certainly take THAT.

People (mostly Pats fans) desperately trying to compare this to Drake Maye's (3rd) INT lol. They are not the same play at all. That said, Allen got away w/one here but thats football for ya #BillsMafia · Quoting Sal Capaccio 🏈: On near-INT, I understand the thought process more after watching this. Looks like play was designed to go to Hawes down the seam, but HOU defended it well. Josh saw Bullock over top & that led him to Palmer 1/1. But pressure was there and threw off back foot causing errant throw

- We’re already off to a great start with everyone declaring Drake Maye trash because he played poorly on the road against arguably the best defense in the league and the Rams a fraud because they lost to a good team on a different continent after a ridiculous travel itinerary. I keep telling myself “don’t overreact” heading into tonight (I will probably fail at this) · Quoting NFL Philosophy: Annual reminder: Weird stuff happens in week 1 of the NFL.

After Further Review: Drake Maye breakdown, Patriots defense review, and quick-hit film notes from the loss to the Seahawks
1 more updatefrom 1 source
- Sep 10 Josina Anderson (X) #Patriots QB Drake Maye just turned 24 in August and was just in the Super Bowl in February. I respect the take, but in my opinion it’s early given what’s been accomplished in Maye’s professional career so far. He gets a 3-year buffer on that alone. I’ve heard a well-positioned league source complain about preseason game time/prep and the offense itself today. I didn’t hear them doubting Maye. Agree that decision-making in critical moments last night obviously can improve, but I don’t believe Maye’s missing the intelligence or discernment to correct that. Clearly that has to be demonstrated consistently though. · Quoting Mark Dondero: My takeaway of Drake Maye’s performance vs. Seattle.

Something to think about with Baker Mayfield. $55 million is the going rate for a QB ... right now. Wait until AFTER the 2026 season. Lamar is a wildcard and could agree to a massive new deal at anytime between now and this upcoming offseason. What are Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and Bo Nix going to get next offseason? Those deals could raise the rate for the entire QB market. A 55 million dollar price tag today, could be a $65 million dollar price tag next offseason.

- Sep 8 Albert Breer (X) I'd be surprised if it wasn't over $70M APY on the 2024 draft QBs. Josh Allen/Patrick Mahomes could be valued at 9-figure average on new-money APY basis. And Dak Prescott's deal, which had a $60M new-money APY, is now 2 years old—and will be 3 offseasons old in the spring. · Quoting James Palmer: Something to think about with Baker Mayfield. $55 million is the going rate for a QB ... right now.

- Sep 8 Adam Schefter (X) A plus for the Buccaneers getting Baker Mayfield’s deal done now is the looming reality of what should be a booming QB market next offseason, when Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and Bo Nix all become extension-eligible for the first time. · Quoting Adam Schefter: ESPN sources: two-time Pro-Bowl selection Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers reached agreement today on a three-year contract extension that will prevent the quarterback from becoming a free agent after this season, per me and @RapSheet. Mayfield had broken off talks as camp opened, but with the regular season kicking off this week, a deal has been revisited and now struck.
- Sep 8 Greg Auman (X) The actual QB free agents next spring aren't great -- Murray, Tua, Watson -- but after this season, Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix are all eligible for longterm extensions and will all make more than Mayfield's new deal, and on longer contracts.
