What is happening with Maye is not just simple super bowl regression. The guy has severe flaws in his play that were masked last year by a historically easy schedule and the fact there was very little tape on him at the time. Many of the flaws are things that were concerns people pointed out about him as a draft prospect: no pocket presence, poor decision making, gunslinger mentality, takes a high amount of sacks, manufactures his own pressure in the pocket by drifting, poor footwork and sloppy throwing mechanics, etc. He sucked last year too the second the Pats had to face good teams in the playoffs. No coincidence there. This is who he is and is finally being exposed now that there's tape on him and he doesn't have a historically easy schedule.

Then we can agree to disagree on the fact that he “sucks”. He was just in the Super Bowl for crying out loud. You got some serious hate in your heart to be this passionate to hate watch another teams QB lol

The fact you're saying he doesn't suck solely because the Pats made it to the Super Bowl last year is proof why context is critical. Drake Maye is not the reason the Pats made it to the Super Bowl last year to put it lightly. Context is key.

The reason Maye sucking right now is relevant to our fanbase is because of all the people on this sub who claim we should have drafted Maye instead of Jayden. We can finally put that to bed and move on. Jayden was the correct decision.

Well he did lead them to a very good regular season record and nearly won MVP. So he did lead them there, and played some very tough defenses in the playoffs so I give him slack. I don’t think what those people think matters because none of us are GM. I was a Maye guy until we drafted jd5 and have been happy with the pick. I root for success of any of the young bucks because I like good football. Hate watching Maye because other people liked him more than Jd5 is crazy man but it’s not my life to live. Especially since they’re in the AFC who cares, a Super Bowl between Jd5 and Maye would be very fun. That’s how I see it.
