It’s been a topsy-turvy world for the celebrated Quarterback Class of 2024.
Such is the nature of life for a rookie QB.
Especially a highly-drafted one.

You come into the league with a lot to learn and a short time to learn it.
A number which was reflected in those measly 19 passing yards:
But things change quickly in training camp.
That’s the good news.

However, things started to get shaky when the offense moved into the red zone for more 11-on-11 work.
Maye took responsibility for the shaky hurry-up offense, but it was a team-wide failure.
So overall it’s far, far from anything Pats players and coaches signed up for.
It’s really not even about 2024.
The rest of the stuff has to be cleaned up, for sure.
But the only priority is Maye.
Perhaps more importantly, he took responsibility for the mistakes he was not responsible for.
Which the great ones do.
Now’s the time to prove to the world Drake Maye is going to be ready, and soon.
Especially to Drake Maye.
This was just the beginning of his ascent into Franchise QB status.
