Was Drake Maye THAT good yesterday?

Are we really pooping our pants because of a solid stretch of games against the Panthers, Saints, and Titans in addition to the awful mess the Bills managed to put forth and only lose by 3? He looks composed… he’s hardly been tested, though. And as much as I want to punch myself in the face for having to say it, he probably has better coaching behind him at both HC and OC putting him in a position to succeed. 

People act like Maye didn't look damn good as a rookie last year on an absolute train wreck of a team. He has picked up exactly where he left off and is playing outstanding football. If Allen was completing 75% of his passes with a 116 QB rating after 7 games we would be arguing his MVP credentials non stop. Just because we're all Bills fans doesn't mean we can't give credit where it is due, as much as we may dislike it.

The kid is good.  It’s nuts to boil success down to a single player with the most team dependent sport there is.   
 

Bills’ fans, more than any other fanbase, should know this to be true.   
 

The concern I have is that he’s getting higher quality decision makers putting pieces in place to give him success that won’t be his success alone but will be the team’s success and yet will be bestowed upon him.    Feel like we have been here before.

He's obviously very talented it doesn't mean he's going to play at this pace the rest of the year 

 

How you stack Good seasons on top of Good seasons before your 27 is how you develop... You can go down up back down.. or you can go down up up up

Is it really all that hard for some of you to just give some credit to the QB? The dude is playing well. Its not that hard to admit.

I’m not taking anything away from him or his play. I thought he looked good last season, I think he looks good this season. My comment was directed more at those demonstrating maudlin overreaction to a bad game by the Bills against the Patriots, and an otherwise easy stretch of defenses recently faced by the Patriots. There are people wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth today in response to a Patriots win over the Titans in a manner befitting the loss of a family pet. It would be funny if it wasn’t so over the top LAMPish.

I still haven’t given Brady credit

He's a good QB. But Mac Jones & Tua also looked decent at first as well. DC's are going to get more and more tape on him.

Funny thing is today, the Receivers bailed Maye out on like a handful of throws by making ridiculous catches like Hoopers TD catch, and Pop Douglas ridiculous 4th down one handed catch.. and well Boutte did something so many receivers don’t do he stretched his arms out for the catch and TD.. I think (and only my opinion) he is making our WR better most of the time and now they are making plays they wouldn’t have last year .
