Debate Over: Drake Maye can’t hold Josh Allen’s jockstrap

Did he? He missed so many passes if they didn’t have huge runs they didn’t really move the ball 

 

his best play shouldn’t have been a catch

He was bad…I think there’s a bit of goalpost moving going on in here haha. Some nice scrambles early when the bills made 0 attempt to limit them that any moderately athletic qb would’ve made in that scenario 

 

when the game got tight he looked pretty erratic and indecisive.  
 

throws a great deep ball but I’m not overly impressed with his game tbh.  I think mcdaniels has been coaching his a** off but hit a wall at the worst time and didn’t really have a counterpunch 

 

Henderson was phenomenal though

So many Maye fans on this board. Try to find one Allen fan on a Pats board. 
 

Stockholm syndrome still exists after 5 straight division titles. 
 

I figured everybody here would be nauseous after the unearned accolades we’ve been hearing. Guess I was wrong. 
 

One nice Maye play > five nice Allen plays.

Some of you were talking real reckless this week, concerning Allen and Maye.
 

The real, true king of the North showed himself today.

 

The real, true MVP led 5 straight Touchdowns.

 

The real, true best QB spotted Drake Maye 21 points and STILL WON.

 

Go Bills!

1 game? Neither had great stats and Maye ran for 2 TDs.. and the Pats D couldn’t stop them the entire second half and they dominated time of possession then.. but Maye is in his second year and still learning.. he will only get better let’s see how it looks when we hopefully face eachother for the right to go to the SB

Maye got a good career ahead of him, anyone thinking he better or on the same level as Allen needs to get their head examined. There is one Josh Allen and any comparison is laughable until they have multiple back to back 40+ yard tds

[nedboy7]

You cant compare Maye to the best QB in the league.  However that doesnt take away from how much Maye has improved and the Pats will be a hard opponent from here on out.

I live in Patriots country... most of them actually admire Josh.  He's very likeable.  When I moved here I thought I was going into enemy territory... it turned out to be more like they treated the Bills like baby brother (after they'd won multiple championships).  Once the Bills started winning I tried to talk smack, but they were more 'aw shucks, you've got a great QB now, good luck'.

 

I think there's a couple in the next crop of good QB's that might actually be likeable too... Drake Maye and Bo Nix included.  It's okay to admit when someone else is talented... if they're a good person too it's even better.  Time will tell.

It’s nice for me to hear that side of the story. Maybe the issues are just relegated to a bunch of their posters on their forum.

Drake Maye’s QB comparison would be Justin Herbert IMO, not Josh Allen.

I didnt read a lot about people saying he’s better.

Agree, pretty much a fabrication.

Maye is a solid young QB.  But like others stated, he did crap in the 2nd half when it mattered.

 

Can he continue his success into next year and forward, or become another another Mac Jones (or slightly better)?

 

Point is, he isnt anywhere close to a top tier QB.  He has a great OC and system, and he is good, but hes not proven to be a game changer/clutch QB.  That takes time and he mifht prove it, but not a sure thing.

 

Until proven otherwise, Maye is no where near Allen.

I saw it all over the place lol. Saw quite a few qb rankings with maye ahead/referred to as best qb in the division.  Granted some of that could be clickbait or just talking about this specific season(which I still don’t agree with)

Lmao I never said he was he is still only 23 and learning.. at the same time Allen wasn’t looking this good in year 2.. had flashes but wasn’t a game changer yet either.. that takes time..

Josh covers up for a lot  of ills especially with this coaching staff. Let’s face it, no Josh we’d be in big trouble.

 

He'll never be at Josh's level. And that's not meant as a slight against Maye. There's no basis for comparison right now and I don't foresee that changing.

 

It's not that much different than saying that Bo Nix is close to Josh Allen.

As Maye runs for 2 TD's and 10.6 yd/carry against us

 

Your statement is absurd and pointless.

 

Against a very maligned and disrepected defense, Maye did virtually nothing when his team needed him the most.

This was the biggest game of Drake’s career and like the 12th biggest for Josh.

 

its not a surprise who was more ready for the moment at the end to me. Drake is still quite good and should get better

 

The fact of Maye actually being in the MVP discussion is insulting to any knowledgeable NFL fan.

 

I think he's better than a system QB or game manager but wow... a guy who's never had a 4th quarter comeback?????

Maye is good. Top 5.  Could win an MVP eventually.  I’d be happy if he was our QB.   But Josh is another level.  I wouldn’t trade him for any QB in the last 20 years.  I mean that.  We will never see this again in our lifetime.  Don’t miss a snap.  Enjoy it. 

 

There is absolutely no way in hell Maye is Top 5.

 

Can we let him finish his 2nd season first?

 

Wow.

 

The poster who mentioned Stockholm Syndrome is right.

"He will only get better" - your quote on Maye.

 

How is this known?  Your opinion, fair.

 

I think Maye is a solid tier 2 type - like a Dak, Kirk Cousins, CJ Stroud, etc.  IMO, he is super close to his ceiling.

Lmao calm down jr, it’s a msg board with people posting opinions. 
 

The reality of the situation is that Mayes game improved with Vrabel and McDaniels.  He’s shown growth & potential. Give him some credit.  Where he’ll end up it is hard to tell, but I’ll guarantee you this division is not longer a give-me!

His ability to get out of sacks when he is dead to rights is very Josh-like.  And damn frustrating,

Ok let’s be realistic he didn’t have a terrible game! Second he is in his 2nd season and his first full season.. he has never played this many games before in 1 year..  Also the game plan wasn’t for him to air it out  it was to run the ball which they did fine at.. scoring 31 points wins 9 out of 10 games the issue wasn’t the Pats O it was the second half D unable to get off the field.. if we are honest both D look scary bad today.. the Bills D was gashed by the run and the Pats D couldn’t stop it either in the second half or the throws to the TE (which oi stated was a weakness)

Allen's clearly the better quarterback but make no mistake - Maye is going to be an issue for us moving forward.  This guy is better than Tua or whoever the Jets put up next year.

IMO I think Maye is going to be on a Marcus Stroud/ Trevor Lawrence level. I don’t think he’ll ever be good enough to take over games consistently, but you give him a good supporting cast and he’s going to flourish. The only thing that separates him from those guys is his big frame and athleticism. Vrabel would be smart to use him more as a dual threat
