Gang Green Nation on Drake Maye
From the article
Drake Maye's biggest issue early this season was poor ball security due to inexcusable decision-making...he had to look himself in the mirror and stop putting his team in bad positions, and that's exactly what's happened since the Patriots' Week 5 turnaround in Buffalo.
STACKED’s take
Maye's early turnovers and A.J. Brown absence shook him, but recent form suggests he's righted the ship.
After an MVP-caliber 2025 season, Maye struggled early in 2026 with poor ball security and decision-making—throwing three interceptions on unnecessary shots in Week 1, drifting into a sack in Week 2, and committing multiple turnover-worthy plays in Week 3, compounded by A.J. Brown's injured reserve status shaking his confidence. However, since the Week 5 turnaround in Buffalo, Maye has protected the football, shown better risk-reward judgment, and is throwing with tremendous accuracy while being the league's best scrambler. Pats Pulpit believes his first standout performance since last regular season provided the confidence boost needed to exit his funk and return to his instinctive quarterback form, with no doubts he's the long-term guy for New England despite still needing to prove consistency against top defenses.
