From the episode

it is clearly more of a mental thing than any like physical... Drake may isn't thinking about regression. Drake may thinking about I'm playing worse than I was. And he's starting to lose the threat a little bit. You're starting to spiral.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Drake Maye's confidence spiral has worsened his regression beyond expectations.

Drake Maye's performance has declined significantly from last season's elite tight-window and downfield success rates, which were expected to regress but have fallen further than anticipated. Mina Kimes attributes this partly to psychological factors—Maye is losing confidence and spiraling after playing worse than his rookie season, similar to Justin Herbert's struggles with the Chargers. The mental component appears more significant than the shoulder injury narrative circulating.
