Growth, rather, would be measured by how consistently he could pare down his mistakes...he, by his own admission, got impatient and failed his first test against another top-tier defense.

Maye fails maturity test against elite defense, throws game-ending pick in Seattle loss

After a strong second season in Josh McDaniels' offense, Maye's third-year growth was expected to be measured by consistency and mistake reduction, particularly against high-end defenses following a shaky postseason. Against Seattle's top-tier defense in Week 1, he failed that test by getting impatient and making poor decisions; while he kept the Patriots in the game with scrambling and a timely 19-yard throw to Mack Hollins on second-and-21, he ultimately threw a game-ending interception to Josh Jobe, losing 13-10 on the road.
