As we saw on Wednesday night with Drake Maye, defenses this season will require opposing quarterbacks to be patient and take the underneath throw. It takes discipline and commitment to sustain that plan for 60 minutes. Neither Stafford nor Maye showed they were able to do that through one game.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Maye struggled with patience on short throws, mirroring Stafford's over-aggression problem.

Drake Maye, like Stafford, failed to show discipline and commitment to taking underneath throws against defenses that require patience in 2026. Maye's performance on Wednesday night (presumably in a Patriots game) demonstrated the same over-aggression issue that plagued Stafford, suggesting this is a league-wide challenge for quarterbacks adjusting to defensive schemes.
