I’m going to say this about Drake Maye and leave it at that:
There are flash-in-the-pan QBs who catch lightning in the right offensive system at the right time and have 1-2 big years, and then disappear when the league figures it out.
Maye had an incredible season, but before the second matchup with the Bills, I called out the fact that he completely fell apart when teams went to cover 6.
Then McDermott, that same week, went to a bunch of nasty cover 6 and Maye crumbled. And then every other coach did the same thing and he never showed he was the same guy.
The first 4 games are going to be very telling about which type of player he’s going to be.
You think this about Maye, but not Caleb Williams? Not sure how…
