Watching Redzone, Has a hell of a deep ball.

But one of the announcers said "There's not a Quarterback in the league that throws a better deep ball"

Geno and RW have provided us with the sweet, sweet nectar of hating on the starting QB, and Sam won't deny us this by playing well and seeming like a generally good guy.

I admit I didn't watch many Patriots games this year, but after watching the playoffs and the Super Bowl game, I can't believe that Drake Maye came so close to winning MVP. When you compare how Stafford did against the Seahawks vs. Maye, it should not have been that close between them.

Correct it was more of that east coast bias, that amusingly you hear them admit to at times now because they’ll be all “well we see the games out here more frequently bs those on the west coast” .. i mean they could make an attempt but then don’t

I didn't watch many pats games either but looking at his stats he really fell off in the play-offs.

Passer Rating
Regular season: 113.5 (cf Goff 105.5)
Wild Card: 86.6
Divisional Round: 100.7
AFCCG: 58.8
Super Bowl: 79.1

Difficult to tell how much of the fall off was due to weather and qualitiy of opposing defences but I would be surprised if the media go on and on about how he bottles it in big games anything close to the amount they did with Sam.

I think there have been dozens if not hundreds of stupidly awarded plaques and trophies in professional sports through the years.

I don't know, I think the media has already formed that narrative about Drake Maye. Before this year, Sam had only played in one playoff game and they said he couldn't win the big ones. Drake Maye had three playoff games plus the Super Bowl and didn't play well in any of them.

I'm hearing people say Drake Maye--plays great against bad teams, can't play against good defenses. He's going to have that monkey on his back until he plays well.

He should hang out with Sam
