Pats Pulpit
Drake Maye has the New England Patriots and their fans feeling good. Coming off a 23-20 upset win over the previously unbeaten Buffalo Bills, the team and its second-year quarterback are trending in the right direction.
Where their journey goes remains to be seen, but in Maye’s case he seems to have arrived among the better QBs in football. In fact, the latest results of our SB Nation Reacts survey show that 74% of Patriots fans already view him as a top-10 player at his position.
Interestingly enough, the comment section was a bit more cautious slapping that label onto him just yet.
WelshPatriot. No he isn’t a top ten QB. It’s too sensationalist to say that at this time. Top 16 to 20 yes. He played very well in the Buffalo game but he did miss opportunities. Maybe next season or perhaps sooner if he can stay consistent.
CooBear I think so. But again, who are the qbs that would be ahead of him, like actually ahead of him. Not guys who have better records but aren’t as good at the position.
Dan Lattrell No. To be top ten you have to play well over a period of time against different opponents. Maye was definitely not top ten last season. If he can continue to string together good games then he may eventually become a top QB in the NFL.
GhostofDynastiesPast Currently Maye is ‘top 10’ but we’ll need to see where he’s at by the end of the season.
TDDsDad According to the numbers he is, so I answered yes (because there wasn’t a “no, but get back to me after Thanksgiving” choice).
I think the potential is there. If he continues on this trajectory then yes, by year’s end he will be a top 10 QB.ShaynaandDanny I’m a big Maye fan, but Not yet. I need to see a few more games of steady progress like he has shown, then I’ll swap that out to a yes.
sanfranpatsfan top 10 in some stats right now but there are some QBs currently better than him that aren’t ahead of him because of injury eg Burrow
prob 10-15 though and ascendingSweaty-Man-Boobs He is most definitely an ascending QB. If he can prove that he can play at this level on a consistent basis, then he is a top 10 QB. I like the direction that he is heading in and I feel better and better each week that the Patriots drafted him.
luckyfukikentucky I would say bottom of the top ten. He’s getting better, so long as he continues to protect the ball, the O-line stays healthy he will progressively get better at reading defenses and making better decisions. After all he’s able to make the throws already has the arm strength and placement which should get even better. But if you asked pretty much anybody when we...
