re: Drake Maye Struggling in Pats Training Camp

The Patriots may not cut him before his first preseason game after all.

FOXBORO -- Drake Maye shrugged his shoulders and smiled after what was easily his best fully-padded practice as a professional.

He'd just gone 11-for-13 in competitive team periods -- including a red-hot stretch of 7-on-7 passing in a red-zone period -- but still looked forward to doing that which was one of his greatest strengths as a collegian: launching it deep.

"Trying to be smart with it," Maye said. "I feel like I throw the football well down the field. Still feel like I haven't really aired it out yet, but I think it's coming."

Maye was more of a point guard than three-point sharpshooter on Day 8 of Patriots training camp. He completed four of five passes in a 7-on-7 period with the offense situated inside the defense's 10-yard line, including accurate strikes into tight spaces for Javon Baker, Kayshon Boutte and La'Michael Pettway.

He later threw in the direction of a blitz, attacking the vacated area, for an easy completion to Ja'Lynn Polk. On the next snap, a play-action call, he quieted his feet inside a clean pocket and drilled one to Jalen Reagor over the middle of the field.

let's be real, man had 'bust' written all over him. just another Trubisky

Belichick basically shite all over him in draft evaluation on McAfee, without overtly coming out and saying it.

He loved JJ McCarthy though... Who will end up being a high level starter in the league for years.

I think Darnold could have been a serviceable starter with the right coach.

I'm interest to see what he does this season, he's got a shite schedule to deal with. Weeks two thru six are against 49ers, Texans, Packers, Jets, & Lions. The opener is on the road at NYG.

Belichick has drafted like shite for a decade especially on offense.

Repeated draft misses at WR is the real issue there and was a huge, unspoken part of Mac Jones not working out.

But I thought they were a dime a dozen…

If the Saints hired Matt Patricia for anything more than running a concession stand in the Dome, I would quit watching the team…
