The New England offense took a giant step ahead with Maye at quarterback as a substitute of Jacoby Brissett, as he wanted only one sport to throw extra passing touchdowns (three) than the veteran did within the first 5 weeks of the season.
Granted, Maye is sort of uncooked, and he’ll make some errors, however that’s to be anticipated.
The Patriots have been affected person with the No. 3 general choose within the 2024 NFL Draft, and a few have been nervous they may wreck his confidence by throwing him into the fireplace too early.
They don’t have a whole lot of expertise at extensive receiver, and a subpar offensive line, so Maye could be operating for his life most of the time.
Then once more, with the expertise and bodily instruments he has, it solely made sense that they provide him an opportunity to showcase his abilities and get the rising pains out of the way in which.
Possibly he’ll even get his first profession win in London, because the Jaguars haven’t fared a lot better than the Pats this season.
