And all of the above resulted in ZERO TDs. I only needed one.

All three of Drake Maye's TDs in Week 6 came on throws of 20+ air yards while Maye was facing pressure, per @NextGenStats

He'd be even better without Vrabel

I'm wrong a lot but I think he's going to be the next great one.

if the run game doesn't improve we might get a chance to find out.

Absolute stud! Drafted him in RD9. Drafted Purdy in RD7 but Maye is the one I wanted all along. It's a must to have 2 very good QB's.
Despite his 27+ PPR points yesterday he was overshadowed by Mahomes last night. Looks like I'm likely to get my first loss of the season despite having Rico's 33.9 points. Puka's 4.8 yesterday and injury uncertainty making life tough over the next few weeks. Keeping hopes up as Rice is in the lineup week 7!

I heard Maye would have had a lot more production with 2 downfield throws if Diggs wasn't called on a couple penalties.
Total joke calls.

We've been screaming this from the mountain tops in Chapel Hill since 2022.
Just wait until NE figures out a way to get Josh Downs out of Indy.
...or AJ Brown prior to the trade deadline.
This guy with a legit #1 alpha would be scary.
Pretty much no chance Indy trades Downs. I'm sure the Ravens would part with Tez Walker though. A couple guys I think could be available if they do make a WR move:
1. Jakobi Meyers, Raiders are going nowhere fast, they already drafted his replacement, and he's got a lot of experience with Josh McDaniels.
2. DJ Moore, this would probably be the biggest fish (I don't see AJ Brown as realistic without a Godfather type deal) available. In many ways Moore and Diggs overlap.
3. Chris Olave/Rashid Shaheed, NO is a very possible seller, both guys need new deals, and both guys have injury histories. Olave is likely much more expensive but could be worth it. I've always thought Olave is a true #1, just had injury/offense issues. In the case of NO, I wonder if NE would throw a WR back at them. Like maybe Kyle Williams if it wasn't a high draft pick compensation? Or maybe Efton Chism who looked interesting in preseason with a higher pick?

Is it crazy for me to consider moving Jayden Daniels for Maye and maybe trying to upgrade elsewhere? How far apart are these two year 2 guys?

Daniels' upside is 1.5 superbowls. Maye's upside is pure energy.

My leagues don't provide points for Super Bowls or energy levels unfortunately.

To answer your question less flippantly, NE needs to improve its WR and RB rooms and is currently not running the ball well. Conversely, Daniels has a (relatively) better situation, so Maye has an upside advance exclusive from QB vs QB. There is a vocal subset of talking heads who are spinning Maye as the best QB in the 24 draft class, but I write this off as flavor of the month fanboy drivel and don't presume one is better than the other either way.

a lot of VERY favorable maye press lately.@PFF

as a pats fan, I say (a) small sample size...lets get some more data, and (b) don't jynx it, dammit!

Hate when the press latches on to a guy before he's done much just because he had a good month. Exactly. Don't jinx it. He's playing great. Let's see how it looks when it gets down to the teens in NE and every yard is excruciating. I think Maye will be good, possibly great but let him get there before crowning him.

I hear ya but there is a belief that he has the IT, and I can’t disagree at this point. He’s succeeding in a situation most young QBs fail.
The hype train still has a LITTLE room left before it’s just completely outta control.
Get your dynasty shares if you still can.
Already whispers “Is this the new Josh Allen” and it took Allen 4+ years to become THAT guy.

I remember the (very brief!) period of time when Josh Allen's accuracy, touch and decision-making were horrendous. By his 3rd season he had become that guy...although it took a little longer to win the mvp. Kudos to the Bills organization for stucking with him despite early struggles.

Oh yeah I meant like “That guy” to own as a can’t not start QB w top 5 potential every year.
But you’re right JA hit it big in year 3 (coinciding w Diggs showing up in his prime)
He had 4-5 ooh nice throws. Several runs. Idk that I like how he finished some but I'm well versed on gotta be careful how ya mess with a QBs head and running- he's gotta be him.
A lot of his day looked easy. Shameful easy zone defense, bad pass off from CB to S, injuries piling up...it looked like the variety whooped a JV squad in practice.
Hey it's an NFL game and he did it so kudos to him. Lots of praise this year too.
I just...my goodness our defense looked terrible
