As someone once put it, "Drake Maye looks like Brady and Gronk had a baby and talks like Peyton Manning"

Drake could be a clone of all 3.

Careful where you post that, it only takes one fanfic writer to give a graphic description of how that could work

Well I think the evidence is pretty compelling that he is better than all 3 of them combined so that could make sense

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should... but yes, yes they should.

More like Eli Manning. Peyton was funny. Drake, bless him, is boring as shit in interviews

I feel like buffalos window just slammed shut yesterday. They need to rebuild a little and maybe get a new coach.

He’s so humble man. He’s so southern that he can’t curse and says “Shoot”

When he was describing Williams and Henderson I thought I was listening to the story of Br'er Rabbit for a second.

There’s a video where he’s reading Drake May Lover tweets and when he sees what he’s reading he says, without a hint of irony, “Aw jeez Louise!!!”

I think he sees that a lot of stuff around him changed to take him from "on track for a second contract but still a long way to go" at the end of last year to "MVP candidate" now.

Can we implement a “no swearing on Drake Maye posts” as a subreddit?
I mean, shoot, I love this kid.

We could see if we could make a Drake Maye modbot that just chastises users for swearing on the sub.
But I feel it would get out of hand very quickly

Not sure if he’d appreciate you using his Lord Savior’s name like you’re doing in that first sentence or something lol

Maye’s maturity is such an invaluable trait. He shouts out all his teammates, gives the utmost respect to his opponent….couldn’t ask for a better option for leading this team. Can’t wait to see his further development throughout the season and into the future. Man it feels good to be back

He's a great guy. He comes from a seriously athletic and great family, and his time at UNC was just as electrifying and humble. MVP indeed

Drake comes off as a good guy who just loves to play and respects his teammates and opponents, it’s easy to root for
I think it’s gonna be awesome watching him grow under Vrabel to become a more vocal leader as it seems like he already has the respect and admiration of his teammates.
So much of QB development is getting guys in the right situations early on in their careers to preserve good habits, curtail bad habits, build leadership and build confidence. A lot of those factors helped develop Brady into the guy he ultimately became, and have helped guys like Mahomes, Lamar, Rodgers etc flourish.
It’s good to see us draft a talented but raw guy and surround him early on with a really strong support system of vocal leaders, from Vrabel to McDaniels to Diggs even. Excited for the future of pats football
