"Hoyer has this exactly right. Maye is what you could call imperturbable, or close to it. No NFL or any other quarterback is going to just dust off an interception, strip sack, or a fumble without some reaction. If he does, he's in the wrong game. In Maye's case, though, it doesn't seem to rattle him much and get him off kilter, and that's the key to the rest of the game."
"He certainly knows what playing the position is all about. He's both experienced it himself and watched others, including the best ever to play the game, Tom Brady, for almost two decades. One attribute he appreciates and sees in Drake Maye is his ability to handle adversity. "It's just amazing to me how he weathers the storm and just has that internal confidence ... That's when the folklore of a player starts to grow.""
The New England Patriots must keep winning to secure the AFC East and the top seed in the AFC; winning the remaining games achieves both goals. MVP candidate Drake Maye, in his second season, has been key to that push. Former Patriots quarterback Bryan Hoyer praises Maye's ability to "weather the storm" and handle adversity. Maye displays near-imperturbability after interceptions, strip sacks, or fumbles and does not appear rattled. Mistakes occur to any quarterback; Maye's calm reaction and quick recovery separate winners from also-rans. Maye consistently picks himself up and returns to work, and that individual trait can materially help team success.
