""I think when you're a quarterback in this league, and your team's winning and you're playing at a high level, that makes you the guy to talk about," McCourty said Thursday on WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show". "Whether it was Jayden Daniels last year as a rookie, C.J. Stroud when he was a rookie, Matthew Stafford right now, even at his older age - when you're quarterbacking a top-level team that's going out there executing, you should be spoken about in a high regard.""
""But I think it's crazy - if anybody would have said two years ago, 'We're going to get a quarterback in Drake Maye, and in his second year, he's going to be top five in MVP talks.' Like, I would have said, 'Hey, give me that right now, that's ridiculous.' I think that's what he's played his way into.""
"Entering Thursday's primetime matchup against the Jets, Maye is completing 71.7 percent of his throws for 2,555 yards, 19 touchdowns and just five interceptions. He has also rushed for 283 yards and an additional two touchdowns. Taylor has been a force in the trenches for the Colts so far this season, rushing for 1,139 yards and 15 touchdowns through 10 games for Indy, while the 37-year-old Stafford is putting together a renaissance season on the West Coas"
