"There were a lot of concerns about his age and lack of experience from his days at UNC, which might have forced Jerod Mayo and Co. to hold off on giving him the starting role until Week 6 last season, but he continues to prove that was a mistake and he is the right guy for the job, which now has some analysts eating crow for their early Maye takes."
"Analyst admits he was dead wrong about Drake Maye after SNF win The timing of the retraction is all too coincidental, but at this point, Patriots fans should embrace the fact that analysts are finally realizing the kind of quarterback they have in Maye, and he immediately put the league on notice with his impressive performance against the Bills. That's what prompted Colon's apology, as he now believes in what Maye can do moving forward."
Drake Maye was drafted third overall in 2024 and faced skepticism about his age and experience. Jerod Mayo delayed naming him starter until Week 6 last season. Maye's performance against the Bills erased many doubts and forced some analysts to reverse earlier judgments. Former lineman Willie Colon publicly apologized for a nonchalant take about Maye's NFL potential. Analysts who overlooked Maye now recognize his immediate impact, citing a road win over Buffalo as evidence of his upside. The victory is a major boost for the Jerod Mayo era and validates Maye as a long-term franchise quarterback option.
