""I think Drake is playing some good football," Warner said on "The Rich Eisen Show." "But right now, a little of it is a little more backyard football than solid, consistent quarterback play.""
""We're seeing some big-time plays and some good quarterback play. But right now, I'm seeing too much look at one guy and go create.""
""That's a tough world to live in," Warner said of those plays. "To be a great quarterback in this league, you've got to be able to consistently live in the pocket when the situation dictates that, and then go create and be that special playmaker beyond that.""
Drake Maye has produced several big-time, improvisational plays that demonstrate playmaking ability, including a 32-yard sideline completion to Stefon Diggs and a late 12-yard scramble-and-completion to Diggs. Those plays showcase creativity and athleticism but lean toward improvised, backyard-style football rather than steady, pocket-based execution. Sustainable long-term success at quarterback requires consistent ability to live in the pocket when situations demand it and then create when appropriate. Reliance on frequent improvisation can be risky, especially against stronger opponents or when the margin for error is smaller.
