Josh McDaniels defends Drake Maye: 'He's the right guy' for Patriots
"It's got to be a long-term vision of where this guy is gonna be. He's gonna be a really good player."
"No. We haven't given him any more than what we've given him all year, which is not too much,"
Drake Maye entered 2025 as the expected franchise savior but struggled in Week 1. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half, then threw a second-half interception that led to a Raiders touchdown. New England's offense failed to regain momentum, punting on the next four drives and losing the chance for a comeback.

The coaching staff defended Maye, denied restricting the playbook, and called the lapses normal learning curves for a young quarterback.
