"The New England Patriots and Drake Maye's season came to a halt with a thud as they were trounced by the Seattle Seahawks 29-13 in a Super Bowl game that wasn't nearly that close. It ended a Cinderella-like season in which the team Mike Vrabel logged an overall 17-5 record. Those efforts prompted NFL.com to rank Maye fourth in their quarterback rankings."
"In light of some of the hyperbolic criticisms of Maye lately, this ranking may seem accurate. Yet it belies several key points in Maye's favor that were clearly glossed over in this ranking. Maye was ranked fourth on his 21-game season, while the others were ranked based on the games they played. All of the quarterbacks ahead of him played fewer games. That, in itself, makes the rankings suspect."
The New England Patriots and Drake Maye ended their season with a 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that was not close. Mike Vrabel's team compiled a Cinderella-like overall 17-5 record. NFL.com placed Maye fourth among quarterbacks after counting his 21-game season, behind Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen, and Dak Prescott. Maye played more games than the quarterbacks ranked ahead of him, and the inclusion of his full season while others played fewer games affected the comparison. Statistics alone were not treated as the sole ranking criterion, and other mitigating factors were cited as important. Maye sustained a shoulder injury during the season.
