"All sentiment aside for NFL elders, Maye absolutely should win it. He is the single most important player to a team's success in the league this season - especially relative to expectations - and it's not particularly close. His near-perfect performance (19 of 21 for 256 yards and 5 touchdowns before putting on the Comically Oversized Quarterback Jacket and checking out after the Patriots' first drive of the second half) during the Patriots' 42-10 demolishing of the Jets Sunday is one of many reasons."
"Yes, sure, it was just the Jets, a chronic debacle masquerading as a football team. They haven't made the playoffs since 2010, a season so long ago now that some of us remember first as the fleeting time Rob Gronkowski and Randy Moss overlapped as Patriots. They haven't had a star quarterback since Joe Namath's knees turned on him. They're broken again, with three wins in coach Aaron Glenn's first season."
Drake Maye delivered a near-perfect performance, completing 19 of 21 passes for 256 yards and five touchdowns in a 42-10 victory over the Jets. He has become the single most important player to a team's success this season, especially relative to expectations. Four touchdown passes came by halftime and a fifth to undrafted rookie Efton Chism came in the third quarter. The Jets remain a struggling franchise without a playoff appearance since 2010 and have just three wins under coach Aaron Glenn. Maye's only two incompletions were a result of a Kyle Williams drop and another incomplete pass.
