"Patriots coach Mike Vrabel laid out his opinion on the matter while speaking to reporters on Monday. He praised Maye for his accuracy, ability to create explosive plays, and willingness to use his legs to extend plays. In terms of total touchdowns and yards and facing better competition, Stafford's got the edge. Maye has had the more accurate and efficient season and has arguably done more with less in terms of the talent surrounding him. The Patriots were 4-13 and had one of the worst offenses in the NFL last season. They're 14-3 now after a stunning one-year turnaround."
"'Just our team. 14-3, winning the AFC East in a year that a lot of people would have bet on us not to,' Maye said. 'I think this league is about winning and then from there the ability to spread the ball around and get teammates involved. That's what I enjoy to do and I think we did that this year. Looking forward to hosting a home playoff game.'"
Contenders for NFL MVP include Patriots quarterback Maye and Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, with public endorsements from Tom Brady and commentary from Jason McCourty. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel praised Maye for accuracy, explosive-play ability, and willingness to use his legs to extend plays. Stafford leads in total touchdowns, yards, and strength of competition, while Maye has been more accurate, efficient, and has done more with less surrounding talent. The Patriots rose from 4-13 and one of the league's worst offenses last season to 14-3 and an AFC East title. The Patriots are the AFC No. 2 seed and will host the Chargers; the Rams play the Panthers on the road. ESPN's FPI rated New England's schedule the easiest in the NFL while the Rams faced the ninth-toughest schedule.
