"Watching him play - with much-improved footwork, accuracy over the middle, poise under pressure, effortless ability to zip strikes all over the field, and absolute fearlessness in taking shots deep - has been a pure joy. And some of his statistics are so impressive that you almost have to laugh while absorbing them. The most impressive, and perhaps telling regarding the quality of his play?"
"Since 2000, eight quarterbacks have started at least five regular-season games for the Patriots: Brady (283), Mac Jones (42), Maye (19), Drew Bledsoe (18), Matt Cassel (15), Cam Newton (15), Bailey Zappe (8), and Jacoby Brissett (7). That's it. Eight. Care to guess how many QBs have started five games in the same timeframe for the Browns? I'm setting the over/under at 23.5, Chauncey, and guess what? You should have taken the over."
Drake Maye has risen to elite quarterback status over four straight Patriots victories, showing improved footwork, middle accuracy, poise under pressure, and fearless deep passing. Maye completed 21 of 23 passes (91.3 percent) for 222 yards and two touchdowns in one game, setting a Patriots franchise record. That completion percentage broke a record previously held by Tom Brady. The Patriots have used only eight quarterbacks for at least five regular-season starts since 2000, while the Browns have used twenty-four, illustrating stark organizational contrast in quarterback continuity.
