Eliot Wolf and Company Will Develop Drake Maye Correctly

By: Steve Atkinson

It’s important to focus on developing Drake Maye properly after drafting him third overall. Eliot Wolf and the team will learn from Belichick’s mistakes in handling Mac Jones. They are looking to have experienced offensive coaches and a veteran quarterback leading the team at the start of the season. Jacoby Brissett is expected to be the starter, with the hope of signing another veteran to back him up. Maye may not see much play time until later in the season or next year.

The team wants to avoid the mistakes of the past and build a strong foundation for the future. They aim to create a winning and dependable football team with a good mix of young and experienced players. According to Mayo, the goal is to focus on the process and progress rather than just aiming to win a Super Bowl.

“Yeah, a successful season, in my eyes, is really about the foundation. Have we put together a good foundation of a combination of young and older players to start competing? And honestly, it would be great to get up here and say, ‘Look, we’re going to win a Super Bowl,’ but once again, it’s about the process. And I tell the guys all the time it’s about process and progress and moving forward.”

Drake Maye May Play Later In The Season Or Wait Until 2025

Maye doesn’t have to start the season or sit out the whole season. There is potential for him to get some playing time later in the year if needed. The focus is on developing him properly and working towards progress.

“Look, and this goes to any position, if he comes out here and he lights it up, and once again, it goes back to the quality of reps, it could happen. I sit here and tell you, coming out of the spring, Jacoby looks like the starting quarterback. Now, with that being said, he’ll have competition. Let’s not forget about even Joe Milton. Let’s not forget about [Bailey] Zappe. All those guys will have opportunities to go out there and be the starting quarterback in week one.”

Jacoby Brissett Is The Starting Quarterback For The Patriots

The team is backing Jacoby Brissett as the starting quarterback for now, given his extensive experience in the league. He is seen as a good presence in the locker room and is expected to fill that role until Maye is ready.

“The goal for Drake is just to get better each and every day. And look, it’s not a straight line up to the top. There will be ups and downs. But if you look left to right, you just hope that if he started here, he’s here. And once again, if he comes out here and he takes full advantage and lights it up, he could be the day-one quarterback. But like I said, coming out of the spring, I think it’s Jacoby.”

Mayo and Wolf are striving to prove themselves and show that they can develop a quarterback and an effective offensive system. The team is looking to avoid the offensive issues of the past and build a strong, successful team.

I think Zappe should get cut and the Patriots sign another veteran quarterback in camp. I don’t care who it is but that wannabe doesn’t belong on this team with a rookie quarterback period. I’m all done with the Zappe fans thinking he’s the next big thing because he kissed up to Belichick.

In summary, the team is focused on developing Maye and building a strong offensive system that can support a winning football team
