    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    FWIW, Scheftner sounds pretty certain Washington is going to take Daniels. From his podcast: "I know we’re not supposed to spoil picks, and we’ll see how the Commanders decide to move forward with the No. 2 overall selection...I think the signs continue to point to Jayden Daniels being the...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzCfYqzwA5s Good breakdown here on the good and bad of McCarthy. You can see why some teams would really like him. Fits a modern NFL offense much better than, say, Penix.

    Completely, entirely unrealistic, but this would be the draft for all ages.

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    The thing is, I could see the Patriots falling for McCarthy. He fits an AVP offense very well, probably better than Daniels. McCarthy has good mobility, excels in the play action, and can make plays out of structure. That isn't Daniels' strength. Daniels is more of a traditional pocket passer...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    I don't really get the argument for him over Daniels. To me, even without the rushing ability, I'd still take Daniels over him. Harbaugh has been blowing so much smoke ("the best QB in the draft," on his Pro Day, "best I've seen a quarterback throw it") that I think people are getting carried...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    Yeah, agree. The ceiling is too high for Washington to pass him up. The Hurts comp from the Athletic guys feels pretty apt for Daniels. I'd be fine with that. Kraft's comments the other day not fully endorsing Wolf as potential GM was in some respects typical owner-speak. But by placing...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    His injuries were early in his college career. Daniels is also an injury risk based on his playing style. If the Pats have him graded similarly to Daniels and the Vikings covet Daniels, it makes a lot of sense to get more value. The Pats' rebuild was always more likely to be two years anyway...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    Yeah, starting to think they're going to trade out of 3 if Maye is gone. They're likely going to get a haul with Penix, maybe McCarthy , still in play.

    2024 NFL Draft: Patriots Discussion

    Could see the Pats taking him if they move down and acquire elite talents on the OL and at WR, with an eye on next year's draft for their QB1. There doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about him but he's decent at a lot of things. One of the guys from PFF said he had a dominant...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    So on the topic of McCarthy, one thing that bothers me is the perception that he's some kind of gem because he was in a run heavy offense so we didn't get to see the full extent of his talents. The opposite case can be made–that being in a run heavy offense allowed him to rely almost exclusively...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    Yeah, I worry about him getting injured and he has a good but not great arm. I'm more... 1) Williams 2) Maye 3)Daniels, Penix 4) McCarthy

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    Yeah, if we are talking about QBs who played on elite teams, I'd much prefer Penix to McCarthy. I could actually see McCarthy being of interest to the Pats because he's a good fit in an AVP offense with all of the play action he did, but he stinks at throwing downfield and I don't see that...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    He's also significantly younger than Daniels. I think all his flaws are fixable. He's much better in the middle of the field than Daniels, had a worse line, and far fewer weapons.

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    I think you go QB especially since this draft in particular is a good draft for tackles and receivers. Just because you don't draft a stud like Alt doesn't mean you are out on getting an impact player. Receiver, the same. Preference is for Maye because of his upside, his physicality, and his...
