Patriots VP of player personnel Eliot Wolf expressed confidence in the team’s current roster, including rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Despite Maye not getting many reps with the first-team offensive line, Wolf praised his performance in the preseason game against the Eagles. Wolf emphasized the importance of Maye’s development and praised his ability to play “ball” without overthinking. Head coach Jerod Mayo stated that the quarterback competition between Maye and Jacoby Brissett is ongoing, but it appears that Brissett is the safer option to start. Wolf referenced Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud’s success as a rookie starter but noted that it’s important to focus on where the offense, Brissett, and the team as a whole are at. The Patriots are looking to build on Maye’s successes and see where his development can go. Despite the potential for Maye to provide more upside and a higher ceiling than Brissett, the team is focused on making the best decision for the offense and team as a whole. Fans and media may have concerns, but Wolf remains confident in the team’s ability to compete with the current pieces in place.
