Maye must play

Based on what we’ve seen, Brissett has no business being the starter.

While Maye has a lot to work on, there’s no point keeping him on the sidelines.

Every snap he plays, good bad or ugly, makes him better next year.
Every snap he sits slows down his development.
His development is the biggest priority on this team.

The deal is, there is nobody in front of him that is preventing him from playing today. They took him #3 overall for a reason. Mac Jones played when he was the 15th overall pick. There’s no excuse.
 
Remember............ "JAGcoby is an upgrade over Mac"

 
We went from wanting Brissett to hold down the job as Maye learns to demanding that Maye start right away and it’s only the second preseason game. Lol.
When did “we” want brissett to play?
 
It was one preseason game. We need to stop it.

Even if Brissett is a disaster. You do not play Maye until he is ready. You don't risk screwing the kid up so we can win 7-8 games or possibly less.

Stop looking at everything about this year. This team is thinking beyond this year. I would rather go 0-17 and let Maye sit if he truly isn't ready than to rush him out there and have him develop bad habits that he can never break.

If he is ready and he is the best option, start him. If they believe it is better for his long term prospects to sit him even if it is only for a month, then sit him. The primary focus is trying to make Maye a franchise QB, not win games this year.
 
You can not tell anything about tonights game

1. Brissett played 3 series
2. Maye was playing against backups witha vanilla defense

AVP will know when its time for Maye to play

Stay the course and do not change plan because of one preseason game

I guess I just wonder in which way he’s not ready. He was really executing the offense brilliantly out there. His throws were beautiful and he was handling pressure very well. I didn’t see any issues with confusion or not knowing what to do or anything like that. He got through his reads perfectly fine and quickly. So what’s left to be learned? I’m not necessarily arguing for him to play, I just don’t know. He looks NFL ready to my novice eye.
 
I guess for me, it comes down to what he has shown in practice and in the film room. Is he learning quickly, learning from his mistakes, not committing the same errors repeatedly? If the answer is yes, then play him. Let him learn from live action. If the answer is no to any of those questions, then he sits. He can learn and develop at his pace behind the scenes. But if he’s adjusting quickly, play his ass.
 
Maye is looking more comfortable under center, commanding the huddle, pointing out blitz pickups, being able to audible out of bad looks. If he’s ready you play him, if he’s not you don’t. This isn’t hard.
 
Maye looked good tonight. I thought Jacoby moved the ball too but that interception was brutal.

If it keeps going this way the Maye could start sooner than we think but not quite ready to call it yet.

Was thatv the case for mahommes? He did well to sit for a year. Maye 100% needs to sit until at least Brissett gets hurt, which is pretty much a foregone conclusion
 
At least let us see multiple drives against starters! I wanna see if Maye can keep up with actual NFL speed.

One backup CB can wreck an entire defense and team and let a QB flourish (SB52...), that's why it's hard for me to get hyped against the Eagles backup.

But we'll never figure out if we don't see it!
