Maye must play

Can I see what you saw because I saw a struggling, incohesive team.
VJr I wasn't talking about that Biscuit lead so called #1 Offense Team: that look like a struggling Incohesive Team *I could use other words to describe*. I was talking about the one lead by Maye yeah I have a complete bias.
 
I really don't think it would be a good idea to start Maye week 1. He has seen our defense and 2-3s vanilla defenses. I would think that it might be beneficial to sit WK1 to watch the defenses and then review film and go from there. I think that he should sit the first month. start week 5.
 
Eagles had most of thier starting D line and DBs.. out there. Yes of course he does. But playing is the only way he does. There is no future HOF QB for him to sit and learn from.
Mahommes didn't have a future hall of fame QB, neither did Brady and no we aren't counting Patriots Hall of Fame. Very few great QB's had a HOF QB to learn from. It's not about that, it's about letting him adjust to the game speed, getting the system down so he knows it well enough to process things quickly, and giving him time to see what defenses are doing and figure out how to recognize that on the field. That will do more for his confidence and play than anything else

This ! Besides if brissett really tanks the first 4 games , the expectations from maye will be a lot lower and also the first 4 weeks gives maye time to get used to NFL speed, watch film, practice .also o-line should be getting their feet wet and carving a positive above -average identity .

This way we are not scarring him for first season. If possible first 7 games wherein Jacoby leads us to 0-7 season .

Maye would start at home against MIA with Brady in FOX broadcast booth.
 
So people are going to see the preseason game and say see Maye is better, but because he outplays someone that against vanilla defense does not mean he could do it against an exotic blitz scheme or any other complex defense. After week 1 start the clock on the competition. I am sure I am in the minority

He’s been outplaying Brissett in practices too by all accounts. I’m not saying he should start week 1, but let’s not act like he’s not deserving to be in conversation to play sooner rather than later.

Yea I have read those reports also but I can't seem to get over the fact that he is facing a defense that he has seen every day for a month. He absolutely deserves to be in the conversation. I think that I am pointing out things that some folks might not take into account.

The decision to sit players Andrew Brandt former Packers GM even concurred and so did wolf to a degree when he was with Green Bay. When Rodgers was drafted there was already a all pro future HOF QB for him to sit behind. Mahomes had an all pro in Smith, more recently love sat behind Rodgers. Those are examples of organizations who can afford to sit a QB. We are a 4-13 team that had the 3rd pick in the draft. There is no Pro Bowl, or even all pro QB for maye to sit behind and develop. Maye has shown something to the team is why Mayo has changed his tune.. even wolf saying " whoever the QB will be" it's telling me that maye has impressed and has been developing the way they want him too. So it will be interesting to see what happens.
 
Let's say Maye starts and plays really poorly. The veteran players on the team are looking to be put in position to succeed as much as possible. They're going to be looking at the coach to pull the guy who's playing poorly and give someone else a shot, Jacoby Brissett in this case. No different than they would at any other position. They're loyal to their own careers and earning potential before the long term development of the franchise.

It's much smoother and easier to justify to the locker room if you play the vet, he sucks, and then you go to the rookie. Even if Maye plays terrible then, all of the vets will understand that Brissett wouldn't give them any better a chance to win and they'll accept Maye's struggles.
Do you seriously think anyone believes that Brissett is the answer?
If Maye is the guy, the team will support him.

to me it’s not a matter of who is better. Nate is the QB of this team, it’s just matter of when. My priority in that decision is what make Maye progress the fastest, and to me, that is unquestionably playing the most football he can.

How do you adjust to the speed of the game if you aren’t playing the game?
 
Like the tragedy that was burrow or CJ when they started as rookies!
He’s talking more about the changes in college that lead to all players not being as ready as they used to be and the dumbing down of offenses because of it.

Oh I know I saw the full interview I was just being fecicoius.

I agree that the more he plays the quicker the game slows down for him. I am just worried that he will be rushed when he actually might not be ready.

Why does that worry you? Playing will accelerate his development. If we lose a couple of games because he makes rookie mistakes, does it really matter? We aren’t winning more than a handful of games even if everything goes perfectly.

Man Burrow got killed and was only able to play half the season. The dude may be permanently broken at this point with all those injuries, but time will tell.

Stroud - Dude's only played one year. Mac had a runnerup OROY and look where he turned up. That being said, it was the right move. Interesting that Stroud believes that Maye is the most NFL-ready QB rookie, but he was just looking at "arm talent." Sounds like the "upstairs" part is progressing nicely, though. Also interesting that Maye and Milton didn't call plays in the huddle in college. We don't get to really see whether or not he's picking up on stuff like that quickly.

Forgot Brady was at Michigan for 5 years.

Williams is starting - Daniels is starting heck even Nix looks like he's starting...copycat league.
