Kurt Warner’s response to Rich Eisen’s question, starting about 3:20 into that, should be required viewing for everybody on here, especially anybody who ever says anything about a QB’s progression of reads. Kurt explains a different way of looking at the field, the one that set Brady apart and seems to be doing that for Maye as well.

Great explanation, thanks for posting it.

One point: Warner's answer isn't merely praise of Maye, per se. It's praise of Maye for being able to read the defenses combined with praise for what the EP system as McDaniels implements it does for Maye.

There was a 2nd year QB in 2001 who also won 9 in a row ... but 3 of those were in the post-season.

Give it up dude.

Give it up dude.

It’s embarrassing!

Just another internet troll!!

“But but but I love Mahomes and I need to be correct that he’s the best so I have to find bizarre stats to diminish anyone else getting flowers!”

No one deserves to live this nightmare of his more, than Scott Kacsmar.

Oh no, it's not 'Mahomes'.

It's anything not-Patriots.

If this guy is hating on Maye now then that means Maye is already a superstar.

Current streak is still alive. Upper bound on possible duration is 17. I think we’d all love to see that, right?

Reading his timeline and his gaslighting on Brady vs Mahomes is breathtaking.

It was Manning before that. This has been 25 years of this, almost.

Exactly. When everybody talks about the complexity of Josh’s offense this is what they’re talking about. It’s truly on another level, and Warner explains just how that is and what makes it both difficult and special. And then points out that Drake seems to have an outstanding mastery of it in just his second season in the NFL.

Makes me think we need to adopt this as our new theme song: Future’s So Bright (h/t Sam). That theme also seems like an appropriate meme for the rest of the league, lol.

Imagine if the QB available at #3 in 2024 had been Caleb Williams. Not exactly the guy you'd want trying to master EP.

Another example of how sometimes not getting the #1 pick benefits the team. The Pats didn't have to overthink anything and took the best player available in Maye at #3. Had they secured the #1 overall pick, they may have gone paralysis by analysis like Kyle Shanahan did between Mac Jones and Trey Lance. Benefited the Pats again with other teams taking Carter and Hunter before Campbell.

An interesting note, Caleb Williams and his family did not even want to go to Chicago in the first place. Ryan Pace is lucky as hell his team is 9-3. Whoever gets the higher seed between Vrabel and Johnson is going to be the front runner for coach of the year.
