Because by the time they've reached the pros, they've been doing this sorta thing so long it's become instinct. Timing is also something that tends to be innate. You usually have it or you don't.

Timing is different in the NFL so you have to adapt anyway. Timing isn’t innate; that’s why they work on it in practice every day.

All players work on footwork. That’s about coaching and putting in the work.

He’s gone work to do. That’s for sure. We’ll see.

I'm quite pleased with Maye's upside. I really liked hearing about his background being the youngest kid and having to battle with his brothers. The mentorship relationship with Cam Newton. I really wish him the best of luck here!

Yup comes from a very athletic family. Like 3 brothers that all played sports, one of which played on a Champ Tar Heel team. Father played QB in college. He's a good one for sure.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

If you’re happy then i feel even better

Im absolutely pumped

# 10 is cursed.

Corky, Jimmy, WRs have worn it and I don't recall any that were good.

I disagree on pretty much all that as I've yet to see any player radically improve either from college to the pros. But, we'll see.

OK I wanted McCarthy but I'm over it. Maye has a lot of athleticism, size, and arm strength so we KNOW he's not Mac Jones. He's young and has plenty of time to develop. He has a good chance to be good but it will take some time to know what we've got.

Mac Jones Redux...

Hope I'm wrong, Fear I'm right.

Maye could bust out, but for the exact opposite reason than Mac. They are pretty much the exact opposite QB. Mac was the polished NFL ready QB with mediocre athleticism who was believed to be a high floor and low ceiling. Maye is raw, needs development, but is freakish in athleticism. He has a low floor, but sky high ceiling.

We got lucky. Great pick Maye...

Mac Jones Redux...

Hope I'm wrong, Fear I'm right.

The odds of being right are in your favor. QB has a high bust rate.

The big reason that I didn't want Maye was that he takes too long to process and get rid of the ball. So I hope your observation is wrong but my concern is that it's right. Does he have the athleticism to overcome the slow decision making? I don't think so, but time will tell.

Athleticism never overcomes that.

Love it. Super happy. Out of all our options this was number 1 for me.

 

[sambam94]

dude is high energy..

Mac Jones Redux...

Hope I'm wrong, Fear I'm right.

In what universe is Mac Jones comparable to Maye?

 

[ahmed]

Maye The Force Be With Him.

I was going to say this!

Well to be fair it depends on how slow. Roethlisberger was not elite at processing speed- not terrible either- but was good enough to win because he had elite level ability to avoid sacks.
