Drake Mayes passer rating is higher than 2007 Tom Brady
Blasphemy!! and Brady had Elite weapons across the Board.

All those MVPs who Drake is emulating had superb weapons. Amazimg what Maye has been doing this season.
 
Maybe the weapons are better than you think.
Mayebe. Hindsight will let us know for sure. Hard to compete with Moss and Harrison amd Kelce and others today though.

I don’t think he’s saying they are as good as 2007 just better than they get credit for

I don’t think so. They are average at best. Don’t want to compare them, but Marino made the magic markers (Duper & Clayton) into household names. Not to say the 2 Marks were devoid of talent, but Marino certainly elevated them. Maye is doing that with his receivers & tight ends.

Add in his line isn’t exactly giving him the most time, and that’s what makes his performance mind boggling. Average weapons and so-so line play, and he produces every game. You see him running for his life on so many pass plays, and he either steps up in the pocket, or rolls out, or runs.

I mentioned in the postgame thread, heard a stat, Daniel Jones has been sacked 7 times, ALL YEAR. Maye was sacked 6 times, TODAY. Could you imagine how much more damage Maye would do, even if the Pats cut the sacks in half, forget just 7 sacks. What he did vs that Cleveland defense, even after getting sacked on 25% of his drop backs, incredible. I have no more words for how good he is.
 
Drake Maye's passer ratings is 135 or higher in 5 out of 8 games so far.

I wonder how many times a QB has a rating over 135 and loses?

The Pats went 5-0 in those games and score 158 points, for a 31.6 average.

For the record, none of Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Matt Stafford, Jordan Love, Dak Prescott or Daniel Jones has had a single game with over a 135 rating (Allen and Mahomes got overs 130 once each).

Trevor Lawrence hasn't had a game with a rating over 100. In 5 years, he's never had a game with a rating of 135. But as recently as a week ago a mediocre was writing that Drake Maye's ceiling is Trevor Lawrence.

Sam Darnold, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson and Jared Goff have each had 2, Baker Mayfield and Aaron Rodgers 1.

So to summarize:

- Drake Maye: 5 games out of 8 with rating > 135

- Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes, Matt Stafford, Jordan Love, Daniel Jones, Trever Lawrence, Sam Darnold, Jared Goff, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurd, Aaron Rodgers and Baker Mayfield vombined: 10 games out of 80+ with rating > 135

Truly special stretch here by Maye.

When was the last time we saw a sophomore just kick the door down like this signaling his arrival?

Mahomes?

Oh! we're in great company.

Alright mayo; we stopped reading @ Trevor Lawrence.

Other QB's have stud Receivers/TE's, and RB's at their disposal. The front office needs to find these types of guys for Maye.

This is assuming Maye will be a top 10 QB or so moving forward.
 
Drake Mayes passer rating is higher than 2007 Tom Brady
I know this was said in jest, but prompted me to look up what Brady's rating was across the first 8 games of the 2007 season:

30 TDs, 2 INTs, 74.2% completion, 2431 yards, 136.2 rating

Mind-boggling.

Mind-boggling.
Wonder where this Maye stretch ranks over the 1st 8 games vs the Brady era.
