I am expecting a pro bowl season

He's closer to Tom Brady then Lamar Jackson

Not sure I’d agree.

Perhaps another good comp would be RG3. Which is also a great explanation of why some of us want to see Drake temper his inclination to run and play out of structure.

I'd put him closer in style to someone like Steve Young.

Who is saying he didn’t do exactly that last year? Which of those things do you think he didn’t effectively utilize?

The alternative to extending a play is to give up on a play. The alternative to needing to extend a play is to have better blocking.

Maye threw 57.4% of his passes 9 yards or less and completed 86% of them.
Are we unhappy with that? They averaged 7 years per attempt.
He threw 23.8% of them 10-19 yards downfield. He completed 66.7% of them and averaged 11.7 years per attempt.
He attempted 12.8% of his passes 20+ yards downfield, composed 54.8% for 16.9 yards per attempt.
What in those numbers is less than phenomenal?

He was sacked 47 times for 205 lost yards, but escaped sacks and scrambled 61 times for 422 yards gained.

There are also many cases of him escaping the rush and making big plays, a decent amount of the 10-19 and 20 + throws were off platform.
