POLL: Caleb Williams or Drake Maye?

[UGAPatsfan]

You mean Williams

Yea thx I’ll correct that

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Crying let's out all negative thoughts or disappointments to begin things afresh . So not sure why we want to label crying as emotionally less mature .

Sometimes folks have too many things bottled up and it causes depression and other mental issues.

I am not saying you are meaning that, but your statement states otherwise.

Of course…but do that **** in private, not on the field with a camera in your face.

It just makes me question mental makeup…which gets into my real issue.

I feel we JUST drafted a 1st rd QB who absolutely wilted under real pressure.

Gun shy I guess.

I want an absolute psycho at QB next.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Not on the field, in that particular situation.

I think it’s fair to take that, and his ask about equity in the franchise who drafts him as red flags.

Why do we associate crying as a sign of weakness. Isn't it a sign of not really caring what the world thinks and showing their emotional side.

Not sure why we consider stoic demeanor and non emotional aspect as signs of success?
It’s situational awareness. Brady cried…in interviews about his draft spot or his Dad

I am not saying williams will be successful but just the notion that if you cry you are weak ...

How does it matter .
I think it makes them look human .
Why should they cry In private if it's something they really cared about and went the other way due to roll of dice or players luck.

I think sometimes it's just too overwhelming and you don't realize everyone is watching you .

I am more interested in Daniels than Maye, but that's only because I have seen Daniels play and have not seen Maye. Williams, meh. I don't love the hype machine, and him breaking down in his mother's arms, while endearing if I wanted a nice kid to be my future son-in-law, doesn't make me think he's emotionally mature enough to lead an NFL franchise day one.

I have watched more Ewers and McCarthy than any of them.

Caleb Williams is my QB.

Seriously with that arm he can cry all he wants as long as the football gets there.

The equity part I agree, makes him look stupid and entitled and greedy. Crying everytime might be an issue . But ocassional outbursts I think should be ok.

Why are we okay with people hurling expletives publicly or getting into fights and looking at that as macho behavior or acceptable behavior but crying as sign of weakness. Points to ponder???

I am just saying that being an NFL QB is a tough job, mentally and physically. Running to breakdown in his mother's arms might be a sign that he may not be emotionally up for the job right now. I could care less that he cries. Brady cried. I care that he ran to mumma. Again, I am not judging the kid as a human being. As a father, I have no problem with his display of emotion and the need for family support. I applaud it at the human level. As a consumer and customer of the New England Patriots, I have pause that this young man could be in line to be the face of the franchise and lead them to the promised land.

No one is going to come in and have the mental toughness that Brady did. But the last first round QB the team drafted clearly isn't up to the mental challenge of being the QB of the New England Patriots. I just want to make sure the next guy is mentally and emotionally up to the task. Williams could very well be. I just want to be sure.

BB wants players who are passionate about football.

Does Williams seem passionate about football, or is he more focused on what football success will bring him?

This question applies to the other QB candidates as well.

Which ones of them are passionate about football?

 

[upstater1]

Just out of curiousity, which way are people leaning between these two?

I will note that Caleb Williams is 6'0", which is a concern, while Maye is 6'4". Obviously, Williams is extremely athletic, but watching some film for the first time last night, Maye seems better within the pocket, albeit he doesn't have the same arm, nor is he as strong as Williams.

Without getting too far into the weeds in terms of any evaluation (and for the sake of not clouding anyone's opinions), just wondering how people are feeling to this point...

Caleb Williams all the way.

Drake Maye looks like Rick Mallet with wheels. He's over here winding up like he's Dizzy Dean and meanwhile backside pass rush strips him.

I love a quick release: Caleb Williams.

Here's another thought: trade the pick to the Chargers for Herbert.

 

[Uptown]

Maye or Daniels. I’m cool with either one.

 

[FCB02062]

Michael Bishop

If things fall right this weekend, the Pats could pretty much have the second pick locked up

All I can say is if they get a shot at one of the two quarterbacks they better freaking pick the right one. I don't ask them to do my job, figure it out ya morons

 

[Nikolai]

I kinda like Maye a bit more, but I'm also a complete moron on draft scouting.

 

[Love The Drake]

Mayes release concerns me. But if that can be worked on you have the upside of Justin Herbert. Floor is Daniel Jones.
Caleb ceiling Mahommes, Floor Zach Wilson.

 

[jdlboot14]

I mentioned this earlier in the week.
Williams has shown emotional immaturity and is a bit of a spoiled brat, will probably fare like Fields (but even less durable)
Maye could be good - but only in a Purdy-like situation with a great OL, and lots of talent around him.

I either want to trade for a veteran QB (Cousins, Browning, Carr) + Draft a 2nd rounder
Or trade down and get Daniels + sign a decent FA starter.

So basically a range that includes every quarterback in NFL history apart from Tom Brady

You’re not looking at it from the eye of his teammates, coaches, and competitors. Football, whether we agree or not, is an ultra competitive sport with old school tough guy/jock mentality. It’s always been that way. So when he cried he lost a lot of respect from people who view the game that way.

Bourne is great QB Scout so I would listen to him.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Payton Manning vs Ryan Leaf feelings about this.

Belichick stays? Drake Maye

Belichick moves on? Caleb Williams
