Drake Maye

This kid is legit.  Best prospect in a few years.  The way he adjusts the speed of his throws is pro ready right now.

 

My only gripe about him, and this is minor, is that he takes some unnecessary hits when he scrambles.  He needs to work on sliding, getting out of bounds and just knowing when the play is dead.  But that can be worked on.  He took a couple of dumb hits last night that could have turned out bad.

Can he play a good team first?

I watched part of the game (and yes I’m a Tar Heel homer), and what impresses the most about him is how he handles pressure. He is extremely calm under duress, very similar to Bryce Young. And that is what makes him a great QB.

We’ve got to start coming up with better arguments than this.

I mean for fug’s sake… who are the good teams? Tennessee and Georgia? That’s probably it by the standards that the idiots on this board go by. What do you want Maye to do? Throw 7 TD passes?

Drake Maye, a college freshmen, outperformed Hendon Hooker, a five year college player against the same opponent (Pittsburgh).

I’m convinced that people who continue to make these stupid ass comments in regards to competition levels have never played organized sports.

All Maye can do is play to the best of his ability, he’s doing that.

You're a UNC homer. You can't be objective.

And you’re comments are foolish, so you can’t be right.

And for what it’s worth, I’m a UNC fan, I also have plenty of critiques about Carolina’s football team, starting with their OL and defense.

At the same time, I’ve got two working eye balls.

All you do is bitch about people talking about Carolina sports on a message board that is based on Carolina teams… find a new hobby, you’re pathetic trolling makes you look like a child stuck in grade school.

Have you watched him play at all?

He has not, all he does is bitch about anything and everything related to college teams based out of the Carolina’s… and then makes stupid ass comments like, “I guess I can’t talk poo about Carolina or else Linville will ban me”.

It’s a pathetic life to live, really.

So the huddle is willing to bypass drafting a QB in this upcoming draft that has been hyped up here for the past 2 years so that we can have another bad year next season in order to draft this new QB  that the huddle is hyping up in 2024? 

We’re gonna have to tank sooner or later for a franchise QB. Idk why people want to keep delaying it. It’s like they think we can just trade up without giving up major capital that would delay the rebuild

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
