I'm glad the Patriots got pick #3 and not 2. Daniels looks LEGIT.

 

I still think they would have taken Maye.  And yeah, Daniels looks like a stud.

 

And Maye not starting yet isn't a good sign.

I agree Daniels looks good, but Maye not starting isn’t necessarily an indication of anything more than the Pats knew they were taking a guy who wasn’t quite ready to go and are doing him a favor of not throwing him to the wolves out of the gate.  There was a time, not that long ago, where it was common practice for QBs to sit and learn before being handed the reins.  I would argue in most cases, that’s still the best way to do it.  Too many guys are playing before they are ready and have their confidence rocked.  It takes a special player to jump in and produce right away AND maintain that.   There have not been many rookie sensations at QB that have lasted more than a season, the more common path is to struggle and be a nobody or struggle and take 3 years to become somebody. 
 

For every Striud there are 6 Bryce Youngs and for every Josh Allen, there are 50 wrong Josh’s.   QBs don’t grow on trees and developing them has worked out more than throwing them out there.  I hate the Pats, but I think they are doing the right thing.

Disagree. The Pats line is SOOOOOOOOOO bad that playing Maye now would only hurt his career. They are doing the right thing with him.

We definitely dodged a bullet, there! It seems like the first time in half a decade that a good rookie QB went to an NFC team, instead of an AFC one.

 

Imagine if Carolina hadn't "Carolina-d" the Bruce Young pick, and Houston was an afterthought? How much easier would our path the the SB, for the foreseeable future, have been?

Wonder what bears fans are thinking….

 

1) drafted trubisky over mahomes (and others)

2) drafted fields in what is turning out to be the weakest QB draft class.

3) drafted Caleb Williams over Jayden Daniels. 

#3 is still TBD. At this point in their rookie years, Josh looked like a guy that couldn't throw and Sam Darnold was throwing for over 300 yards per game.

Daniels is definitely better this early than I thought he'd be.  His LSU completion% has transferred nicely to the NFL.  The guy is so chill he doesn't seem phased.  His heartbeat is probably 50 BPM at the start of games.  The only question is would he take too many sacks but he's using his legs to get out of trouble when necessary.
