Mike Reiss is worried that playing Drake Maye behind the current New England offensive line would set the rookie quarterback back in his development.

The Patriots are expected to start Drake Maye at some point this season, and Albert Breer has the details on how they're preparing him for that moment.

New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo will stick with Jacoby Brissett as his starting quarterback — for now. And some folks think that’s just plain silly. But an NFL insider delivered a warning that calls for Drake Maye to start are premature.

During a Monday appearance on WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show," first-year Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo explained why he's sticking with Brissett through at least the beginning of this coming Sunday's game at the 49ers.

Drake Maye’s time as starting quarterback is a matter of when — and not if — this season. That’s according to Sports Illustrated NFL insider Albert Breer, who wrote Monday that Maye’s appearance in mop-up time for the Patriots against the Jets was “another step” in the organization’s plan of having the rookie succeed Jacoby Brissett.

Now that the New England Patriots have put Drake Maye into an NFL game, people are asking when the rookie will get his first NFL start. Is Maye more ready to play in Week 4 than he was to start the season?
