Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 13, 2023, 03:07:49 PMHere is a clip from an article in The Athletic today about him:


Before the season, NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah compared Maye to Carson Palmer, the No. 1 pick in 2003. ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky said that Maye has "Big Ben" in his game, referencing former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, on "The Dan Patrick Show" last month after calling some of Maye's games.

"I think he's a superstar in the NFL," Orlovsky said. "I do."

Tim Hasselbeck, an analyst for ESPN and the ACC Network, said earlier this month that he would select Maye over Williams, calling him as "perfect of a prospect (as) I have ever seen in 15 years at ESPN."

Dane Brugler, the draft analyst for The Athletic, rated Maye as the top player in his updated list of the top 50 prospects. Brugler compared him to Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.

"Cut from the same cloth," Brugler told the "Hoge & Jahns" podcast in October after evaluating two months of tape from this season. "Good-sized quarterback, great feet, big-time arm. You love the command of the offense. And when you evaluate the quarterback position, you always want to see the full inventory of throws, right? So not every college quarterback can give you that. Drake Maye can."

I haven't thought who I would compare him to but Herbert is a closer fit than Big Ben. I think he may wind up going number one. This past Duke win highlighted all his attributes. I would love to have seen him face stiffer competition and as @Bob In PA pointed out that's a talking point. He faces a Clemson team this weekend that is a shell of its former dominant self.

Quote from: MightyGiants on November 13, 2023, 03:35:21 PMThat wasn't a wisecrack; it was my effort to try and keep things respectful.  To suggest that people who were "on the DJ bandwagon" are flawed or don't know what they are talking about is, as I suggested, inappropriate, especially in light of injury issues.  We always preach to be respectful and allow all viewpoints, and that comment seemed to be the antithesis of what we preach.

So now you're going to attempt to control content based on observation of other sites? It wasn't meant to be disrespectful and you know it. It's a fact. Getting back to the point here, their followers will vote according to how they were influenced by their content. If another site that wasn't supportive all season took a vote, they would get different results. The lack of Daboll support may be a vocal minority but it's certainly not less than 10%. Among his followers it is. If this keeps up, less than 10% will go up and up.

Right now they support Daboll. They are on the Daboll bandwagon. That can change. 

Quote from: MightyGiants on November 13, 2023, 03:24:43 PMYou are entitled to your opinion, as I am entitled to my different opinion.   We can disagree, but it's not appropriate to put others down for having a different opinion.

Not putting you down. You're still on the bandwagon. Calling a spade a spade. Your wisecrack comment says it all. "Considering the DJ bandwagon ended with injuries, I am unsure of the point you are making." Who's putting who down Rich?

Quote from: MightyGiants on November 13, 2023, 03:17:25 PMI have never been a fan of "I told you so" posting, and I am even less of a fan of negating everything off of half a dozen games under the worst conditions.

You asked and btw, he's a coach killer. I said it two years ago and held out hope. He's hopeless Rich. Give it up.

Quote from: MightyGiants on November 13, 2023, 03:09:08 PMConsidering the DJ bandwagon ended with injuries, I am unsure of the point you are making. 

The point is they said that he was playing the worst football of his career. Sorry, I should have known you were still on that bandwagon.

You know I respect these gentlemen, but they were on the DJ bandwagon until it was over. They influence their followers too. Guarantee you that as soon as they change course on Daboll, their flock does too.

It is something we can remember.

Absolutely.
