COMMENTARY
The Drake Maye era has officially begun.
Following weeks of speculation, New England reportedly made the change at quarterback on Tuesday — putting veteran Jacoby Brissett on the bench and handing the keys of the offense to Maye.
Jerod Mayo and the Patriots’ decision to reshuffle their offense comes in the midst of a four-game losing streak, including a dreadful 15-10 defeat doled out by the Dolphins on Sunday.
Given Brissett’s slow processing ability and struggles with hitting receivers deep down the field, Maye’s arm strength and athleticism may give a beleaguered offense a shot in the arm.
