Drake is totally pressing to much. Trying to force plays because the lack of any skill production so far.

[Brycen 🏆 @Brycen2047]

Bruce Arians is correct - and he’s using the same word I have been.

“Pressing”

Drake Maye is playing A+ ball and then forcing things (because the offense is nothing without him)

Mac struggled because of his physical limitations. Drake struggles because of everyone else’s.

That’s the type of player you have full confidence in things turning things around. Full confidence in Maye.

📝 My extended thoughts on Drake and the unfortunate start to the 2026 season.

Drake Maye has been bad this season.

Even as one of his biggest supporters, I can't deny it. He looks like a completely different QB. I wish I had an explanation, but I don't.

We should be able to acknowledge that while also appreciating just how good he was last season, and understanding that you don't go from 100 to 0 overnight.

Last year, as a 23-year-old, he put together some of the most prolific quarterbacking we've ever seen from a sophomore (both statistically and on film). And he wasn't a Shanahan puppet elevated by a friendly system. He was routinely making some of the most difficult throws you can possibly make on a football field. We’re talking about someone who somehow led the league in both completion percentage and yards per attempt while posting the second-highest aDOT.

And don't let anyone use the word "schedule" to discredit that. I watched Drake go 13/14 for 184 yards in the second half and lead a game-winning drive on the road against the defense that allowed the FEWEST passing yards in 2025. I watched him post the second-highest success rate in 49 games against any Jim Schwartz defense that was also allowing the second-fewest passing yards in 2025. I watched him throw for 261 yards and 3 video-game TDs against the defense that allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards in 2025.

So yes, Drake has been outright bad in 2026, and something needs to change. But he's already reached heights at 23 that very few QBs reach in their entire careers. So the next time you say he's "not the guy" or call for Tommy DeVito, take a step back and think about what you're saying.

Drake Maye is the guy. Whether he looks like it next week, next month, or this year, is TBD. But I promise you this: he is the guy. I believe that as much as I ever have.

Drake Maye has to stop throwing off his back foot and fading away.

Somali pirates reportedly hijacked a ship, the MTT SIBU 1, owned by a member of the Iraqi Al-Shaghanba tribe (they're the ones that live on the marshes near Basra for the OIF vets...).

The inbred Somalis demanded a ransom but the tribal council of elders decided that wasn't happening and reportedly sent 30-40 tribal fighters to get the ship back which is the footage seen here.

According to Sheikh Ali al-Shaghanba, the Iraqis battled the Somalis for 5 hours and eventually regained control of the ship and took "several" Somalis as prisoners.

For my own personal entertainment - I'd love to see more of this 😂

Monitor the Gulf Of Aden accordingly...

Drake Maye has faced one of the toughest 5-game defensive slates we've seen for a QB in recent memory: LAC, HOU, DEN, SEA, SEA.

So I asked: using 2025 defensive stats, what does an average QB put up over 5 games against those four defenses? Here's Maye vs. that baseline.

On September 9, 2001, one of the most significant events in modern military history occurred just 48 hours prior to the attacks of 9/11 when legendary Afghan guerrilla leader Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated by two al-Qaeda operatives posing as journalists. While they set up a camera to record an interview, they detonated explosives in its battery pack, killing one of the most brilliant military leaders in history.

Praised by the Wall Street Journal in 1992 as, “The Afghan Who Won the Cold War,” the “Lion of Panjshir” was the most effective mujahideen commander in the fight against the Soviets. He famously noted, “there are only two things the Afghan must have, the Quran and the Stingers.”

Following the defeat of the Soviets he was appointed the Minister of Defense in the new Islamic State of Afghanistan before once again taking up arms to oppose the Taliban.

In April 2001 he spoke to the European Parliament in France, warning of an al-Qaeda plot to attack the United States that would make the destruction of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania pale by comparison.

Massoud led the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan (Northern Alliance), the force that would take Kabul and oust the Taliban from power in the name of their martyred commander alongside U.S. military and intelligence personnel just months after his death.

I often wonder what Afghanistan would look like had Massoud taken his place as a leader in a post 9/11 world. Would we have left in defeat? Would the Taliban be in power today? We will never know.

“Death is better than life in humiliation.” - Ahmad Shah Massoud

Give this guy in Mass an award or something. We need more people like him.
