Mayes mechanics are enough of an issue that it caused his accuracy to be considered a weakness. Which is the reason he isn’t the slam dunk #2 pick. if I’m investing in him I’d want to commit to fixing that issue and make him the QB he can be for the future rather than throwing him out there and hoping he could fix stuff in his spare time. Daniels doesn’t need to sit to learn how to throw the ball over the middle. He needs to play to get better at that.

The reason for Maye to sit is his mechanics. You fix bad footwork and inconsistent throw mechanics with drills and repetition. That's a lot harder to do if you're spending 60 hours a week devouring the game plan and tape of the opponent. And a player is likely to lapse back into those bad mechanics if they haven't much time to change them and they're trying to win a game. You need time to unlearn what you were doing wrong and have the new process become second nature. Daniels' issues are the types that either are unlikely to be corrected or can be worked on with experience. I'm as much Maye over Daniels as anyone but I'd want Maye sitting and working on his footwork for at least half a season. The only reason I'd sit Daniels (apart from just him looking bad) is if I thought the OLine needed work or it'd get any QB killed and so I'd sit him to protect him.

That's brutal. My deepest sympathies. I have lost two brothers, but I don't think even that is in the same universe as a child. Years ago, I would give myself legit panic attacks by just imagining something happening to my daughter. I can't imagine even being a (semi) functional adult if it had. I'm touched enough that I'll try to not to say anything insulting to you for... let's not get crazy, so 48 hours?

Come on, man! What was he wearing? Was there burgundy in the outfit? Was he wearing red, white and/or blue, indicating he wants to got to the Patriots? Was he drinking anything when he entered the building? If so, was it gold ole' American Dunkin Donuts coffee or was he drinking a Starbuck latte like some kind of communist? If you don't think there was news value to seeing him arrive you are a fool. A FOOL, I SAY!!!

I think he's given his reasons for believing Maye's big issues are more correctable than Maye's. You can disagree, but on the big ones it seems pretty self-evident why he'd be aiming that case. Obviously, there's not much that ca be done about Daniels' frame or arm strength, but Maye's mechanics and the accuracy issues that come with them are the types of things tha are fixed pretty often. I mean if I said a guy who's missing a limb is a bigger long-term issue than a guy who has a hangnail, I don't think that would be bad faith" argument.
