Drake Maye is a promising young QB, but we still don't know what trajectory he'll take from here. Could be great, could be mid. I doubt he'll be bad. No matter what they better block for him better from now on!

Overall, the Pats had a great season. Very proud of
this team despite the butt kicking loss in the Super Bowl.
Coach Vrabel deserved a tonne of credit for turning this franchise around from a team with four wins two seasons ago to a trip to the Super Bowl.
Vrabel instilled a team culture based on accountability, defence, and respect.
Cris Collinsworth mentioned during SB60 yesterday that Vrabel got every playerÂ’s attention by emphasizing that “every player will respect every person in the Patriots organization”. Wow.
Vrabel was a linebacker for the Pats. won three Superbowls with Brady.
It was the defense that kept the team in the game for the half of the game.
The offensive line showed weakness throughout the playoffs with so many sacks on Drake. The protection issue was not just for the Super Bowl.
This young team will learn many lessons from this loss.
They will better and get back to another Super Bowl!
As for Drake, he is a MVP finalist. -lost the award by five votes to Stafford.
He will be a better quarterback after this Super Bowl loss.
