The New England Patriots entered their final preseason game on Sunday night against the Washington Commanders still undecided about who the Week 1 starting quarterback would be on Sept. 8.
First-year head coach Jerod Mayo didn't sway regarding the quarterback competition despite Drake Maye leading the Patriots down the field 88 yards for the game's opening score.
"I would say Drake took the ball down the field. You take away some of those bad snaps, and it probably looks a lot better," Mayo told NBC's Melissa Stark on the Sunday Night Football broadcast. "Jacoby (Brissett) went out there the first series, also made a conversion. We'll see how it plays out."
Brissett only lasted one drive and seven plays before exiting the game with a shoulder injury sustained during New England's opening drive.
After witnessing Maye go five-for-six for 71 yards and a 17-yard scramble for a first down on third-and-14, Patriots fans flocked to social media to express their choice for New England's Week 1 starter.
Drake Maye should start week one. Not only is he light years better than Jacoby Brissett but he looks way more comfortable in an offense Brissett has run before.
It’s so clear that Drake Maye is ready to be the starting QB. Why do teams bring in these Jacoby Brissett and Tyrod Taylor’s of the world? They always get benched early and it just ends up being a huge waste of time.
But for every post stating Maye is ready to start for the Patriots, fans also begged New England to fix the offensive line before the rookie takes the reigns.
Drake Maye looks good but the Patriots need to put a good o line in front of him

Drake Maye looks good but the Patriots offensive line has been abysmal! They can’t get lined up correctly and can’t block the commanders backups. I don’t think you can put your rookie QB in against a real defense until that unit is better stabilized #NEPats#NFL
Mayo and company will have a big decision to make before the Patriots travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals on Sept. 8. Do you think New England should gamble with Maye or let the rookie learn from Brissett this season? Sound off in the comments below.
