For all Drake Maye’s excellence during the regular season, his postseason was a mess.
The way Maye responds will determine how he’s viewed by a cynical, football-watching public, @mikesilver.bsky.social writes.
I don't think it's a narrative. He stunk. He has many years to get back to that point and not stink.

Seattle’s victory in Super Bowl LX will be remembered for a dominant defensive performance.
It will also be known as a day when Maye failed to measure up ⤵️

We're used to seeing Tom Brady in Patriots Super Bowls. Drake Maye's debut on the big stage was... not like that. My column for @theathletic.com

When the call came on draft night 29 years ago, Mike Vrabel was excited. Then he slammed down the phone. My latest, for @theathletic.com

The Chargers wanted Mike McDaniel to be their offensive coordinator in 2021, and he wanted to take the job... but was rebuffed. Four years later, they finally got him. From my book The Why Is Everything (link in bio)...
