Patriots Coach Denies Reports on Quarterback Development

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has shown improvement since taking over for Jacoby Brissett, boosting the team's scoring average to 20 points per game, despite a 2-4 record in that span. Reports surfaced that Patriots ownership, concerned about past failures with quarterback Mac Jones, sought external advice on developing Maye, which head coach Jerod Mayo vehemently denied as false. Mayo emphasized the team's confidence in Maye's development and defended the coaching staff's efforts. Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt expressed his commitment to preparing Maye but did not directly address the rumors. The team continues to face challenges, with a struggling roster projected to finish the season with minimal wins. As the Patriots prepare to face the Miami Dolphins, uncertainty looms over the coaching staff's future and the team's overall direction.
