JJM or Maye

[Hankybro21]

I was higher on Maye going into the draft until the landing spots played out as they did.

Are we taking JJM over Maye now with JJM landing with the Vikings?

I have been circulating this in my head and I really think JJM is the best. I just don’t trust the NE offense in the next 2-3 years

Maye on talent. Situations change.

[Tomy31]

None for me… Having a QB who will give me average 12/13 points fantasy…

Short term JJM. Long term Maye

I was higher on Maybe going into the draft until the landing spots played out as they did.

Are we taking JJM over Maye now with JJM landing with the Vikings?

For QBs I value talent over situation more than any other position. IMO, there is too big a gap in talent between the two for me to take JJM. Easily Maye for me.

I find myself being the opposite. I feel QBs are always a huge crapshoot and there’s very few who are capable of lifting a team without a good situation around them. So I tend to go for situation.

Running QBs are somewhat of an exception for fantasy as they will still score.

Always fun to see differing opinions. I don’t blame you or anyone else going Maye.

Just a reminder, that from a talent standpoint, the two aren't close and the Vikings agree: "The Vikings front office, in other words, did everything it could to move up and land Drake Maye. Instead, the stayed at pick 11 and took J.J. McCarthy. "

Except they didn’t stay at pick 11. But everything else is true.

I get the thought that JJM will be more productive than Maye in the short-term.

But will he really be *so* productive that you're using him on a championship team?? I highly doubt that will be the case, so I'm not factoring in production in this case over the next couple of years.

If it were JJM vs. say Daniels or a rookie D. Watson or Fields, then it makes sense to factor immediate production since their rushing numbers alone might get them in winning lineups. I just don't see JJM's numbers approaching that in 2024/2025, so I wouldn't factor that it.

-----------
I'm also in the camp about QB talent, though there are some teams were QBs seem to go to die. It's a real concern. And it's a new regime in NE...

I'm the same with people choosing JJM in this situation. If their assessment is the talent gap is minimal, and they see a huge advantage in JJM's landing spot, I don't think it's bad for them to go get their chosen guy.

Right now we don't know which one will hit, or if both will miss. Neither is close to a sure bet. Might as well choose the one you like better.
