He is a long term project. If we have room for a long term project we should keep him. There is no value in trading or cutting him unless we need to roster spot or a different player. Can he be happy as a long term project? That's up to him.

Yeah, but is that long term project restoring a 72 Pacer?

I honestly don’t know.

It was reported that JJM worked with John Beck in the offseason to work on his mechanics. Beck has a reputation as a QB savant. Yet, during camp we saw the same flaws that we saw last season. It's both baffling & frustrating.

You have to start to wonder if he’s not coachable.

I would be a very large sum of money on this.

I’m in line with KOC on this one. I’d keep working with him. It’s not like you have to have cap relief. Will he get there? I just don’t know. In my opinion it comes down to his mental make up. I still feel the loss of year one was devastating to his development. I know I may be 1 of 1, but I saw improvement in the preseason.

He certainly wasn’t my pick in that draft and I don’t think he was KOC’s either. I’ve always felt it was Nix and Kwesi overruled him.

Let's see what Maye does without a Mountain West Conference schedule like he had last year.
