After a season in which he finished as the runner-up for MVP, Drake Maye is enduring an opening month that calls to mind some of the biggest draft busts in recent memory.

J.J. McCarthy, too, was traded after a swift failure in Minnesota, placing him among a rather inglorious set of companions.

Of the six quarterbacks who set a record in the first round of the 2024 draft, two have opened the 2026 season with the worst possible start.

Let us first take a look at May.

In his second season in 2025, he emerged as a star by leading the NFL in passer rating (113.5), completion percentage (72.0), and yards per attempt (8.9), and, buoyed by having led the Patriots to the Super Bowl, he finished second in MVP voting, narrowly behind Matthew Stafford.

New England reached the playoffs even though Maye delivered a somewhat underwhelming postseason performance against one of the league's top defenses, but the situation deteriorated further over the first three games of this season.

Maye committed seven turnovers in his first three games, and the Patriots managed to produce only a single touchdown, a mark that no quarterback had recorded since 2007.

The one silver lining is that the last quarterback to record such a mark was Drew Brees, who went on to have a solid season that year and then built a Hall of Fame career.

Another group that Maye belongs to is far less encouraging.

His 58.6 passer rating represents the fifth instance over the past 10 seasons of a quarterback starting the first three games and recording a figure below 60.

Other quarterbacks who have made this list include notable draft busts such as Anthony Richardson (55.9 in 2024), Justin Fields (50 in 2022), Zach Wilson (51.6 in 2021), and DeShone Kizer (53.2 in 2017).

The Patriots have managed to score just 29 points on offense so far this season (their Week 2 win over Pittsburgh featured a defensive touchdown), which is the lowest total over a three-game span since the 2021 Jets scored 20 points when Wilson started the first three games of his career.

McCarthy suffered a season-ending knee injury in his first preseason game with the Vikings, making him the third top-10 quarterback to not play a single snap as a rookie.

Jack Thompson was selected third overall in 1979 and went on to start five games for Cincinnati shortly thereafter; Marty Domres, taken ninth overall in 1969, started six games for the Chargers; and Andre Ware, the seventh overall pick in 1990, started six games for Detroit.

After throwing a late interception during a potential game-winning drive in Sunday's loss to the Giants, Cam Ward fell to a career record of 3 wins and 17 losses as Tennessee's starting quarterback since being drafted first overall in 2025.
