Hall Of Fame QB Makes Surprising Drake Maye, Justin Herbert Admission

The New England Patriots will make their return to the postseason on Sunday night when they square off against the Los Angeles Chargers. Among the notable storylines from this game is the battle that could take place between quarterbacks Drake Maye and Justin Herbert.

Maye and Herbert are two of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL currently, and they will both be looking to lead their team to a big postseason victory. Herbert has more experience in the playoffs than Maye, but nothing has fazed the Pats’ second-year quarterback this season.

One guy who knows what it takes to win at this point in the season is Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner. And while he picked New England to win this game, he surprisingly revealed that he trusts Herbert more than Maye heading into one.

“If they can protect him, I like his weapons, I love the way that he plays, he does so many things well,” Warner said on “NFL GameDay.” “He’s playing at a really high level this year.”

It’s understandable why some folks are wary of trusting Maye heading into this game. All season long, people have been waiting for the rug to get pulled out from underneath Maye and the Pats, but it simply hasn’t happened yet. Even if he has no postseason experience, he’s delivered the goods in several important games for New England this year.

While there are 53 players on both rosters, Maye and Herbert likely will dictate how this game unfolds. Kickoff for this big clash is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Sunday night, with the winner advancing to the divisional round of the playoffs.
