They are 3-9 this season and have little to no chance of making the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>However, Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt doesn\u2019t have these things in mind, instead issuing a stern warning to the quarterback.<\/p>\n<h2>Alex Van Pelt Cautions Rookie Drake Maye for Turnovers<\/h2>\n<p>Several people have outlined the struggles Maye has faced as being part and parcel of being a starting rookie QB. Van Pelt, however, isn\u2019t giving the No. 3 overall pick in 2024 that pass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe turnovers, they have to stop. I mean, there\u2019s no excuses,\u201d said Van Pelt. \u201cWhether you\u2019re a rookie, 10-year player, vet, doesn\u2019t matter. We can\u2019t turn the ball over and expect to win games. So that\u2019s definitely an area of emphasis for us. With Drake, he just continues to develop.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alex Van Pelt: &quot;Drake Continues to Develop.&quot; | Patriots Press Conference\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DzNq39De7Q8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou forget sometimes that he is a rookie. There\u2019s some mistakes that he\u2019ll make just from [lack of] experience\u2026But he continues to develop and does a really nice job. We\u2019ve just got to take care of the football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In seven starts for New England, Maye has been intercepted seven times and has fumbled the ball on five occasions. The rookie has thrown for 1,458 yards with 10 touchdowns under his belt.<\/p>\n<h2>Maye\u2019s Protection Is Top Priority<\/h2>\n<p>Many fans and pundits have been shocked that Maye hasn\u2019t been running the ball often enough as he used to do at North Carolina. During the press conference, Van Pelt highlighted that plays have been designed for Maye to take off with the ball but haven\u2019t been called.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_687090\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-687090\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-687090\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-scaled.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-1536x999.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-2048x1331.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-646x420.jpg 646w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-1292x840.jpg 1292w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-696x452.jpg 696w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-1392x905.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-1068x694.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/statico.profootballnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/27135624\/drake-maye-injury-1920x1248.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Drake Maye Injury Update: Patriots QB Exits Game vs. Jets After Big Hit\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1664\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-687090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oct 27, 2024; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (10) runs the ball for a touchdown against the\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0in the first quarter at Gillette Stadium.
