Oh no, the dreaded non-contact knee injury.

Honestly, I'm just not seeing anything impressive from him. He has all day to throw and the best weapon in college football to throw to. Devonta Smith is doing all the lifting.

Smith is a beast thats for sure, I just think that Jones has executed very well.

If we take Mac Jones at 8, it's not terrible. He's just a traditional style QB but he looks like he would fit our offense. 

It is absolutely a terrible pick. Watch the TD again, Smith slows up a little, catches it and then burns again. Not a bad throw, but he's got all the time and even when pressured a little bit, Harris was wide open made a great adjustment and then scored. I don't think Jones is bad, but his OL and weapons are great. I haven't seen anything tonight that is 8 special.

Dude's mobility is suspect! He doesn't have to face much adversity with almost squeaky clean pockets and large windows to throw to. This will not be his experience in the NFL!

The ability to run does not equal "mobility"

watching a bunch of people try and run narrative control on their confirmation bias when he's having the kind of game he's having has been a laugh fest

 

Florida sucks

Honestly, I just don't think a lot of fans can watch a game and separate the outcome of a play from the execution of a play.

Several of these screen passes have required borderline circus catches. When he isn't set in a clean pocket he's not accurate.

12 Rec, 215 yards , 3 TDs for Smith and not even halftime. 
 

Smith and Bama are on pace to make the ass kicking LSU put on Clemson look pedestrian

Squeaky clean pockets and wide open windows will change the day he sets foot on an NFL field, and that's a fact! 

I'm not saying that you shouldn't give the kid a look. But what I am saying is that you don't reach for him in the first!

Jones might not have any elite attributes, but watching the Film Room broadcast of the game. He reads the field well and processes information quickly. On that last TD pass, as soon as the safety committed to the right side of the field, he released the ball to left side deep for Smith TD.

Exactly! You saw him fumble it away when the rush came. He couldn't slide away from it, or run away from it!
