Draft Mac jones

[CarolinaNCSU]

I'm almost to the point where I don't trust many QBs from the typical college powerhouses. Obviously there's a few exceptions to the rule, but going from an elite OL, elite weapons who get 5+ yards of separation with regularity, elite running games, and elite defenses to a lack of essentially all of that creates one helluva learning curve.  Saw it with Tua this year, waiting on guys to get open instead of anticipating the throw. Some of the same with Jalen Hurts.  Their mobility helps...which Mac Jones has little to none of. 

I just don't see a single thing about Mac Jones that's elite.  His accuracy is his best quality, but even with that, he's been throwing to Devonta Smith with 10 yards of separation instead of throwing to a WR who's yet to make a cut.  Could be great, sure, but it would be about the most milquetoast pick imaginable even in the 2nd.

He is almost as much of a question mark as Lance to me. Can Lance play that well against better competition? Can Jones play they well with lesser talent and against teams that may have better players than his? I think they both are a risk, Lance just has the higher ceiling with his athletic ability.

Do you really think the Senior Bowl is going to boost his draft stock up so high that we’ll be lucky to have him at #8, when the National Championship he played great in didn’t even do that for him? 
 

One of many comments in this post that has me scratching my head... 
 

He was a very good college QB, but who knows what he’ll be in the NFL. If you think him producing at Alabama makes him “safer” than Trey Lance then sure but I trust Rhule and his staff with a guy like Lance who has a ton of talent and made very few mistakes in college.

Whoever we get we need Kyle pitts with the 8th pick having him to open up the middle is huge no lb can cover him. It’s hard to turn down the best TE to come out in 15 years. I could also get behind using this draft to set up next years and trade down build the lines up and get more draft caps for next year in the process

No. I was paying no attention to QBs in that draft class.

I’m not trying to knock Mac Jones...honest question here...what traits/skills does he have that stand out from the pack? 

The ability to be a solid pocket passer , big arm and accurate gets rid of the ball quick , he has better smarts .

Big arm? LOL

[Soul Rebel]

• Leatherwood-Dickerson-Brown in the trenches
• Devonta and Waddle at WR
• Najee Harris at RB
• Top notch SEC Defense 
• Not overly mobile with a mediocre-at-best arm

And oh yeah......

Hard pass.

It’s a pipe dream of getting Stafford or Watson , they don’t want to come to the panthers and I don’t blame them , they want big money and want to win they won’t find that here . 
 

we won’t be getting Lawrence , fields or Wilson which is a blessing in disguise because I don’t see any of them as great nfl players . That brings the question of tre lance ?!

tre lance will be good or really bad , screw that we can’t take a risk man , 

this brings us to Mac jones which we will be lucky if he’s still available when we pick because he will shoot up the boards after a solid senior bowl , he’s smart , he’s tall , accurate and has a good deep ball . Bro we need a pocket passer something better than jake , I’m sick of these short passers and mobile qbs they never win , the people that win are pocket passers and that’s Mac jones . 
 

tua went early because of his big games despite him having worse numbers than Mac jones and despite him being hurt , Mac bones is being underrated people why don’t you understand that ? 
 

oh but beer Mac jones has all the weapons? Yes he does but so did tua but was devonta smith the headman with that bummer tua no? Dude this guy is a good passer . 

It has already been reported that Watson would consider the Panthers, so...
