Draft Mac jones

[Captain Obvious]

would rather have bridgewater to be honest, and I hate teddy as a qb

[GOAT]

I have a good feeling about Mac Jones. Not sure if I want to be the team that takes the risk, but I would definitely be kicking myself if he pans out.

Not going to say any names, but he reminds me of a poor mans version of a QB playing next Sunday.

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. 

Really gotta pay attention to the traits with the QBs coming from powerhouses. Lawrence has elite traits. He has a good arm, good mobility and athleticism, prototype size. It's obvious why he's an elite prospect. Fields has elite traits. He has the arm. He has the athleticism. He has good size. If he was more consistent he'd be locked in as the #2 QB. Jones just doesn't fit. He put up great stats. But when you single him out and specifically watch him instead if watching the game and the result, you're left pretty unimpressed. Pretty much everyone is in agreement that Trask isn't a very good NFL prospect but I'd bet money he would've out up very similar videogame stats.

People pooed me last year when I said we should get Herbert too

He’s not athletic I get it neither is Brady , he is solid in the pocket and makes good decisions regardless how good his weapons on . He turned devonta smith from a first round pick to a heisman trophy winner . It’s not all devonta he throws receivers open and he is a pocket passer a true pocket passer .

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

Intelligent guy. Makes good decisions! Good size, strong arm, accurate--seemingly the quintessential pocket passer. 

But, isn't nearly as mobile as today's younger franchise QBs. Questions about how he can handle defensive pressure because his pockets were pretty damned clean at Bama!

What was the name of your old account? This one says you joined in November of 2020 so this account missed the last draft.

He is average at best. Solid starter, but can’t put the team on his back.

LOL!  Smith only came about 250 yards shy of Jones' passing totals in 2019 (1256 vs. 1503) and they both had 14 TDs. Smith was already putting up very good stats before Jones became the entrenched starter this year.

Arm strength? Seriously?

He was throwing to wide open receivers in college, he doesn’t have the arm to throw deep in the NFL

And he was hitting them every single time . How many times we seen our previous qb’s miss wide open guys esp deep ? 77percent completion rate is ridiculous idc if they wide open or not . In the Sec at that . It may not look sexy but the guy made plays every time he was asked too .
