It’s fake as in nothing posted on it has any bearing on reality. Just a bunch of random crap. There were a couple threads on here a few months back posting tweets from that account with some kind of big news that wound up being just blatantly wrong.

Also, that tweeter account and the initial post on this thread are two different things. The initial post website is what quoted Person. That tweet didn’t quote anyone it just threw out there randomly with no source attached that we’re high on Jones — the opposite of Person’s quote.

Mac Jones is pretty high on Jenny Craig’s board.

Mac Jones has signed an exclusive endorsement with nutrisystem. 
 

he is also considering an endorsement deal with Ecko Since they are the only brand that makes 6xl shirts

When the Huddle starts talking about smokescreens, that's my cue to take a break.

Based on what I've seen and the scouting reports I've read he's my favourite QB in this Draft (closely followed by Wilson [his footwork is a mess]).

He fits really well into what our offence does (short - intermediate throws stretching the field laterally with the occasional shot play to keep the defence honest) - but obviously because Lawrence / Wilson / Fields / Lance are much more athletic than him, the actual QB basics that Jones does exceptionally well are being overlooked. 

If he pans out (which is always difficult to predict), I think worse case scenario is that he's Kirk Cousins. I'd take that.

Very limited QB. Can succeed within a system that allows it. A better Andy Dalton.

WTH Mac Jones to Falcons at 4, has he brain washed everyone or has is everyone listening to Nick Sabin. This some bullish!t!

I’d hate to see Mac go to the jets. New jersey is such a small state if he moved there he could tip it over.

Beauty is literally in the eye of the beholder. There isn't a perfect QB prospect in the Draft. For me:

Lawrence

• + athleticism / plus arm / plus mobility / starting experience / unscripted plays
• - missed reads / inaccuracy (worryingly so at times)

Fields

• + athleticism / plus arm / plus mobility / unscripted plays
• - missed reads / v. simple OSU offence (don't teach a lot of concepts you see in the NFL)

Wilson

• + plus arm (incl. ability to throw from multiple angles) / mobility / plus accuracy / unscripted plays
• - awful footwork

Jones

• + Pro ready / good reads / accuracy
• - average NFL arm / pocket passer / surrounding talent

Lance

• + athleticism / plus arm / plus mobility / running ability
• - glaring missed reads / footwork (which got worse in 2020) / surrounding talent / inexperience

 

So it literally all depends on what you're looking for in a QB - 4 of the 5 guys can literally play in any system you want. With Jones he's system specific, but that's not a bad thing.

I wouldn't want to start Lance, Fields or Wilson in Year 1. They're all going to have huge technical / mental things to work on. Of those 3 I'd be most comfortable starting Wilson as a rookie, but his footwork is baaaaad (I finally put my finger on why I'm not overly sold on him!).

Mac Jones stopped by Burger King on his way home from the National Championship game. He pulled up to the drive thru and said “I’ll take it!!”
