Yeah he’s been just below league average to me. Not great. The rookies aren’t great or good. 

For sure it's a tough ask for that and we see it league wide atm from the rookies. I always thought the talk around Jones was pretty stupid though saying he couldn't' play and it was all the Bama players otherwise.

He can clearly play you just see all this weird poo these days with people on these extremist takes. There's a way to bring up Jones in relation to the Panthers on if we should have picked him and this OP clearly isn't it.

There's no place behind this OL for any of these rookies and if we had picked one they would just have had to sit.

Mac Jones is playing about how I would expect Mac Jones to play.

He was never nearly as bad as some people on this forum made him out to be.  It took me awhile into the draft process to warm up to him, but the more you watched of him, the more you were impressed by his football IQ and accuracy.

However, the concerns with Mac Jones weren't his floor.  The concerns are his ceiling.  And I still wonder just how good he can be.  Still a lot more to be proven on his end.

He's a non-mobile Alex Smith at best. Which is not what a team should be striving to get when they draft a QB in the first round.

mac has played better than i thought he could. i was not a fan. he did land at one of the best teams form QBs to land, hoyer and his agent have a great story on this. where you land makes a huge deal for QBs... landing with andy reid is another great spot. I also thought Cam would be starting, so Im 0 for 2 here...

The ole---"I say many things and when I appear to be right, I can't handle it."  Nobody endorsed Jones on here more than I did--and I have not made any similar comments.  Reason?  I know it is all a guess and subject to change and interpretation. 

Plus it is too early to tell on anyone new to a team. Lets see what happens this season and evaluate at the end. Things could get better or worse

Non mobile QBs in New England have a pretty good track record.

The ability to get the ball out fast and accurately is more important than being mobile.  Of course,  mobile qb's are easier to find than fast and accurate.  

And I am talking about Brady, not Jones of course.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
