What metric are you using to define Mac Jones as great?

Def. not "great" but here are the rookie QBs right now, he's arguably been the best 2nd best at worst.

lol.

The audacity, the absurdity to think Mac Jones would be able to thrive here in Carolina with our o-line.

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

The Pats have an offense set up for Brady, who is not exactly fleet of foot, so Mac will do nicely there.

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.

This place sucks lately. 

Seriously.

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.
