Mac was officially measured at 6’2 5/8, which is over 6’2 and 1/2. Aaron Rodgers is 6’2”, Mahomes is 6’2”. I’m not worried about Mac’s size, and I’ve seen him get crushed on sacks, he’s one tough kid.I don't believe that his work ethic will be a determining factor of any future success here as much as his physical limitations - lack of ideal height (an overlooked asset in Brady's overall greatness) and likely insufficient Foxboro-in-January arm strength - might be...
Also as far as arm strength, he’s got a good arm, he just doesn’t have a cannon like some of the big armed QBs, but he’s got a good arm. Definitely above average. There is plenty of tape of him throwing 50+ yards in the air (I don’t mean catch & run). He also was at 55% on passes traveling 20+ yards.
I’m not saying he’s going to be a great QB, or not become a great QB. I have no clue what’s going to happen. But I really love Mac’s skill set, his self confidence, his never say die attitude, he has that internal self motivation that is very Brady like. He has incredible accuracy, I’ve watched a lot of his games, some of those throws were just perfect, right on target where only his receiver can get it. It’s uncanny how he puts it in the right spot perfectly.
What’s great about Belichick is, his coaching style is, don’t tell me about what a player CANNOT do, tell me what he is good at, and he’ll maximize that skill set. Jones couldn’t have landed in a better spot.
