coming soon.... (all things Mac Jones)

I liked what I saw from Mac. Excelling at simple passes is what I wanted to see. His use of the running backs is something Cam struggled with last year. Cam will complete a difficult pass down the field and then on the very next play miss on a screen. Screens should be almost automatic. I also like how Mac gave Gunner a shot on 3rd&24 with a well thrown deep ball. That could very well be a catch by someone like Harry etc and Cam refused to just give guys a chance on those 50/50 balls last year and it drove me mad.

I want to see Mac have a few drives like 1st&20 or 2nd&20 to really see the difference between him and Cam. Cam can play well but he falls apart whenever we have a penalty that sets us back a few yards. If Mac plays wells even with penalties then I think he has a chance to unseat Cam.

Definitely not NKeal Harry.

If I wanted your opinion, Drew, I would’ve given it to you. Go sniff some Pinot noir.

(Love you, Drew, but this is Mac’s teams now. You best get out of the way before the train runs you over.)

Definitely not NKeal Harry.

I am basically done with Harry but he does have a pretty large catch radius. If he has any sort of shot at making the team, those are the kind of passes he needs to showcase what made him a 1st round pick in the 1st place.

A 50% catch rate on the guy means his catch radius doesn't mean squat.

Is it that excruciating for Bill to send a little encouragement to Mac in his development? Not everyone will take this kind of "evaluation" as well as Brady did over the years.

Why assume Mac is some snow flake who can't take it?

I hear ya... But at the other end we have clowns like Bim Saleh Bim proclaiming the potential is "through the roof" for Punky after less than 10 pass attempts... Somewhere in the middle, but leaning much more toward Bill's hesitancy, seems more like what I'd do...

You do realize the players and coaches talk in real life too, right? Not just through the media. I am
sure Bill has ample time to tell Mac whatever he wants.

Hell, Gunner's caught deep balls like that In practice.

Why would Belichick stoke the media frenzy when his plan the WHOLE time including now is to start Cam Newton and support Cam as the starter ??? The division from the media and some fans is going to fracture the team.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Step 1 is complete... Next up, I want to see more throws longer down the field, whenever he has the time and as long as the target isn't double-teamed...Guys like Harry, Assyassy, Nixon, Gunner & even Marvin Hall should be having more footballs thrown their way in competitive situations...
They need experience too...

Agreed except Nixon was not at practice today for some reason. He might be gone (temporarily).

He's already unseated Cam. The question is when do you put him in?

Cam is the starter until Jones is better than him, at which point Jones will be the starter. Pretty simple, as of right now Bill doesn’t feel Jones is a better option. Once he does he will let us know.Bill is stating facts, Cam is the starter right nowz

Glad you feel that way. Bill has already made his call. Cam is the QB. We should support the Patriots and the QB. Unless Cam gets hurt or plays horribly for many weeks, the way to support the team is support the starting QB of the Patriots.

"...plays horribly for many weeks." Five weeks, ten weeks, seventeen weeks?

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Quarterbacks should be judged on wins.

newton will implode because he beyond horrible. Somewhere around game six, Jones will get his chance and at that point, it will be his job to string wins together!

I am sorry but you make some really silly posts that almost always are incorrect. Cam is the starter until Bill declares Mac the starter. He has made that very plain in everything he has said. Bill has never once said Cam is the starter all year.

The guy spends 12-16 hours a day in the Patriots complex and .Mac has been waiting the whole time for his personal translator ‚Isaiah Houde‘* to let him know what BB thinks of his performance.

( *by way of nesn transcript‘ so the ‚translator‘ didn’t even make the cut to get in the press room. ).

Thank god Mac now knows what he did wrong with all those practical tips and feedback.

LOL.
