How the hell did we get Mac Jones at 15? I am no football guru, but I watched a ton of Bama football last year , and I saw what we are seeing now. A leader, calm and decisive in the pocket, nice pocket mobility, great accuracy. A prototypical NFL QB. Played great in big games. So much emphasis on his receivers when he did not have Waddle for 3/4 of the season. Jones was the reason that offense sang, not Smith or Harris. It was all there to be seen, and a ton of NFL guys talked themselves out of it. Crazy!
NFL teams have a love affair with "athleticism" and the "mobile QB" of which Mac Jones is neither. But, he has a good arm. Quick release and is a cerebral QB. Which is really what is important.
He's a prototypical old school pocket QB. I just think teams don't put as much stock in that.
