Im not seeing what other Patriots fans are seeing.
Mac looks slow, tentative and there isnt that much velocity on the ball. Yesterday, Mac threw a couple of wounded ducks that will be INTs if those risky throws continue.
To get a true and accurate picture, I want to see an opposing defense stop or slow down the NE run game to force Mac to win the game. Or, the opposing offense, jumping out to a lead by a couple of scores lead thereby forcing NE into throwing to get back in the game.
I do not own rose colored glasses and do not wish to borrow yours.
He's trolling now and is gone from this thread.

Good points though if you rank them by performance (Mac - Zach - Trevor) you've also ranked them by how bad the guys around them are. We've huffed and puffed about the Pats roster the past couple years but the stink of the Jags is on another level, which is truly mind-boggling when you consider they just played the Pats tight in the AFCCG 3-ish years ago.Jones only threw one pass that could have been intercepted. I didn't see any wounded ducks. Sorry, but I think you are seeing what you want to see.
From Peter Kings' Monday column today (not that King is the be all and end all on this stuff and probably far from it, but he is an unbiased observer):
New England QB Mac Jones. Good for a debut, for sure, with only one turnover-worthy play in 75 snaps. The yards-per-attempt, 7.9, is big time.
• Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence. A mixed bag, but not good overall. Only 59.6 percent of throws were catchable, and he had four turnover-worthy plays.
Jets QB Zach Wilson. A nice debut overall, though he didn’t get much help with six sacks taken and pressured consistently. He did hold the ball too long a few times, including a bizarre 9.22-second hold just trying to make something happen. Three big-time throws (a PFF stat), three turnover-worthy plays, five drops.

The only starter left on that defense is Jack. The rest are gone.Good points though if you rank them by performance (Mac - Zach - Trevor) you've also ranked them by how bad the guys around them are.

And supposedly the team is already turning on Urban Meyer after only one game. The Jags are primed for an epic implosion.Good points though if you rank them by performance (Mac - Zach - Trevor) you've also ranked them by how bad the guys around them are.

It'll be tough to have another Brady/Manning type rivalry in football.Obviously going off one game you have to say Mac but we really obviously won't know. I kinda hope they both end up being top QBs for a long time, I really miss the QB rivalry of Brady and Manning and though nothing will ever come close I'm hoping we can get a bit of a rivalry between these two
Saying the same thing over and over doesn't make it more true.Patriots have 2 TEs but the oc has no idea how to use both at the same time.
Zac took 6 sacks.
Mac took 9 hits.
Expect a lot of blitzing on both sides.
Mac destroyed blitzes this week but his body may not hold up all year taking all these hits.

What a load of sh.tYou're asking the wrong person. I've been calling for Mac since last October and think he's the second coming. Taking him as the 5th QB at #15 without trading up at all is just icing on the cake.
So value for your dollar? It's only week 1, but yes... I agree. At 15, NE as of now has won.
Can we trade Josh to the Jets? PleaseZac took 6 sacks.
