How confident are you that Jones is "the guy"?

[ctpatsfan77]

Now that September is over . . . How confident are you that Mac Jones has the talent to lead this team for the next five years? [Obviously, I would love for it to be longer, but I'll take five years for now.]

Please note that this is intended to be purely a question of what Jones has shown in terms of his physical and mental abilities.

So far, I'd rate him an 8—he's been everything I expected, and some (but not all) of what I hoped.

Looks more of "the guy" than Lawrence, Wilson or Fields - Lance we may never find out.

Anyone thinking Mac Jones was the wrong pick go watch Justin Fields vs the Browns today. Mac might be 3-0 if he had an elite WR like Allen Robinson or a better OC

I don't think I can have any amount of confidence that he either is or isn't the guy after just 3 games. I'm not even sure we would necessarily have our definitive answer after 3 years.

The Browns are the best team in the AFCN.

I think he’s fine, but he needs better talent around him. I won’t hold my breath on that happening. This isn’t pre fantasy football where you can dink and dunk to 14 play drives, shorten games and expect to win many games.

 

[Grogan14]

Not confident. From the minute he was picked he has been inexcusably over rated. He will be an average NFL QB

That isn’t the question.

Way too soon to judge either way. We might not even know for sure next year.

Plenty of first rounders have flamed out.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

His deep ball needs a little work, but that could change with better protection and receivers

About where I started on Jones. But I feel way worse about the rest of the team and the coaching.

 

[ashley]

Nothing I've seen from Jones has told me that he can't get the job done and won't be a really good qb....a little blocking from our O-Line will surely help as well

 

[slam]

On this scale, 6.5 but I voted 7-8.

True, but it's not too early to have an opinion.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'm still very bullish on Mac. This game changes nothing. I expected 3 INT games. Quite frankly he didn't get a lot of help.

Ask me end of next year.

 

[condon84]

Unfortunately, a lot of young QBs success are tied to how well their OCs set them up for success/failure. Mac has shown potential, but McD hasn't helped.

 

[sb1]

True, but it's not too early to have an opinion.

True. Need to see more though. I still think he’s got the reins on him no matter what anyone is saying. I think there’s a lot to be excited about at least.

I think they got the right rookie out of the group. Best fit for this system.

 

[Kontradiction]

He’s fine. He shouldn’t be throwing the ball 51 times at this point.

 

[sb1]

He’s fine. He shouldn’t be throwing the ball 51 times at this point.

Or the team’s leading rusher.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Disagree, Lawrence is easily better.

You wouldn't trade Mac for Lawrence if they called and offered??? I don't believe that.
