Mac Jones has started 13 games, and won 9.
A fun fact: The other five rookie QBs that have started have collectively started 39 games. They've only won 6. [Lawrence 2–11, Wilson 2–7, Lance 0–1, Fields 2–7, and Mills 0–7.]
Here's my question: do you think any of those QBs would get the Patriots to 9–4? Conversely, if Mac Jones were on the other teams, how would they do? [Assume, for the sake of argument, that it's just a swap of the players; e.g., for Lawrence, somehow Jones goes #1 overall while Lawrence falls to Nike at #15.]
Personally, I don't think any of the other rookies would have a 9–4 record, though I do think Lawrence, at least, would have a winning record. I'm also convinced that Lance was too raw to win the starting job right away.
Conversely, I don't think Mac alone would get any of those other teams over .500, but I think he'd probably have more than two wins on the JEST, Texans, Jaguars, or Bears. As for the 49ers, it'd be interesting to see if he could beat out Garoppolo. I think he'd have had a chance, but it wouldn't be a definite thing.
