House has a very scientific approach coupled with great understanding of the intangibles that make athletes great. The latter -- what House calls "the hard part" -- Mac already has under his belt, he says. The physical improvement apparently is just a matter of putting the work in. Interesting how he noted a player Mac's age has years to go before maturing physically.
Exactly. Not saying that Jones will even come close to Brady, but this is the Brady setup. Intangibles, like dedication, nuance, competitive edge, are hard to teach, if not impossible, by this point. If a QB doesn't have those elements by the time they're drafted into the NFL, their likelihood of success plummets.
Brady had those intangibles PLUS the undeveloped body, just like Mac. Strength can be built. Experience can be gained.
There have been plenty of guys with phenomenal physical skills, but their intangibles were awful. JaMarcus Russell being a big (literally) one. Ryan Leaf another.
