He was trying too. I think the point in Matty P and Judge was that they could continue what Josh did since they had first hand knowledge and Bill's trust but Mac and several WRs never trusted them and never gave them a chance. Bill should have found a better solution but Mac should have handled it better too.
Pennington was good until he got hurt.
Pre injury Pennington was what I thought would be Mac's absolute ceiling. Not the most physically gifted but made up for it with anticipation and efficiency.
Of which I agree.
Chad was a gamer, and I dare say, a winner, except for his misfortune of being a JETE. He made the team better, they won more games than they would have otherwise. He also had a pair of balls. Mac can do none of these things, quite the opposite,imo.
I thought if Mac maxed out his ability he would be a pre-injury Pennington which would be more than enough to win games and compete in the playoffs. I figured he would likely be an Andy Dalton type quarterback but he even managed to fall short of that.
That's how I remember him. He didn't have a strong arm to begin with and then he hurt it.
This ^ he was very good, then hurt the shoulder on his throwing arm and lost velocity. Then he became a dinker and dunker.
I'm glad you two have put aside your differences and come together. Sadly, that makes both of you wrong.
Definitely had a below average arm coming into the league and that injury basically zapped him of what he did have. He did end up having a minor rebound that first year in Miami but was kind of shielded by that Wildcat offense.
Oh yeah, the wildcat. I think Bill the defensive guru had trouble with that.
Didn't they wait till week 3 or 4 for our first game against them to break that thing out? I remember that game because not only did our defense not know what to do most of the time even when they were in position to make a play they couldn't tackle. 2008 was the end for that Dynasty 1.0 defensive era. Seymour, Vrabel, Rodney, and Bruschi's last year along with that patchwork secondary. That was an aging defense that was nowhere near nimble enough to keep up with all the motion and trick plays.
He made his adjustments and shut it down in Miami.
Then the team that drafted him in the first round is a laughing stock.
What's that make the 49ers, a bigger laughingstock? for not only drafting Trey Lance (1 good season at NORTH DAKOTA STATE) 12 spots ahead of Jones but trading up to do so?
They certainly ****ed that pick up.
