Sorry that was maybe a message box which should have been deleted. I agree with your point. Thanks for showing. Yeah looks like #1's don't completely flame out usually

All good. I just didn't fully understand your question

OK so Mac isn't going to get the Mahomes treatment. Straight into the fire. If any of the rookie QBs can do it, it would be a kid like this who is very hard working, learns fast, avoids repeat mistakes, processes information quickly and was trained by pro coordinators in Sarkisian and others. Hoping for the best but not expecting anything close to a ring this year, and nobody should put unreasonable expectations on the kid.

Here's Sarkisian (former Falcons OC) talking about why Mac could be more pro ready than people thought at the draft.

At the minute18:00-36:00 mark. In-depth film review of specific plays and Mac draws up what's happening with commentary by Steve Sarkisian. At minute 48:00 Sarkisian talks about how Mac benefitted from Sark being the Falcons OC for 2 years before going to Alabama and learned pro/rpo concepts and how to study/train.
