I think it's 50/50, even Brady got sacked on 9% of his dropbacks in 2001, Mac is at 4.8% right now. So Brady must have been getting hit a good amount too.He wasn’t as bad as the stats line would say he got a guy in his face everytime he throws. Now, how much is it the OL playing like crap or Mac screwing up the protection?
Which is why I didn't say "GOAT 2.0" or "lead the Pats to multiple Super Bowls" or whatever. Just that he's good enough that they're not actively looking for someone better.Mac is "the guy", but he's Mac, not TB12 or anyone else. Athletically and skill wise he looks like Tony Eason, but with toughness and swagger. Also reminds me of Chad Pennington.
What is remarkably well?Very confident. His O line has been crap yet he’s performed remarkably well. Fix the line, get Jonnu’s head right and he’ll be just fine.
The line is better now than it was then. As bad as the line seems to look, its better than it was 2 years ago. A rook or a first year starter take more hits and sacks, its the natural progression. A QB does a lot of things that do not get noticed that make the Oline seem better.I think it's 50/50, even Brady got sacked on 9% of his dropbacks in 2001, Mac is at 4.8% right now.

AmenStephenson needs to play
I dont know about that. Mac has a close to league low of 1.3 seconds from snap to pressure. Right now they might be better off putting blocking pads out there. At least they have to run around those.The line is better now than it was then. As bad as the line seems to look, its better than it was 2 years ago.

Mac is that dude. Shore up the OL, trade for Waddle, Smith & Najee and we’re set.
Mac Jones is literally the one bright spot over the past 3 weeks, forget the box score and just look at how he’s played despite the struggles, and I’m legitimately concerned that if he continues to get as shell shocked as he has been the team is gonna destroy him like Sam Darnold.
Lawrence is on pace for 38 interceptions.Disagree, Lawrence is easily better.
You wouldn't trade Mac for Lawrence if they called and offered??? I don't believe that.
Based on the number of hits he’s taken, the pressure he’s seen and lack of support he’s gotten from some of his targets, he’s performed remarkably well for only having played 3 NFL games.What is remarkably well?
