Why are you posting such nonsense? First, Brady was a 6th round pick, and was behind Drew Bledsoe, not 2020 Cam Newton. Second, as we saw with Brady (since you referenced him), it's possible that the backup comes in and is an improvement over the original starter. Etc...
The two scenarios could not be any more different. Brady was a 6th round flier taken behind an entrenched starter who signed a big money deal. Mac is a first round pick taken behind a broken down stop gap coming off one of the worst QB seasons in a long time. I know everyone wants to bill Mac Jones as some underdog battling his way up the depth chart but he was drafted at 15. His situation and Brady's have absolutely no correlation.
And that's one of the reasons Luuked's post was so ridiculous.
Yeah if Brady didn't work out in 01 then nobody would have given it a second thought. Mac Jones failing to win the starters job at some point soon over a guy who can't throw would be a catastrophic failure and imo would probably lead to BB's exit.
I wish someone made this point over and over for the last few months lol.
To me, if Cam wins (or "wins") the starting job, any time after week 4 should be in play, as far as a switch goes. But, if Cam wins/"wins" the starting job, I don't want Jones to somehow end up under center against the Bucs.
there's only three people that listen to that show. that's ken laird's mom, chris curtis' mom and ben volin's mom and there's a reason for that. laird's a steelers fan, volin's a dolphins fan and curtis is a dink. nobody buys their bullcrap
Something about OTAs having a team-building costume ball event.
...m?
It's not nonsense. Go look at the HOF QB thread ice has up almost all of them sat a year. That no pressure year to get NFL ready is huge for a QB it used to be the standard for almost every rookie. Besides Payton, who was awful his rookie year, and Big Ben, who was a game manager at best, if you want to maximize value of a QB you need to give them time to learn the offense and get in NFL shape. I agree that sitting Jones for a year is more valuable for the long term health of the franchise and would rather have another middling year with Cam then risk Mac being thrown into the fire too soon and getting shell shocked. Now I trust BB to make the judgement call of when Mac is ready so if he does switch it up midseason I wont be too upset but I am mentally prepared to see Cam for 17+ games this season.
Yes, it's nonsense. And that's being kind to it.
Cuz you said so right? Got anything to back up that opinion like idk 95% of HOF Qbs sat a year or more?
