Mac working out with receivers in Tampa

[Kasmir]

Agree w/ most of your points. To me though, it's the clutchness factor that's the biggest difference between those that become "the guy" and the rest. Too early to tell, but I haven't seen it yet.

Not sure why but Bama doesn't have the best record of producing SB caliber QBs (last one picked 54 yrs ago).

BB tried to match the Steelers offer but Gunner decided to leave. My guess is that the Steelers promised him a real shot at being a receiver.

Might be a good move by Gunner if the Steelers will play him. If BB thought he was significant, he would have paid a bit more. BB has had some questionable drafts, but he is exceptional at identifying talent after the players have been in the league for a few years. I really like Gunner and his story, but I think we can do a lot better in the slot.

He's either trolling Team Mac or he's just computer illiterate...

My point wasn't about Harry at all but rather as you say, these 1st rounders cost too much to move on from, so you're invested at least 4 years w/ them (though not all teams adhere to this , i.e. Rosen in ARI).

We could easily see a QB that's good enough to back into the playoffs but go no further. That'll put the Pats every year at the lower 3rd of the draft, stuck w/ not being a contender but not bad enough to have a chance at a future low pick for a QB. This is a position that most NFL teams were in while the Pats coasted w/o this concern for 20 years.

This season will tell us a lot more about his future potential but I can see why so many want to surround him w/ top talent, to both ensure his success but also so we can see his potential.

If there was someone behind Harry who needed to get on the field, they would have cut bait. There wasn't. And he provided value last year, albeit nowhere near where you'd expect for a 1st round wr...blocking, yeesh.

Yes, I'm a homer. I root for my team and the players on the team. I don't switch to Tampa.

Here is my take from a stat. According to the "Boston Sports Info" Twitter account, the Patriots have converted just 13 of their last 41 third-down attempts (31.7 percent conversion rate) dating back to their game against the Jets. In that contest, they converted their first four third downs before their struggles began.
Has Mac got the tools on 3rd down yet, aka (BINKY)? In my opinion no. Sorry, Myers ain't it. I thought Gunner would be it but he's gone now.

This doesn't sound right. The exact numbers and quote are from an article in 2019, so I'm guessing that doesn't apply to this past year. They were 7th in the league overall this year (with their highest 3rd down conversion rate since 2016 per teamrankings.com), with Jakobi tied for 10th on catches on 3rd down that resulted in a 1st down. The only players higher than he: Jefferson, Tyreek, Kupp, Allen, Cooks, DAdams, Waddle, Diggs and MEvans, so he's in good company. Actually, looking at recent 3rd down conversions, they haven't been horrible except that 2nd Bills game. I think Agholor's concussion in the 3rd quarter of the Colts game really screwed up that following Bills game since we had N'Keal in there instead. Really would've liked to have seen Wilkerson for that game (as well as the Fins and Bills3 game - not that the Pats would've won but just maybe they'd be more competitive).

Colts: 6-15
Bills2: 1-10
Jax: 8-10
Fins: 5-10

Bills3: 7-14

Patriots have been unusually cold on third downs in recent weeks

The New England Patriots offense hasn’t been quite as sharp in 2019 as it has been in recent seasons. There are quite a few reasons for this. The offensive line is banged-up, the receiving corps is lacking weapons, and the run game hasn’t been able to get going. These problems have definitely...

Edit: The timeline of that 3rd down slump in 2019 lines up exactly with Sanu's arrival, as his first game (53% off snaps) was after that aforementioned Jets game.

Lol at citing 2019 stats and applying them to the 2021 team.

Luckily Mac is better than the piece of human garbage that was the Pats QB in 2019...

Not sure why you go there, do you think 2019 stats are a good way to evaluate the 2021 offense?

I was being sarcastic and apparently unfunny, hence the winky guy.

Texas, Alabama, Georgia.

Jacksonville? He is from there.

Your boy Brady practiced in California.

Cam could have played better.

He had nothing at TE and Myers, Byrd and Harry at WR. Pile of 3hit.

I saw earlier that Mitch Trubisky also invited his Steelers WRs to come work out in Florida and one of them (Diontae Johnson) said no and joined Mac Jones and the Pats crew instead lmao.

Mason Rudolph, Diontae Johnson pass on Mitch Trubisky's invite

Mason Rudolph wasn’t seen in Florida hanging out with new teammate Mitch Trubisky.
