While I agree, I’m confident Mac is an excellent fit in NE. He sat behind two QBs at Alabama. He isn’t a golden child who’s been foreseen to be the greatest since age 14. BB wants an accurate, humble, hard worker / studier. Mac gives him that.Yeah exactly. Imagine Lawrence here with BB as his coach. It's so hard to compare numbers when they're in totally different situations.
Fields too.
I think we can say now that the projection for Mac as the most polished and NFL ready out of the rookie QBs was accurate.
I'm not ready to say Mac is gonna be a top 10 QB someday but one step at a time.
You might be surprised to hear these stats but Mac Jones is handily outperforming Lawrence so far in their rookie year.Lawrence is still better. But I doubt the other three will be as good.
Oh damn, so you haven't seen that strip sack fumble touchdown to open the half yet?
BTW- one of the most vocal guys who wanted to release Brandon Bolden because I thought he was redundant on ST's, I loudly RENOUNCE my erroneous position I was flat out WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!
Same. I have never been the biggest White fan but he was running better than I had ever seen him and then went down on a play that didn't even seem violent. Rough.I love Brandon Bolden this game. I miss James White every game.

Mac Jones 1996 yards 9 tds 6 int QBR 52.6.
Trevor Lawrence 1703 yards 8 tds 9 int QBR 34.7.
Of Course Mac doesn't come off as 'sexy' or as exciting so it's easy to underestimate him.
In fact even if Mac Jones finishes the year as the #1 QB in his draft class in terms of production, which I think will happen at their current pace, I expect OROY to goto WR Ja'marr Chase instead cos he's 'sexier'.
Obviously Chase's 8 catch 201 yard performance as a rookie will have the mediots salivating over his award chances. And that's what gets votes these days, highlight reel plays, not winning football games with steady, controlled performances.
Raise your hand is you have any confidence that the Broncos, Falcons, or Vikings holding their current leads
Chase is runaway leader for OROY right now. He's actually not far off from being in the conversation for league MVP.You might be surprised to hear these stats but Mac Jones is handily outperforming Lawrence so far in their rookie year.
