PFT: Belichick sees Dramatic Improvement in Mac

[Bill Lee]

Which is arguably the most valuable coaching Brady ever received.

Right from the GOAT's mouth:

 

[Pats2000]

I've seen film of Mac making tight throws against man coverage...it's not as if he doesn't have the ability to play against man.

I'm not saying he doesn't. He needs to make that leap, he just wasn't anywhere near as good against man last year. Whether that was Mac not recognizing NFL open or receivers not being able to get open, or some combination of the two. I'm hoping Mac makes a leap against recognizing how to play man better this year.

Not saying you are wrong, but what is your evidence that the Pats underperformed vs man coverage last year?

 

[scott99]

Didn’t read all the responses. It’s nice to hear about the progress of Mac Jones, but not gonna get excited until I see it on the field. I think he’s going to be better than his rookie year, but have to wait and see.

This breakdown has his stats against man and zone. I'm not saying its all Mac, but there was a distinct difference in his stats when playing man. I also don't agree with everything in the video about stability, etc. But he does make a point about how he plays vs man.

@ashley1992 what did you find confusing about this post? I can explain it differently and maybe you’ll get “un-confused.”

Lol, my fault Kontra, I meant to put "Agree" which is right next to "confused"

Why do you come on another team’s board to troll?

A little more verbiage via Reiss. Some of you may want to take a cold shower before reading...

"We're just a lot further ahead in the conversation [offensively]," Belichick said. "The plays that we talk about, or concepts we talk about, Mac has already done it before. It's easy for him to say, 'Are we going to do this on that? Are we going to do this on something else? What do you think about splitting them a little bit wider? Splitting them a little bit tighter.' Suggestions like that.

"And we have a much better feel for what he can do, what his strengths are, and how to try to play into those. He's self-aware, too. He knows what he does well. We want to try to feature those."

New England Patriots' Mac Jones made 'tremendous strides' during NFL offseason, Bill Belichick says

Patriots coach Bill Belichick said quarterback Mac Jones has "made tremendous strides" coming off his rookie season and is "starting from a much, much higher point this year."

I took your advice...but it didn't work. Went from 6 to midnight!

More importantly, QB rankings based off what?

The Crawhammer ranking?

Life is bleak, let’s cut ourselves and listen to Depeche Mode?

And lol at Lamar Jackson at 10th best…

Damn good spot for a 2nd year QB, a lot higher than Josh Allen was his 2nd year unless you've suffered amnesia and forgot about his first couple horrid years in the league before he developed into the elite QB he is today

Yeah Mac needs someone who can beat man coverage; latter day Brady here had Gronk and Edelman who were uncoverable. He can also help himself with Agholor and Thornton if his deep ball accuracy has really improved...

It's an honest ranking. Why are you always crying?

More importantly, QB rankings based off what?

Best to worst quarterback heading into the season.

And lol at Lamar Jackson at 10th best…

37-12. NFL MVP. TD% of 6.3%. 98.1 passer rating. 6 yards per rushing attempt. What's the problem? He in fact is of the more likely to move up the rankings.

Allen wasn't "horrid" in his second season. He accounted for 29 TDs (9 rushing). Right now, he's a beast, hence the top spot heading into the season. Allen and Mahomes are debatable for the top spot but they're above everyone else.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Mac has the right attitude, work ethic and is going to be a fine QB, but it all comes down to the players surrounding him. I look forward to seeing how he and Parker mesh. Hoping that Thornton's speed is noticed in camp.

Stafford is waaaay too low. Should be top 5 minimum. Watson, who hasn't played in over a year, is too high.

Josh Allen sucked until he got a top flight receiver. If he played in NE, he would still be putting up those same horrible numbers.

So are you old enough to remember Scott Norwood or is last year your most painful memory as a sports fan?
