Who has more upside, Mac Jones or Jordan Love

[Ivan]

I’m sorry, who?

Trevor Simiens back up.

Trevor Simiens back up.

I was looking for the AR name again

[Love The Drake]

Hmm. Love who just now maybe ready to start after 3 years on the bench (killing the value of a qb on his rookie deal) or Dugger, a staple on our defense the last few years?

Bro I see the logic but this did not age well.

Kudos to Love for putting it all together. It still took till year 4 to show it. Packers have a great system of taking their time in developing QBs. Time he wouldn’t have had here.

 

[captain stone]

going on a limb and say Jordan Love here

but he does love (pun unintended) throwing on his backfoot.

Just like his predecessor in GB did... Amazing how similar their throwing motions are.

Something in the freezing water of Green bay ahhaha

I say Jordan Love. He has a rocket for an arm extremely mobile, big and strong. He looked very good last night. He has a chance to be this year's Jaylen Hurts.

Pats could have had him in 2020 draft. They had 24th pick and he went 26th. BB (the genius) opted to trade the 24th pick for the 37th and a third rounder. They picked Duggar, who is a good player...BUT not a franchise altering pick like Love could have been.

If they had picked Love, they would not have had to pick Jones in 21 and could have chosen Jalen Phillips or Darisaw.

Its still early, but if you look at them on tape and their physical attributes...Love has a much greater chance to be a true franchise QB.

Easy to do when you have Rodgers all the way through ahead of this year to give him that time. Just glad he panned out, so that Rodgers can’t gloat. I’m assuming, somewhere, he’s probably not happy about that.

Foresight....the word is foresight....

I agree that Love is better than Mac Jones. That's not even an argument in the face of current evidence.

You can also easily make the argument that the Pats passed on Lamar Jackson in 2018 when they should have taken him instead of trading down.

The question we should ask is about the timing and the lack of Dynastic planning by BB.

BB thought he could reclaim a washed up Cam Newton to replace Brady. So that's why he passed on Love?

Newton didn't work out so well because the man didn't even reach 10 passing TDs in 2020 so instead he went for Mac Jones in 2021.

Either way it's just been BB's bad drafting over the past 10 years that puts us in this bad position now.

 

[VJCPatriot]

I have both in my main keeper FFL. Can only keep one. Gonna have make that decision in two weeks. Right now, I am leaning Mac Jones although I think Love's upside FFL-wise could be higher given that he might be an one man show and a volume play. One of them will be my QB2 this year so I am torn between rolling the dice or taking the safe bet (Jones with his accuracy and a better coordinator should give us a line of 4k yards, 28 TDs, and 11 Ints.)

Mac Jones is not the homer pick you want to make if you're interested in winning. Back in the day Gronkowski and Brady were the best homer picks because they actually produced in fantasy leagues. Now I can't think of a single safe Patriot pick I'd take in a FF league if I'm interested in actually winning.

 

[Uptown]

It was always Love.

Are you suggesting that the AT&T actress/spokesmodel can throw a football better than Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe? Ok that one I can almost believe but what's her 40 time?

Yep, that was in August. Ended up not keeping both, but got Love back in a trade around mid-season, LOL! Win win!

As for FF, I try to stay away from AFCE players as much as possible, but always have the Pats D if I can have it.... makes those Sunday pick sixes even sweeter!!!

Wrong, Cam wasn't signed for months after the draft. At the time BB thought he could win with Stidham.

LOL if BB thought that Stidham was 'the guy' that makes it even worse!

Cam, Stids, Hoyer, Mac, Zappe.........................Handpicked & Handcrafted by Belichick

I don't know. At this point Stidham is probably a better quarterback than Mac

Tough to have upside when always on your backside.
