The Third Rider

Competition is too fierce with all those elite wide recivers on the roster, he just can't make the cut.

To me its like any other corporation. It's poor leadership and also not being lucky enough to land a elite QB, although they have had good ones just not enough to carry their teams to championships like Brady, Manning etc.

Fair enough.

Everyone is in a rush to start Mac but he needs time. He struggled when taking over for Cam. https://www.google.com/amp/s/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/06/06/with-cam-newton-out-mac-jones-struggled-and-jarrett-stidham-performed-well/amp/

I mean, not sure what to make of what I have seen. So far a career 22/48 attempts, for 270 yards with 2 TDs and 4 interceptions with a 46.4 QB rating is super underwhelming. Most of that came last year in 5 games, with a pretty terrible supporting cast but he didn't show me anything to think there is untapped talent there.

I don't really get all the Shanahan love here. He is 29-35 in the last 4 years (with a SB loss and 3 losing seasons) while Sean McDermott is 38-26 with 3 playoff appearances.

Is there any reason to believe in him? He has never done anything... He is just someone people put blind faith in just because there was nobody else with a future sitting on the bench. He couldn't even beat out Brian Hoyer.

They stole Justin Fields.

She got 20, then appealed it and got 6 years of home arrest. On the follow up trial her defense was that police department basically framed her so they could become famous along her ex-husband, of course nobody bought her BS and she got 16 years. Her follow up appeal for that verdict got shutdown thankfully. She is quite the nasty piece of work.

Depends on how depth looks, like Mike Onwenu started all 16 games but N'Keal Harry for example started just 5 games (Sony started 8 games and Issah Wynn was just injured in his rookie season and going back to Malcom Brown didn't start any games in his rookie season). The thing is, there is no reason to rush Jones out there unless Cam just plain sucks or is injured.

Bill is set in his ways, I don't see him starting a rookie.

I recently have been watching some criminal psychology breakdowns, some stories can be quite fascinating like this one:

So seems people think we are the favorites to get Julio. Assuming we are not coughing a 1st round pick I will be very happy if we get him. If Bill pulls this off he would get an A+ for the offseason and the draft from me.

Mac Jones has #50 for now.
