Just saying, the Jets have a type. Maybe third time's the charm though. unsurprisingly mission is correct tbh wilson, jones, not it. trey lance could be it. lawrence, fields, they're both it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Lawrence is going to hit but probably wont live up to the hype. Zack Wilson will bust tbh. I don't know what to think about Lance. The guy is talented and landed in a good spot but he's started one game in 18 months? 50/50 Fields is the total package, but its the Bears, so we'll see. If he hits he's probably the best player from this draft. I expect Mac Jones to be successful in New England, but that may be in a more limited role than these other guys, at least initially 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He landed on a good team in an offense that is tailor made for his skill set and with a bunch of fresh new weapons. He's not going to be Patrick Mahomes. He's not a playmaker. But I still think you can win in the NFL with a quarterback who is more Chris Paul, less James Harden. The Bucs did last year. The 49ers almost did the year before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Mac Jones to New England some see as a great fit. Personally, I think it's hilarious that he's going to a team with 1/10th the weapons at his disposal that he had in college, and I'm going to thoroughly enjoy watching him mentally implode with frustration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely curious If this is Mac Jones out getting drunk the night before a game, ok, that matters. But I doubt Saban would've put up with that ****. He would've just benched Mac and put in Bryce Young. If its just Mac Jones partying during the offseason with his friends, then what's wrong with that? Are NFL players not supposed to drink or party at all? Because I don't think they got the memo https://www.insider.com/video-tom-brady-drunk-avocado-tequila-boat-parade-2021-2 I think in light of Mac's previous history of drinking related issues, it's potentially cause for concern. Am I correct @Forge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear with Mac Jones I get a Ken Dorsey feel.

Am I correct @Forge? I've heard about 1 DUI, are there other incidents? Just hadn't heard that leading up to the draft probably because I'm not really paying attention tbh Not defending it, but 1 DUI isn't a huge concern for me or indicative of a pattern of problematic drinking. Of course, I drank half a bottle of Johnnie Walker last night, so my views may be more evolved than others 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. I saw something else that was distasteful, but not necessarily drinking related. But again I haven't really been paying much attention. As an expert on problematic drinking the stuff I've seen doesn't even come close and just feels like standard college kid ****. We'll find out soon enough though, this kid shows up late or hungover once and Bill will Kyle Shanahan him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if Fields is not a bust in Chicago. Same with Zach Wilson. Desperate franchises who need the young QBs to be their saviours. Unlikely to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying, the Jets have a type. Maybe third time's the charm though. No, Sam Darnold still made boneheaded throws due to a lack of awareness and isn't nearly as athletic. Zach Wilson's best intangible trait is feeling things around him and having the vision to make the right throw. Darnold all throughout his career has not handled pressure well and completely misses defenders watching him stare down his receiver. Joe Brady is gonna have to hardwire him differently to change those mental mistakes. I have no idea how you are comparing Sanchez to Darnold and Wilson. Nothing alike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
