Hunter2_1 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Mac Jones, for anyone interested, has had classic ascension graph-like camp Started off a bit worrying, defense totally getting to him physically and mentally, but now he's the standout QB (for what it's worth) and is leading first team 11 on 11, putting together scoring drives. Guess that's the most we can and should expect - learn and improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been 3 months and I still cant believe they passed on Fields because they wernt sold on him and wanted to give Lock one more chance. It is absolutly maddening when you look at the talent on that team from the pass rushers, corners, safetys, runningbacks, wide receivers, tight ends---and then you look at the QB and you just pencil in 7 wins and keep moving. I have the worlds smallest drop of faith Lock can pull a Josh Allen type turnaround and flip a switch but man does that team need him to do it....badly. Its like a 5-10% chance and you better hit it or else Justin Fields is going to make you look dumb as hell for a looooong time. If it doesnt happen, then they better throw whatever assets they need to at Watson and deal with the PR nightmare.

But you can play the results game with any prospect. I think the suggestion in his post was that he didn't consider him a "steal" in terms of his prospect evaluation and where he was drafted at the time of the draft (since none of the rookies have played yet in real games, there's nothing but the evals and draft slotting that can be used) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wasn’t huge on Mac, but if you have the thought that he has the upside of a franchise level/top 10-12 QB than I’d say exactly that. Anytime you land a QB outside of the top 5 or so that you view in that tier it’s definitely a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy was clearly super high on him as a prospect, the other wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t think it’s crazy to list a team getting a QB outside of the top 10 that some think could be a long term fixture for a team as a steal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's a number of franchises that have a multi-year waiting list for become a season ticket holder. Good for the Chargers, but it would have been embarrassing if they weren't at the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
