Chargers Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Mac looks the part as far as the safest pick so I'll go Tua, I think he rebounds great this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more than a slight improvement. I think our WR room is bottom 3 in the league, but the TEs will make a huge difference. Gone from THE worst TE situation to one if not the best rooms in the league. OL is top 5 and the RBs are all pretty good. And I'd also say Brady didn't look 'washed' in his final season, he had a very similar season to 2012 or 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led the 3rd highest scoring offense ever at the time, and would have had 40 passing touchdowns if the Patriots didn't run the ball so much from inside the 5. Gronk and Hernandez also missed a combined 11 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brady looked washed with a similar supporting cast in New England and then looked like the best QB in the NFL once he had a stacked team around him. But Mac Jones with a similar set of weapons around him is going to light it up as a rookie? Brady at the start of that season looked like he was going to light the world on fire and then they lost virtually everyone. This offense is not the same remotely. Just at TE, Smith and Henry are light years ahead of the no names we had the last few seasons. Those guys legitimately sucked and were worst in the league level. Meters has developed and would have been a huge asset in 2019. Agholor was added to the team, he is better than pretty much everyone we had in the latter part of that year. Then in the running game Harris completely usurped Michel’s job and is flat out better. You can’t even compare the two offenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that slight? They went fron two of the worst TE’s to one of most promising young TE’s and one of the most solid in the league, the RB who was out most of the year lost his job to someone much better in Harris and they drafted Rhamondre. Agholor is infinitely better than Dorsett at this point. Meyers broke out last year and really didn’t play much in 2019, he’s just flat better player. Newhouse was one of the worst lineman in the league if not the absolute worst when he was in there and Andrew’s is crucial to our line and he’s back as opposed to being out, we also added Trent Brown back. Its not the most talented offense in the league, but it’s a massive improvement over the last 2 years. It’s not even remotely the same. Edelman was the only major downgrade and he played injured nearly all of 2019 and missed most of last year so he was barely a factor at all. So two huge upgrades at line, two massive upgrades at TE, an upgrade at RB, more depth on the line, a better stretch WR, and a guy who has been improving every year as a young WR. There’s no reason Mac can’t have a respectable season if he has the goods. Bill’s going to put in positions to succeed, McDaniels is going to develop him and get the offense working for his strengths. It’s really just about whether he can ball or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The fact Belichick is going to start Mac immediately is a huge sign he's something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives me some faith just because last year no matter how bad Cam was, you could tell Bill couldn’t stomach the idea of Stidham starting even when fans clamored for it and there was nothing to lose. Bill isn’t going to send a young QB out into a bad situation and let them drown. He had Cam to do the same thing as last year if he really wanted that. He really didn’t need to make that move and I think most Pats fans were surprised Cam wasn’t the initial starter (even though most of us thought Mac was better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsthomp2007 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Do you enter Bryce Young into this convo yet? Sheesh...dude lit it up Sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotsWin! Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Really encouraged by what I saw from Mac today. Played like a seasoned vet. Great poise even under a lot of pressure. Completed close to 75% of his passes, had great touch and accuracy, very good decision making. Looking good so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTrav Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Mac was really good from what I saw, against a pretty rabid MIA defense. Hurts is also good, I'm not sure why the hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tk3 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I still think Tua actually - but I do not feel confident about it at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler735 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Feeling pretty good about Mac Jones after that 1st game. Have little doubt he will be the best of the 3 Alabama QB's and likely better than some of the QB's drafted ahead of him this year.
