But they traded for Devante Parker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did an amazing job of using resources to add a bunch of average weapons like Agolor, Bourne, Parker, Henry, and Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Mac to me will likely have an Andy Dalton/Jimmy G type of career arc. He doesn't have the talent to be an upper echelon QB but if you surround him with the right pieces he can put up numbers and lead you to wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC33 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I read somewhere he’s 2-9 in games where the defense gives up >14? He doesn’t have the talent (IMO) to be more than a high-end game manager.. I.e Jimmy G, Alex Smith, etc. The Patriots have a bottom 1/3 roster, supported by arguably the best coach and organization in football. When the latter isn’t enough, week-to-week, I don’t see Mac being able to overcome the former. Maybe losing McDaniels proves more costly than expected, but I would still bet on Belichick finding ways to “prop” Mac up, in the same way a great supporting cast might. Put him in a lesser organization, with a similar supporting cast and a HC in over his head.. I.e what most young QBs deal with.. I think the outlook would be bleak.

jrry32 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 He's not a dude who elevates the talent around him at this point. Add in the mediocre supporting cast, the incompetent offensive minds (this year), and you have a meh situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not particularly high on any of the QBs in the AFCE (except Allen, of course). Mac and Tua seem like guys that will be system QBs, but not close to elite. I like Tua more than Mac, though; he can be a borderline top-10 QB. Wilson has the arm talent, but lacks what it takes between the ears and I really do not trust the Jets to develop him right.

Wilson is definitely talented and I think the Jets have done a good job of putting talent around him but he just hasn't been able to stay healthy. I think missing out on training camp reps and time to start the season hurts him. If he can't show pretty significant progress this season I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets look elsewhere at QB either via trade, free agency, or the draft.

The BILLievers Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 He's average imo but he could def change my mind with better play. He reminds me of an Andy Dalton. He will need a good OL and skill positions to be successful because he doesn't have the physical tools to be a game winning QB (QB you win because of).

ronjon1990 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 No WRs and has Matt Patricia calling his plays? Do the kid a favor and trade him. That's Jets level negligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if I’m an AFCE team - say, the Bills - is there a tactical advantage to sending a punt gunner to go out of bounds on a punt and collide into Belly at full speed on the sidelines? I mean, not trying to seriously injure the guy. But, crashing into him and giving him a concussion and a sprained ankle? Then NEP has to lean on Patricia or Judge as HC for a game? That’s a tactical advantage, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
