Yup. The difference I see is that MAC is never under pressure when throwing. Compared to some of Drake's highlights where he has thrown incredible footballs under pressure.
I get that he had a good team, but Jones is absolutely a first round talent. He has a good arm, very accurate, incredibly high football iq, great touch, very poised. Throws a beautiful spiral. Not ever gonna be a dual threat guy but he’s not afraid to run, and he can move around in the pocket to evade pressure. Wouldn’t mind my Niners drafting him
Definitely not a dual threat or much of a scrambler, but my god thats some top tier arm talent! I mean you don't get better than this dude I don't think. Jones is something else when it comes to throwing the ball.
@@nicholas104 Exactly, the dude just throws a gorgeous ball, has a big arm too. He’s gonna get selected later in the draft too so he’ll go to a team with good weapons
@@justinklinck6575 i think that’s been a conversation for the past 2 decades, the patriots are easily the best org in the NFL as of right now, and this is coming from a giants fan.
You literally can go wrong. Go look at Jalen Hurts in 2017 with Jeudy, Ridley, Ruggs, Devonta, Cam Sims and Robert Foster. All are NFL wide receivers and any Alabama fan can tell you that Jalen was nowhere near Mac in terms of pure passing ability.
Just so I got this straight, you are professional evaluator that thinks a pro day against invisible people is a more accurate indicator of talent than actual game tape? So you think Mac Jones overthrowing Smitty against the invisible man is more important than the absolute dimes he threw against actual athletes in coverage?
@crow wing I was shocked this morning when I heard that. I never thought that would happen. Cam Newton CUT!!!! YEAH!!! Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I never liked him as s QB. Now Patriots have to find a backup quarterback for a Mac Jones. "Mac The Back"!!!
You guys have a very good rookie QB with Mac Jones. I'm wondering if the Eagles should have taken Jones instead of WR Devonta Smith, who will also likely be a very good NFL player like QB M. Jones. We'll see this year and next season if the Eagles made the right decision. I have a feeling we may regret passing on Mac Jones.
one of the most significant and important things about Jones, is often overlooked. The intended receiver NEVER has to 'break stride'. They run the pattern, look, the ball is there.
Yes his touch DOWN FIELD is amazing- I Did see alot of jumbo packages (6 lineman or 2 TE sets) for max protection, But he reminds me of Big Ben ,pump fakes ,subtle sidesteps ,shrugs off defenders ,always looking to throw- BUT AN NFL PASS RUSH IS WHOLE DIFFERENT ANIMAL....
Mac Jones has done an outstanding job this year and hasn't gotten near the praise she should have. He very quietly put together an enviable year that ANY quarterback would be proud of. .
@@micah2426 Agreed, but don't discount the fact that Mac's reads often got those players into positions to use their skills the best. How many times this year did teams blitz only to have Mac pick it up and burn them with a pass into that vacated area? All the while knowing a big LB was about to unload on him at full speed. In his own words he isn't that athletic but he calls a good game. Not unlike a Tom Brady. No, I'm not saying he is a Tom Brady but that he can make those around him look really good.
I didn't see him look off that first read much, because it was mostly Devonta on a lesser CB, in the NFL he'll be going into the 2nd and 3rd reads because that #1 WR will be blanketed, his success at the point will tell all you need to know. Thats what is so mysterious about him, how will he adjust to having to adjust his view and throw in a snap to a different read and will he be successful or sufficient enough.
I think Metchie and Waddle caught 5 of the first 7 TDs from Mac Jones so that kind of gives it away I think..... there is a lot more DeVonta after Waddle is injured though.
yeah they can't see the artwork that is mac jones. the dude is so good it didn't matter what team he was on he was winning and putting up insane completion rate
He also takes the shotgun snap, right foot forward... NOT Shanahan's thing and Shanahan didn't ask to see Jones take snaps, left foot forward. Jones is NOT the pick. Never was.👎 Save this!!!
Love Mac can't stand when people say he isn't talented just relies on people on his team I mean hes the damn quarterback he's supposed to do it they ain't gonna throw it to themselves
Yes these people are just idiot football fans. They act like all Mac ever has to do is just heave the ball and it magically ends up caught. Being a quarterback means not only make quick and fast decisions, which Mac might be one of the best ever at, and judging where to drop a ball right into a guy's hands who is at full gallop like Smitty. It was a thing of beauty all year.
Mac is very good, but he’s not special. That’s all that people are saying. But you can get special production from Mack if he has the right talent around him. If Mack goes to a team with mediocre line and skill positions around him he’s not going to do good.
He might have been the QB on one of the greatest teams in college football history. No doubt he had a o line, some amazing wr's, but he does have an accurate, fast arm. I would select him if I am the patriots.
That's who he reminded me of too, he does have a Bradyiesce thing about him for how he prepares for games and plays the game. When I told folks we can win a natty with Mac over a year ago I got laughed at but I'm the one laughing now 😂
He's very accurate and has a strong arm. He profits from the WR around him (same as Burrow last year). It wouldn't surprise me if one team gets him early and even trades up for him.
I am here to watch his highlights again, after I saw a report that My team The Patriots met him in the Senior Bowl yesterday, and the meeting went well .
He has all the traits to be the best QB of this draft. Running as a quarterback is not mandatory and it’s so dangerous. Look what happens with the QBs who goes out of the pocket too much, they all get injured at some point.
@@Joe-zx6jb I hope those coaches know voodoo cause dam I never liked goff he suck at going threw his progression stairs down his receivers so defense knows where he's going
@@alexhanley933 I wouldn’t be mad.. the rest of the Niners fan base might be I’d rather take fields or Lance but I think any of them can be studs especially in out system
The New England Patriots totally missed out on a quarterback in last year's draft, and now they could make up for their mistakes right here and right now.
Who were they supposed to get? Bill is not the kind of guy to trade a bunch of draft capital for 1 player. I'm glad they waited till this year, it gave them a chance to see which players on offense, like Jakobi Meyers, have great potential with a good QB
I get tb12 vibes when I see that 10 and his play style. Everyone bags this man but tbh he’s a very poised qb wouldn’t hate to see him a niner. My prediction is he shocks a lot of ppl in the nfl.
Thanks for the video. I see some very accurate deep passes, good movement in the pocket, good intermediate range touch passes. He made a great throw on the run without his feet set. I also see a lot of confidence and poise for someone with relatively little playing time.
Notice he is never pressured? In the nfl he will nearly always be pressured and his receivers will be guarded. That’s why these super team qbs with first round receivers have a tougher time in the nfl. Any nfl Qb with time can make these throws.
He directly reminds me on brady, then i m reading the comments and looks like I am not the only one. Love how he throws the ball so perfect, so the receiver can continue his run in full speed. Also he throws very quick. This QB with good WR is really dangerous. Must say devonte smith also great performance, sad they dont play together anymore.
@@terrywhitejr9574 yes i agree on that because those two teams are just a qb away from competing for a superbowl. Rumor is that colts is his perfered choice.
Mac Jones has had a terrific year his only season as the starting quarterback. He can put the ball right where the receiver can get it. He can read the defense really well. He’s got incredible deep ball accuracy. He can make tight window throws. Jones is smart with the ball in his hands and rarely throws interceptions. Jones has waited very patiently for his turn sitting behind Tua and Jalen Hurts and his time came. Mac Jones is better than Tua was the past 2 seasons at Alabama. Jones will get drafted by the Chicago Bears in the NFL Draft. I believe he will be a great quarterback in the pros. Good luck in the NFL Mac!
No doubt Alabama had some awesome receivers, but the accuracy of Jones is top notch, some of those tight and double coverage strikes required a perfect pass with no room for error and he delivered that.
Mac Jones reminds me of Jimmy Garoppolo coming out of college. Quick release very accurate high iq and command an offense. The difference between the two is Mac can perform on a big stage.
Yup, this highlight reel shows only great arm and accuracy. No mobility/run highlights probably because he never needed that aspect of the game to succeed at Alabama. He'll absolutely need it in the NFL.
You don't know how to watch game film...he had the #1qbr in the nation under pressure...he doesn't hold the ball for more than 3 secs on most throws and his pocket mobility is second to none...why run the ball when your processing skills are immaculate!
I’ma lose all trust cuz he’s just throwing to wide open receivers without any pressure. He has the best O-Line in the nation and the best athletes in the nation cuz Bama has the number 1 recruiting class every year. He didn’t move out the pocket once & a lot of underthrown balls but he has two top receivers in the nation that’ll go get it no matter where’s it’s thrown & he gets bailed out. He’s a worse Gorropollo if you ask me
Bell City Vizzy i understand all of the doubts and concerns, but i think we simply just put our full faith into the organization. i don’t see the niners as an organization who gives away 2 first rounders and fuck it up. i trust that they know much more than the fans
@@Zuyst I'll take that because Trub's isn't a bad player , can you say that for the draft placement , perhaps but he's getting better so I would take that because Trub's isn't too far from being there , just takes a serious off-season of working at his craft but yes , the 🐻's do need a QB , O-line and secondary. Perhaps linebackers as well even though it's a strong suit , depth never hurts.
Consistently being mentioned in the same breath as the GOAT is an honor for Jones. His pocket presence and ability to read defenses is among the best in this year's class. prosportsoutlook.com/pso-scouting-report-qb-mac-jones-alabama/
I'm not a talent evaluator, but based on this highlight film and his impressive efficiency stats (41 TDs and only 4 INTs and 70+% completion rate), THIS IS the guy to take as QB in the 2021 Draft, regardless of where in the Draft order you are picking. Why? He looks real comfortable in the pocket, and plays with very good poise and sense of calm. He knows exactly where his receivers are going to be, and puts the ball out in the best spot (granted, his WRs seem to be wide open a lot of the time). Throwing accuracy is solid, and can fire a throw into tight windows. He plays as if he know the answers to the test in advance (where the defense is setup, and where his receivers are going to be). The single biggest separator for QBs at an NFL is not things like arm strength, or even mobility. It is diagnosing defenses, know where each of your receivers are, making the best decision, delivering the football, and playing with a sense of poise and not getting rattled. The video did not show him under any serious pressure (pass protection is real good), but just watching him gives a sense of a guy that plays with a calmness and poise about him. I would pick this guy to be a lock as a top-5 or top-7 performer as a NFL QB (franchise QB).
I’m sold on this kid as the best QB in the draft... @5:13 showed me why! Not a deep 40-50yd pass, but the pocket presence and awareness to slide forward to evade crashing outside rush, eyes downfield and a pretty accurate pass for the TD. That may seem easy but it’s not! These are the pocket awareness that Brady, Montana and Marino had/has that makes them all time greats! And @6:54, inside LB comes free right in his face and he throws a perfect strike to WR for TD... his decision making and accuracy is pretty damn remarkable! Yea! He’d be my #1 for this draft class! 👍
I'm always skeptical of QBs from Alabama and Ohip State because their programs surround them with so much talent, it's hard to discern if they're gonna transition well at the next level.
If my pats get Mac that would be amazing him behind our solid offensive line and new weapons would be amazing. I’d be happy with him or trading up for fields since cam mentored him and fields likes him.
I love watching this guy throw the ball. I don't care how good his supporting cast is. Most of his throws are impeccably placed. The kids got amazing accuracy and vision. Put him in a NFL system in the area where he's expected to fall that will protect him well and he will flourish.
Born September 5, 1998. Played high school football for The Bolles School Bulldogs (FL). Played college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Drafted #15 overall by the New England Patriots.
With the benefit of hindsight: The most obvious thing is that this reel is 50% devonte smith highlights (and others). This bama team was stacked and it was mac's only year as a starter. 3 1st round nfl receivers at the same time, this means no team can focus too much on any one and they were each capable of kicking their man's ass 1 on 1. There are 5-10 yards of separation on most of these throws if not more. The second thing is the o line. Bama's weapons were great this year but so was the line, mac is not having to climb the pocket much less scramble and make a play in literally ANY of these throws. If you watch mac play to this day, he is distinctly bad at moving within the pocket and this problem is compounded by new england's terrible line. At the end of the day, these throws are perfectly placed and mac jones is an nfl caliber qb, but tons of nfl qbs could have had a similar season to mac in 2020 given what he had to work with. Mac got drafted to a team devoid of talent and his play is suffering as a result. Its not too complicated
His IQ, arm, and pocket awareness is top notch. I get why there is doubt but the guy didn't have a bad game all year! Didn't Burrow have 1st round talent around him? Did he not face a bunch of 1st round talent in the SEC? You can tell he makes the right decisions quick, he's got 2 degrees, what he lacks mobility he makes up for in IQ. He's so collected in pocket and very shifty. Watch tape of him when he does have pressure, there's no panic. He's also big enough to see over defenders and use his high IQ to scan field. He's deadly accurate. I think Kyle and John will feel the same way I do, and if they don't he wont get pass the Pats at 15.
Naw, man. It’s about repeating the narrative that you’ve heard from “experts” to sound smart yourself! The narrative being that he’s slow and has NFL talent around to carry him
Kyle trask is the same way. Take away his top notch receivers, you get an interception throwing clown. Mac's receivers are good too, but Mac puts his passes right on the money most of the time. Trask's receivers had to make difficult adjustments that only high caliber receivers can catch. The game vs. OU exposed him.
@@bobbydyne Tom Brady was and is the slowest QB in the NFL. And he has 6 rings and is currently in the playoffs on a new team. Being slow doesn't matter if you're a smart QB.
Don’t need a high IQ to chuck it deep to wide open Heisman receivers. He’s literally locked in on one receiver the entire play, doesn’t go through progressions because he doesn’t really have to, and doesn’t face pressure most of the time because his o line is good.
As long as that team has a good o line, his mobility won't be much help. He does seem to have very good pocket presence and decision making. Very good accuracy on throws and enough arm strength. I think he'll do good with the right team
With all the talented receivers Dallas has he would make their offense instantly better. I like Dak but I honestly believe Mac Jones will become QB that's consistently good every year in the NFL and make the weapons around him better. I also worry about Dak coming back from that injury it was a very nasty break.
@@danielminton9056 COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE ONLY THING MAC CANT SCRAMBLE BUT I WOULD THINK HIS ACCURACY & BALL PLACEMENT WOULD MAKE UP FOR IT OR AM I TRIPPING?
@@devondadude3588 no you're not tripping his pocket awareness, quick decision making, accuracy and leadership skills are high level. He seriously has mental traits like Brady, Manning and Brees. Like I said I think Dak is a good pro bowl caliber QB but I'm just not sold he's the guy that can lead a team to the Superbowl.
I would have loved to see him as a Rivers apprentice, but now with his retirement, I'm not sure which team he's going to. But he certainly has the talent to be a franchise QB, I hope they just give him the time to develop his skills further.
exactly... they say he had an all star cast of receivers in college.... Well, the entire NFL is full of college all stars. He still put that rock where it needed to be put.
@@Darkside_co it’s not even close to bein the same, college all star doesn’t translate to NFL All Pro all the time & not every one has the O-Line he had in college
Mac Jones will be better than most think. Throws his receivers open, goes through his progressions well when he has time. Relies on his arm rather than setting his feet and generating torque. Reminds me a bit of Eli Manning in college at times.
@@Marvelis26 it’s not about as much avoiding the sack it’s the fact he stay calm in the pocket while he is collapsing and has quick movements to step up and back and side to side out of the pocket and moving in the pocket is avoiding pressure just as much as someone who roll out of the pocket maybe next time instead of complaining about how there is no pressure (which is actually a lie) pay attention to his feet and see just how calm and elusive he is in the pocket
Devonta was the best receiver I've ever seen play in the SEC. Not sure how he's doing in NFL as I don't watch it much, but I'd imagine he's testing it up if he's got a QB that can throw deep.
I think his footwork is questionable. Drop backs are really nice, but he rarely steps up in the pocket. Instead, his step ups are a mixture of sidestepping and off balance throwing. This is the only part of his game that concerns me and if he lands with a team with OL struggles, Jones will struggle.
@@cliffordyawn2696 your kidding right? Best qb of all time and your saying a college kid is already better than the greatest to Play the pos. Fyi, i hate tom Brady , bit come the fuck on
@@BETILLO619 You guys will have a #10 behind center in NE next season, but it won't be Jones. It'll be Jimmy G after my 49ers trade him back to the Patriots for a 6th rounder, so Kyle Shanahan can draft Jones to be his next Matt Ryan. lol I'm only teasing, but not gonna lie---I'd like to see Mac Jones in a 49ers jersey next year. Good luck to you guys!
@@randomanton I agree. He'll need a line. He has very good pocket presence but he's no runner. I think he's the best passer in this draft. He doesn't have the strongest arm but he's the best passer.

He has all the traits to be the best QB of this draft. Running as a quarterback is not mandatory and it’s so dangerous. Look what happens with the QBs who goes out of the pocket too much, they all get injured at some point.
These are some of the most satisfying college QB highlights he just throws such a smooth ball
41 TDs 4 INTs. As a Lions fan, that's all I need to know.
With stafford leaving I hope lions go after this guy
lol enjoy goff
@@Joe-zx6jb I hope those coaches know voodoo cause dam I never liked goff he suck at going threw his progression stairs down his receivers so defense knows where he's going

The New England Patriots totally missed out on a quarterback in last year's draft, and now they could make up for their mistakes right here and right now.
Who were they supposed to get? Bill is not the kind of guy to trade a bunch of draft capital for 1 player. I'm glad they waited till this year, it gave them a chance to see which players on offense, like Jakobi Meyers, have great potential with a good QB
If the patriots don’t get a proven veteran qb then this is the guy I want. To me he’s the second best Quarterback in this draft behind Lawrence.
I like him better.
Behind Zach Wilson too
I like Zach as well but Mac went up against much better competition. Zach will go higher in the draft though.
I like Mac Jones. I think he’s going to pan out. I know he’s on Bama but he’s got arm talent
I think he has a damn good chance of coming to Washington
I get tb12 vibes when I see that 10 and his play style. Everyone bags this man but tbh he’s a very poised qb wouldn’t hate to see him a niner. My prediction is he shocks a lot of ppl in the nfl.

He throws a beautiful deep ball.
Right? Way better than overhyped QB's like Spencer Rattler. Although Rattler isn't half bad for his young age.
I'm an Oklahoma fan/former alumni and I'm sitting here clowning on our own starting QB. 😂😂😂😭😭🤣
Thanks for the video. I see some very accurate deep passes, good movement in the pocket, good intermediate range touch passes. He made a great throw on the run without his feet set. I also see a lot of confidence and poise for someone with relatively little playing time.
Mac Jones is an absolute baller. He’s Rivers at least and that’s a huge compliment.
He’s stronger than rivers. He’s Matt Rayan 2.0 and a 49er
Theyre all one read throws and he stares down his receivers.
Prime Drew Bledsoe
You did not say River's wow. Mac jones is tom brady has great pocket feet and Great Accuracy
How many rings does Rivers have 🤨🤔
Bro looked good cause he was just throwing it to Smith and Waddle all day 😅
People really talk about this guy like he isn’t good. He has amazing ball placement, his touch is just perfect on these throws.
Notice he is never pressured? In the nfl he will nearly always be pressured and his receivers will be guarded. That’s why these super team qbs with first round receivers have a tougher time in the nfl. Any nfl Qb with time can make these throws.
Good observation man, we're forgetting that Alabama has one of the best ol in college football
He directly reminds me on brady, then i m reading the comments and looks like I am not the only one. Love how he throws the ball so perfect, so the receiver can continue his run in full speed. Also he throws very quick. This QB with good WR is really dangerous. Must say devonte smith also great performance, sad they dont play together anymore.
Quick release. Progression through WRs. Pocket Presence. Accurate. Prototypical Belichek target. This guy is going to be great.
throws recievers open as well. doesnt wait for them to make their move and BE open like Newton
NOPE!!! he needs Waddle!!! he is nothing without him!
Not a long range threat? Seems fine at long range also on some of those throws. NE got a steal with him.
And with the 3rd pick in the 2021 NFL draft...the San Francisco 49ers select... Mac Jones, alabama.
🙌🏼
That offensive line is impressive.
As a Pats fan, I want him bad if we cant get Stafford 🥵💯
As a lions fan I wish you could get him and the lions keep Stafford. 🤣
He reminds me of Brady. I'd love to have him on the Pats.
Stafford is not going to pats..he actually needs playmakers on offense. Which the Pats is running low on with offense.
@@chroniclesofldthetrucker3186 I’m guessing stafford goes to the colts or 49ers.

When was Brady throwing 40 yard bombs bro?
@@malikdunston670 you do realize brady played 20 plus years in the NFL right? He made a lot of 40 plus yards over his careers.
Mac Jones has had a terrific year his only season as the starting quarterback. He can put the ball right where the receiver can get it. He can read the defense really well. He’s got incredible deep ball accuracy. He can make tight window throws. Jones is smart with the ball in his hands and rarely throws interceptions. Jones has waited very patiently for his turn sitting behind Tua and Jalen Hurts and his time came. Mac Jones is better than Tua was the past 2 seasons at Alabama. Jones will get drafted by the Chicago Bears in the NFL Draft. I believe he will be a great quarterback in the pros. Good luck in the NFL Mac!
I think he will be better than tua but that's not saying much
Tua will be a much improved quarterback in year 2.
No doubt Alabama had some awesome receivers, but the accuracy of Jones is top notch, some of those tight and double coverage strikes required a perfect pass with no room for error and he delivered that.
Mac Jones reminds me of Jimmy Garoppolo coming out of college. Quick release very accurate high iq and command an offense. The difference between the two is Mac can perform on a big stage.
As a Niner fan, Jones also has a better deep ball than Jimmy. He throws guys open and doesn't under/over throw like Jimmy.
Good throws, but he has all the time in the world. Who knows how he’ll handle pressure in the NFL.
He's getting rid of the ball really fast
His under pressure stats in college are great
Yup, this highlight reel shows only great arm and accuracy. No mobility/run highlights probably because he never needed that aspect of the game to succeed at Alabama. He'll absolutely need it in the NFL.
You don't know how to watch game film...he had the #1qbr in the nation under pressure...he doesn't hold the ball for more than 3 secs on most throws and his pocket mobility is second to none...why run the ball when your processing skills are immaculate!
@@stevonlewis1627 lol ok bro calm down😂 you don’t have to get all defensive sorry that I “don’t know how to watch film” 😂😂😂
niners fans, let this sink in for us.
this is the pick, and we’ll have to trust that they made the right decision, trust the process
I’ma lose all trust cuz he’s just throwing to wide open receivers without any pressure. He has the best O-Line in the nation and the best athletes in the nation cuz Bama has the number 1 recruiting class every year. He didn’t move out the pocket once & a lot of underthrown balls but he has two top receivers in the nation that’ll go get it no matter where’s it’s thrown & he gets bailed out. He’s a worse Gorropollo if you ask me
Bell City Vizzy i understand all of the doubts and concerns, but i think we simply just put our full faith into the organization. i don’t see the niners as an organization who gives away 2 first rounders and fuck it up. i trust that they know much more than the fans

He is riding the back of superior talent

@@Zuyst I'll take that because Trub's isn't a bad player , can you say that for the draft placement , perhaps but he's getting better so I would take that because Trub's isn't too far from being there , just takes a serious off-season of working at his craft but yes , the 🐻's do need a QB , O-line and secondary.

Omg Beautiful Right There 5:13 That Step Up In The Pocket Tho
coming here in 2024, I really hoped Mac wasn't a bust and that he could play good again
I would almost swear that was Tom Brady out there if I didn't know it was Mac Jones
Consistently being mentioned in the same breath as the GOAT is an honor for Jones. His pocket presence and ability to read defenses is among the best in this year's class. prosportsoutlook.com/pso-scouting-report-qb-mac-jones-alabama/
He will be better than brady
I think the niners should get this guy 🤔 even tho I hate the niners
Came from the future, Bill Belichick also thinks that.
He gives me more Drew Brees vibes
I'm not a talent evaluator, but based on this highlight film and his impressive efficiency stats (41 TDs and only 4 INTs and 70+% completion rate), THIS IS the guy to take as QB in the 2021 Draft, regardless of where in the Draft order you are picking. Why?
He looks real comfortable in the pocket, and plays with very good poise and sense of calm.
He knows exactly where his receivers are going to be, and puts the ball out in the best spot (granted, his WRs seem to be wide open a lot of the time).
Throwing accuracy is solid, and can fire a throw into tight windows.
He plays as if he know the answers to the test in advance (where the defense is setup, and where his receivers are going to be).
The single biggest separator for QBs at an NFL is not things like arm strength, or even mobility. It is diagnosing defenses, know where each of your receivers are, making the best decision, delivering the football, and playing with a sense of poise and not getting rattled.
The video did not show him under any serious pressure (pass protection is real good), but just watching him gives a sense of a guy that plays with a calmness and poise about him.
I would pick this guy to be a lock as a top-5 or top-7 performer as a NFL QB (franchise QB).
I totally agree.
I like him over Lawerence.
Lawrence is the media hype. Mac is legit.
This aged poorly
I’m sold on this kid as the best QB in the draft... @5:13 showed me why! Not a deep 40-50yd pass, but the pocket presence and awareness to slide forward to evade crashing outside rush, eyes downfield and a pretty accurate pass for the TD. That may seem easy but it’s not! These are the pocket awareness that Brady, Montana and Marino had/has that makes them all time greats!
And @6:54, inside LB comes free right in his face and he throws a perfect strike to WR for TD... his decision making and accuracy is pretty damn remarkable!
Yea! He’d be my #1 for this draft class! 👍
I like his touch on those deep throws.
I'm always skeptical of QBs from Alabama and Ohip State because their programs surround them with so much talent, it's hard to discern if they're gonna transition well at the next level.
Praying New England gets this stud
Nah he needs to go to my Bears screw New England Yal don't draft qbs in the first round anyhow
@@shady80s22 weep
@@domenicbrillon7416 as a Saints fan please draft him
If my pats get Mac that would be amazing him behind our solid offensive line and new weapons would be amazing. I’d be happy with him or trading up for fields since cam mentored him and fields likes him.
I love watching this guy throw the ball. I don't care how good his supporting cast is. Most of his throws are impeccably placed. The kids got amazing accuracy and vision. Put him in a NFL system in the area where he's expected to fall that will protect him well and he will flourish.
Give him a Broncos or Panthers team who can use the rest of draft capital to improve the o line and you’ve got a ROY candidate imo
jones' short cocking motion, very compact, even on deep throws, reminds me very much of someone but i can't quite put my finger on who.....
Tom brady.
🐐
This is a deep QB class hopefully Chicago can actually pick a good one holy hell
Only problem is that it's highly unlikely he is there at 20. We gonna have to trade down
@Jrg Vsqz kellen mond kyle trask riddler david mills???
Born September 5, 1998. Played high school football for The Bolles School Bulldogs (FL). Played college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Drafted #15 overall by the New England Patriots.
With the benefit of hindsight:
The most obvious thing is that this reel is 50% devonte smith highlights (and others). This bama team was stacked and it was mac's only year as a starter. 3 1st round nfl receivers at the same time, this means no team can focus too much on any one and they were each capable of kicking their man's ass 1 on 1. There are 5-10 yards of separation on most of these throws if not more.
The second thing is the o line. Bama's weapons were great this year but so was the line, mac is not having to climb the pocket much less scramble and make a play in literally ANY of these throws. If you watch mac play to this day, he is distinctly bad at moving within the pocket and this problem is compounded by new england's terrible line.
At the end of the day, these throws are perfectly placed and mac jones is an nfl caliber qb, but tons of nfl qbs could have had a similar season to mac in 2020 given what he had to work with. Mac got drafted to a team devoid of talent and his play is suffering as a result. Its not too complicated
His IQ, arm, and pocket awareness is top notch. I get why there is doubt but the guy didn't have a bad game all year! Didn't Burrow have 1st round talent around him? Did he not face a bunch of 1st round talent in the SEC? You can tell he makes the right decisions quick, he's got 2 degrees, what he lacks mobility he makes up for in IQ. He's so collected in pocket and very shifty. Watch tape of him when he does have pressure, there's no panic. He's also big enough to see over defenders and use his high IQ to scan field. He's deadly accurate. I think Kyle and John will feel the same way I do, and if they don't he wont get pass the Pats at 15.
Naw, man. It’s about repeating the narrative that you’ve heard from “experts” to sound smart yourself! The narrative being that he’s slow and has NFL talent around to carry him
Kyle trask is the same way. Take away his top notch receivers, you get an interception throwing clown. Mac's receivers are good too, but Mac puts his passes right on the money most of the time. Trask's receivers had to make difficult adjustments that only high caliber receivers can catch. The game vs. OU exposed him.
@@bobbydyne Tom Brady was and is the slowest QB in the NFL. And he has 6 rings and is currently in the playoffs on a new team. Being slow doesn't matter if you're a smart QB.
@@bobbydyne he is a pocket passer, him being slow means very little!!!
Don’t need a high IQ to chuck it deep to wide open Heisman receivers. He’s literally locked in on one receiver the entire play, doesn’t go through progressions because he doesn’t really have to, and doesn’t face pressure most of the time because his o line is good.
People are sleeping on how good John metchie is he is going to be elite with Bryce young next year
As far as QBs go he will be the last taken in the first round or the first taken in the second round. Point is whoever gets him got a steal
As long as that team has a good o line, his mobility won't be much help. He does seem to have very good pocket presence and decision making. Very good accuracy on throws and enough arm strength. I think he'll do good with the right team
As a Pats fan, he is not a franchise QB. I wish him the best in his backup career tho 😮💨
MaC Jones To the Dallas Cowboys 🤠 with #10 pick!
With all the talented receivers Dallas has he would make their offense instantly better. I like Dak but I honestly believe Mac Jones will become QB that's consistently good every year in the NFL and make the weapons around him better. I also worry about Dak coming back from that injury it was a very nasty break.

Mac Jones will be better than most think. Throws his receivers open, goes through his progressions well when he has time. Relies on his arm rather than setting his feet and generating torque. Reminds me a bit of Eli Manning in college at times.

@@cliffordyawn2696 I said avoid pressure not stand in the pocket and take a hit. Open your peepers and learn to read kid
@@Marvelis26 it’s not about as much avoiding the sack it’s the fact he stay calm in the pocket while he is collapsing and has quick movements to step up and back and side to side out of the pocket and moving in the pocket is avoiding pressure just as much as someone who roll out of the pocket maybe next time instead of complaining about how there is no pressure (which is actually a lie) pay attention to his feet and see just how calm and elusive he is in the pocket
The first throw of the video was NASTY. Just a flick of the wrist and thats right over the shoulder for the receiver 🔥🔥
Devonta was the best receiver I've ever seen play in the SEC. Not sure how he's doing in NFL as I don't watch it much, but I'd imagine he's testing it up if he's got a QB that can throw deep.
Who else is here after hearing the bears traded up to get this guy? 😎
Bad move
Bears didn't trade up
He looks like Tom Brady with his footwork, smooth as silk.
Actually he's better than Brady
I think his footwork is questionable. Drop backs are really nice, but he rarely steps up in the pocket. Instead, his step ups are a mixture of sidestepping and off balance throwing. This is the only part of his game that concerns me and if he lands with a team with OL struggles, Jones will struggle.
