🏈 Could Mac Jones be better than Joe Burrow?

Dont believe stats.

But eye test.

Not the runner. But got the vision
And is as accurate as any so far
As good? Good enough but long way to go

Do not really care honestly I just need him to be good enough for a Bama NC.

just sayin... Joe Burrow was a 1 hit wonder. yeah, Mac could almost have the same thing said about him, but he played really well at the end of last year and picked up where he left off and improved on it. Two years ago, we ALL said JB was trash. He is showing some flashes in the NFL, but he's not lighting them on fire just yet. No, Mac doesn't run the same as JB, but I think he's more accurate, and every bit as talented. He gets my (non) vote for the Heisman.

I'd have to look to be sure but I'm thinking Burrow ran about three times more than both QB's at Bama did last season. I'm thinking it was close to 120 attempts versus a little more than 30 for Tua and Mac.

I know we have some crimson covered glasses but we are talking about the #1 draft choice. If you use that as a gauge it is a pretty easy evaluation. This is not saying I am not a huge Mac fan and believe he has exceeded expectations.

#1 draft choice isn’t always the “best” or most talented.

JB was a pretty good runner for sure. Unfortunately, some of those runs got my blood boiling...

don't really know. Joe did a good job passing under pressure. Mac has done very well and throws one of the best deep balls I've ever seen... but he's playing behind one the best Olines i've ever seen too.

The pro evaluators will be able to tell, but I just don't have the skill set to say one way or the other.
