🏈 found on reddit- The Underestimation of Mac Jones

[Max]

 

[Bamabww]

The only thing he lacks is game time experience and that's not his fault. He'll have my support.

 

[rick4bama]

He just been behind some great player.

Blake Barnett says "Hi".

Just because he did well in a scrimmage and was highly recruited, means nothing. The film shows otherwise.

Are we more of a voat person?

I don't see it any worse, or better, than your SEC Rants and their Bama board with the exception of the latter's current mod, or former mod, being discredited often.

Plebbit is 4chan/voat terminology. Rarely every hear it anywhere else but I see it on those a lot.

 

[RollllTide!]

I will support and pull for him

I mean if a Reddit poster said, shit we should take that as Gospel. And I can't think of any more better evidence then Mac throwing for a billion yards against backups and freshmen in a spring scrimmage to prove it! We're gonna destroy LSU with Mac!

Yah, knew that. I still and left wondering if @TideatMileHigh thinks it's better or worse than a group like the one found on Rant. Not a big deal...every community has its own "flavor."

Said while knowing everything in that post is gospel?

Mac Jones is a very capable QB who deserves the chance and support of the fans

There's certainly no fault that can be found in that statement.

Opinion is not gospel. I find no fault in saying fans should support Mac. Let me be real clear about that. I can tell you that my OPINION is that he is simply not a good QB, while also rooting for him to succeed. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

 

[TerryP]

Opinion is not gospel.

These statements in that post are not opinion based. Hence, the point.

Mac was a 4star QB coming out of High School and was considered the 9th best QB in his class going by Rivals ratings.

He has been trained by QB coach Joe Dickinson since Middle School. Dickinson has said "Mac Jones is one of, if not the purest passer I have ever been around”

In the 2018 ADay game he went 23-of-35 for 289 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. outperforming Jalen Hurts and winning the ADay MVP award.

In the 2019 ADay game he went 19-of-23 for 271 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Outperforming Tua for the day.

Now, we are getting into his viewpoint here ...

Mac Jones is a very capable QB who deserves the chance and support of the fans.

Is that the point you're wanting to discuss here? You feel he isn't a capable quarterback?

I think I've pretty explicitly expressed that viewpoint.

 

[TerryP]

I think I've pretty explicitly expressed that viewpoint.

I've seen cynicism, but that's clear.

 

[PurlJam]

I remember when Joe Burrow sucked too.

 

[JoshB]

I've seen cynicism, but that's clear.

Then, let me be more clear... I do not believe Mac Jones is or will be an effective/competent QB. I don't think he has a good arm. I don't think he is accurate. I don't think he has any pocket awareness. I don't think he has the ability to take command of the offense. Everything I just said is an opinion. That is my belief from nothing other than watching him play the last few years, that's it. No inside information, no secret scouting report. Just my two eyes. Could I be wrong? I sure as hell hope so. I will be much, much more happy if I am wrong than if I am right, believe me.
