In the right situation he can be pretty good if you ask me. We can talk all we want about clean pockets and bamas talent but the guy simply put the ball where it needed to be and on time most of the time and made good decisions. He is not a Qb that will carry a team but on a good team he could be good enough to win. He's got journeyman relief pitcher written all over him. There's still value in that of course - but I'm seeing posts in here like "do you think he'll make it to us at 23?..." lol fack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church01 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Throws the deep ball better than anyone coming out. I know his team is loaded but he was still impressive in every aspect. If he is there at 23 it would be a shame not to take him. Plus having played for Saban is always a plus from college to pro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettyBoop Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Greensleeves said: When you have all day to throw and have first round talent at all positions, it's a mismatch no matter what team you're playing. The numbers were so skewed all season because Smith, Waddle (before injury) can get open quickly and take a screen pass for 20 or more yards every time they touch it. He was accurate for sure and played a great game, but when it comes to evaluating him I would think he's significantly behind Justin Fields and Wilson for a reason - not as athletic or as talented throwing the ball. The windows are so small in the NFL. So trade back a bit, select D. Smith, Najee Harris and Mac and Deonte Brown, Dickerson and Leatherwood and he’s on solid ground.

NYJ1 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I'd take him long before I'd take Fields. Fields is straight up GARBAGE and a proven system QB just like any number of different Ohio state QB's that bust in the NFL. Jones, on the other hand, would be excellent value in the mid 2nd round IMO. I'd love to see him take on Sammy in a QB competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has stood in clean pockets and thrown to wide open receivers. And he has done everyting you could possible ask, given his situation. But most successful young QBs in recent years have been mobile, not necessarily running QBs, but mobile enough to avoid pressure, extend plays and make throws. Jones has put up huge numbers, but pro scouts evaluate the player, his traits and try to project his ability to adapt at the next level. They don't scout the boxscore. He is a very tough evaluation, becuse how do you project that to the pros. He is not goin gto have the clean pockets he has at Bama, and will be throwing to NFL-sized windows. He will be playing a very different game at the next level. He may be able to adjust to the pro game just fine, but I think it is a much harder evaluation for a guy like Jones in his situation. 100% nothing they do to him at the combine will tell them how he deals with pressure, and that is probably the most important thing for any quarterback. whoever drafts him, will be gambling on him being one of those immobile QB's who can navigate the pocket under pressure and keep his eyes downfield. if they hit, he could be an all pro player, if they miss he will be Mark Sanchez level bust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Jones is intriguing. Only potential con is who knows how he'd do without a stacked team like Alabama, and him being completely immobile.

hawk Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Whelp, everything I hear makes me think we should just build a great team. I like that idea also. I'd be willing to bet a trend setting thought process! Surprised that concept has been thought of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hows Tua looking vs NFL talent? 9 games into his career after a major injury? Pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poise, accuracy, awareness, anticipation Trade back, and yes please. Or Smith at 2, Jones at 23? ? Screw this. I would rather stick with Darnold. Every time I watched him his receivers he threw to were wide open. He doesn't get this in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
