Snell41 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Yes just because Brady was able to evolve into the GOAT Macaroni Jones will do the same. Awesome sample size. In fact it’s much more likely that he is Jacoby Brisset or Matt Cassell, who also looked comfortable early. You don’t just learn how to throw the ball down field, that requires natural talent. Brady was a great baseball player and always had a gun. I never said that, I’m tact you can find a recent post of mine where I said Jones will likely never be a top 5 type of QB. He’s a middle of the Rod type of guy but he’ll be consistent and reliable. His comp is a healthy Chad Pennington.

Something our guy still has not achieved. Guess we'll attribute it to their OC being a mile (parsec?) better than ours. But there is no denying that right now Jones can play in the NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest struggle with a guy like that is you need a monster team around him and the Pats historically don’t like to pay people. Yet, Bobby dipped into his emergency handjob fund this free agency season so maybe that may change? One of the things Brady did that no one else has is take less money to maintain a roster. At least in Tampa, I’m pretty sure he got his through TB12 in New England 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hael Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The flipside is that healthy Chad Pennington wins a lot of games in the NFL. Yea he's not A Rogers, but year in and year out, he's going to keep you in contention, and with the right enough team can probably win the big one. Meanwhile gunslingers basically kill their team unless they're miles above everyone else. The Mahomes and Favre type. And then, thats a good example b/c a little bit of slippage and your team is in the gutter. Meanwhile for those less talented, well there are millions of Bryce Petty's that just turn your team into perpetual comedy center meme stock material. Right now, the warning signs for ZW are like in overdrive. This injury he suffered was no fluke. It was 100% a mathematical inevitability based on what we were seeing. A good example was that sack he took on the first third down play on the secondary blitz... That was on him. You simply have to adjust to a hot route or throw it away before you get killed. All those close call rollouts with guys two feet away in full pursuit, and yea eventually someone is going to be faster than you or hit you late or take out your knees. It's just not sustainable football play in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson isn't going anywhere anytime soon and if you think he is, you are going to be in for a loooong 2-3 seasons (at least). This post is accurate and makes sense.

Yes he looked OK UP to the 2nd game, but then it all went downhill and fast. Even as the protection got better, he got worse. I always dreamed of finally drafting a qb that is so good he could, maybe not win, but make crazy dangerous plays on the run despite the talent around him. So this tells me he isn t that. Now, I just hope he can turn out to be a middle of the pack starting qb. I know it pisses people off around here but Zach sucks. maybe he will bounce back but right now he is what his stats say he is...the worst in the league. I cannot just ignore all the simple dump off type plays that he can make. Were talking 20 yarders.

The 20 foot blown passes that all qbs throw on rare occasions are frequent for Zach. And you dont know what Jones would be on other teams. Your are just speculating. The bottom line is that Jones was projected to be an accurate, slow QB that was most NFL ready. He comes exactly as advertised. Zach, not even close.

Back to back Again, why did he stop running to throw the ball out of bounds? He could have tossed it in stride and the defender never would have touched him. Again, why did he pass up the two designed wide open options to hold the ball too long to throw deep into double covg? THAT is why he’s hurt.

We had no business drafting this kid #2 overall and most certainly no business starting him. That was a monumentally bad decision on all accounts. And with all due respect, NE’s offense is really no better than ours except at TE. Mac Jones is just a pro caliber QB. He won’t be a perennial top 5 guy, but he’s pro caliber right now. Zach Wilson isn’t even close to pro caliber. He does not understand the position, and furthermore handing him the keys and letting him crash the family car into everything in sight seems to fly right in the face of telling a guy like Mims he can’t see the field until he learns every detail of every position abd frankly raises credibility issues with leadership.
