I tend to agree with June Jones. I've been high on Mac Jones since before he took over in 2019. I think Mac will outdo Sunshine in the NFL.

When was the last time a CFB team had QB's drafted in the 1st round in back to back years?

Oklahoma...every transfer...I mean year...

Mac is your guy only if you care about accuracy, hitting guys in stride, protecting the ball, winning, and leadership. If not, you need to go with one of the others.

All I know is I wouldn't have traded Mac for any QB in college football..

I thought he was the best QB in college football this past season, Coach Sark & our offensive system, has him more Pro ready than any college QB.

Mac proved he can make all the throws on the Pro Level..By making some of the most beautiful & amazing throws I've seen at Bama..

I think he'd be a perfect fit with the Niners. Kyle Shanahan showed what he could do with a healthy pocket QB (Matt Ryan, Jimmy G when healthy). They have a ton of weapons offensively with Kittle, Coleman, Mostert, Bourne, and Deebo and like Tua in Miami, he'd have a very good defense. He'd be in a tough division though but no competition is too big for Mac.

Any quarterback who can embarrass the National Championship opponent the way Mac Jones did definitely deserves to be QB1 by a country mile.

 

[GrayTide]

I agree with Jones's assessment of Mac. I have said before and still believe Mac was and is a better QB than Tua, not a better athlete, but better QB.

Yes and people hate to acknowledge that for whatever reason. The dude is the best Quarterback in Alabama history.

That was an excellent read. Loved the insight of watching the ball vs. watching the receiver.

I think Mac is way better than many think, but in all fairness, isn’t this the same June Jones who graded Ryan Leaf higher than Peyton Manning when he was the QB coach in San Diego?

I think most deserve a pass on Ryan leaf.

Sometimes you have to look into more than just numbers. The red flags were there, no one paid any attention to them.

There have been documents and credible sources that have came to light over the past few years that indicate that the Colts were more sold on Leaf than Manning as late as the week of the draft. What changed the feeling was leaf bailed on a scheduled interview.

The other tipping point was when asked what he would do with the signing bonus. Peyton Manning gave the type of answer you would think Peyton Manning would give. Ryan Leaf said "weekend in Vegas baby"

I think I am one of the few people that thinks Lawrence isn't that great and will be a bust. Just a gut feeling and I base it on nothing. If I am wrong, I am sure our clempson friends will be the first to point it out. I will own it if I am wrong. I was wrong about Mahomes, so i am not perfect. I am right a lot more than the supposed "expert" Kiper.

I think Lawrence is like Tua. Same strengths and same weaknesses. Which doesn’t really translates well to the NFL. If you can’t read a defense then you better be able to run.
