The NFL rule changes that protect the QB will really help Mac. Years ago, defenders would brutalize qbs with late hits. They would get fines and the owners would slip them the money. Doing that today would result in an owner being fined millions and losing draft picks. I think that if Chris Chandler was playing under the rules of today, he would have been a superstar but in the old NFL this very talented qb was beaten half to death.
The best thing about Mac is how fast he can look off of a receiver who isn't going to get open on a particular play and find one who will. This is the hard part of playing QB and I never saw anyone in college foortball better than Mac at doing this. In summary, I give MJ a VERY good chance to succeed in the NFL. There are just so many good things about this kid that make it likely for him to do so. He is VERY smart, accurate, hard working, and his arm is more than adequate.
I also have high hopes for Bryce Young. One little twitch in the A Game fooled a defender and gave him the second he needed to throw a perfect pass to the end zone.
As always, jmo.
