Interesting stat
- Thread starter ChambersWI
- Start date
I honestly wouldn’t have guessed any of that at first. However I do remember a lot of quick, short dump offs to WIDE OPEN backs and tight ends. So perhaps that skewed the numbers?

Unfortunately, Mac showed a lot of poise and show he is more NFL ready than our QB.
Jones played like a statue he threw a lot to the backs underneath
I made this point earlier that Mac Jones is going to get a lot of contact in the pocket where he was hit hard a few times and it will count as the season progresses - Tua got hit 4 times but he was under duress more and I think he can handle his way around the pocket
I saw a bend not break D from MD - they gave up the soft dink and dunk - and are fortunate to get the TOs

One game. That's all this season has been. One game. So let's see what happens.
Don't get me wrong, TUA may or may not ever be the guy, but I do know this:
If he doesn't prove to be "the guy" at QB, we have the assets to get one early in the draft next year, who may or may not be the guy.
....and I also know this:
Deshaun Watson would be more than capable of being that guy, if he could keep his D*** in his pants or whatever he did to those ladies at the massage parlors so I wouldn't want him even if he was able to play and be cleared..which could happen this year or next or two years or three years from now..he's young but I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole right now, and the asking price of 6 combined draft picks, players..ain't worth it with his status unknown.

Doesn’t matter where he threw, it was under pressure and his passes were on the money

Not all. But a good amount for a first start ever, rookie QB. I get it.
But let's not 'crown him' yet...or is it "gold jacket" him.
He looked great.
Lawrence threw three picks.
Is that to say Mac is a better QB based on one start? Erm. Lol...
If Tua played on the Pats and Mac played for the Dolphins this past Sunday do you honestly believe Mac would have shown the same amount of poise with this OL?
mac jones also missed more open receivers than tua did too.. trent green pointed out the throws that jones missed too

That's true, too. I have to agree. I mean; they lost their starting Tackle and backup Tackle and down to their third tackle..still protected pretty good..our OL leaves much to be desired, so far. Let's see what happens when Austin Jax gets back, cause the ND rook got worked!
Yah his RBs turned and faced him and the ball was there - he took some shots - the contact is what I am talking about 8-10 hits a game over 17 games
That is not a recipe to win

Actually Lawrence would look great on the Pats..haha..they're a way better team (and NFL coach, as we know) than the Jags..

I can see why he was compared to Brady if one game is indicative..not to say he's gonna win 6 Super Bowls much less one..but he sure loves the dink/dunk to RB's and TE's and short to WR's..barely went vertical..but um..that's what Brady was his last few years with the Pats..some Super Bowl winning years..but idk man..Mac is good but Mac is the most game read QB in this past years draft..and went to the best team beyond maybe Trey Lance who has a QB in front of him blocking his way, more or less, atm..but we'll see.
Imho
Mac Jones was selected over Cam because he would like a robot - throw to who they told him to throw to and be prepared to stand in his spot absorb if necessary that is the Pats O
This is not Cams game - Cam does not stand tall in the pocket, he makes lots of plays with his legs and is susceptible to making ball security mistakes and INTs

That's true.
Cam can run..and is big, and whatever, I get it...but...
He was mostly not accurate when throwing last year..he's an old 32 with a lot of hits..many hits..on his big, granted still fit, body. But he's like 32 going on 39 with all those hits he's absorbed and even caused and initiated most of the time, and that takes its toll.
I get that it's popular to be a running QB lately..last number of years..but you damn well better also be able to throw the ball really well when the legs give out some..Steve Young was always good to great at both..Cam was a way better runner, and passing was okay.
Just look at Lamar Jackson..he won't be super fast forever..and his passing game is lacking..when his legs go? IDK how long he lasts if he gets a little bit slower and takes as many hits as Cam has..I mean, he is elusive..but as you say..the hits can pile up and up and up and even not career or season ending hits take their toll..like boxing..body shots!
