Yeah, going from a career backup to a Hiesman candidate and an NFL 1st round prospect isn't hype.He does need to prove in real games…but if you consider his play last year, and look at how he’s looking this year, he is absolutely NOT the same athlete and QB, there’s plenty reasons to expect a jump. He’s 1-0 against the Pats…Mac’s 0-0 in the NFL and was not a highly touted prospect coming out of Bama. You didn’t hear any hype at all on him until NE drafted him.. They‘re not on the same level.
But if Bill manages to have Mac game-manage to the level Brady did his first few years, and if we can’t stop the run, we’re in for a long one. I don’t have any concerns about Tua being good enough to beat them again. He is leagues closer to the pre-injury Tua that earnestly deserved the praise he was getting. Vegas has this one as virtually a pick-‘em. Taking whole teams, including coaches into account, if Tua plays like he has in the pre-season, we certainly have the edge.

Mac Jones had big shoes to fill as the Alabama quarterback following Tua Tagovailoa, but he filled those shoes all the way to a spot as a Heisman Trophy finalist.
