Data-driven decision-making is science and art.
Chase is doing well and all that but from my pov, it would be a travesty if he won over Mac
They must have missed yesterday's game...Went to check out Gang Green after the game today. They all think Mac sucks...
You can bank on that. The media will never give the Patriots any recognition or awards for any substantial accomplishment. Dont'a Hightower has never even been to a Pro Bowl (even though he has 3 rings and a nickname of "Mr. February") and Saleh is up there yesterday calling overrated Moseley an "All Pro". It's just disgusting.Chase is doing well and all that but from my pov, it would be a travesty if he won over Mac
We did QB designed run with Matt Cassel in 2008 except it was usually down themiddle. Receivers run out cuts and Matt threw or ran depending on whether or not defenders stayed behind.Pleasant, but not surprised. His combine #s were solid, and he showed this a couple times in the preseason. He can run well enough to take advantage of the defense leaving huge gaps.
I've often wondered about designing a QB delay draw where you flood one side of the field, climb the pocket, pump to hold defenders, and slip out to the empty side of the field...
Barmore is REALLY coming along. I confess he wasn't on my radar before teh draft, but when he was drafted I looked him up and wow. I was traveling and that week was in Saratoga Springs and didn't have my white board setup with me. Just my luck that the best draft we've had in a long time and I was least prepared.The season is far enough along at this point that I am confident to say that we got our next stud QB. Oh, and we also got our next stud DT (in Barmore).

It's weird for me because while everybody was telling us that he would be average and that he had a low ceiling there was nothing that I saw (admittedly very untrained eye) that made me think he had a low ceiling. Everything he did at Alabama was successful. There wasn't an aspect of the game that showed up as less than stellar when I saw him.I L❤VE him.
i thought he'd be a good, solid qb after i looked at stuff post draft.
I SEVERELY UNDERESTIMATED EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM. EVERYTHING.
His transition has helped since his former and present coaches think alike. Plus, having former players from Bama being on the team with him has helped as well.It's weird for me because while everybody was telling us that he would be average and that he had a low ceiling there was nothing that I saw (admittedly very untrained high) that made me think he had a low ceiling.

The talking heads talked him down and it was a huge favor to the Patriots.
He is doing exactly what he did Alabama at the next level.
Keep him upright because if they do they won the QB battle again for the next 12 -15 years.
And to think that's happening halfway through and without all the weapons reaching their own potential yet.Terrific read from Evan Lazar who is not prone to hyperbole very often
With each passing week, the Pats’ rookie is breaking through the “ceiling” many built for him and making those who think he’ll be a career JAG look like fools.
Through the first seven weeks of the season, Jones is 16th out of 33 quarterbacks in expected points added+completion percentage over expected composite. According to CPOE, Mac is the seventh-most accurate quarterback in the league through Week 7 (also look at where all the other rookies are in the chart).
Jones is Pro Football Focus’s 12th-rated quarterback sandwiched between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. He’s already a top-ten QB in clean pockets (90.8, ninth), which is a stable metric year-to-year since it’s the most common condition for a quarterback to throw a pass. And he has fewer turnover-worthy plays (8) than Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow.
If this is how good Mac is now, seven games into his first year in the league, then who’s to say how good Jones can be in the future with more experience in the NFL?

Yeah i loved that too, and him saying he wanted to be a patriot all along. buuuuut...i'm a skeptic at heart so i looked at it like going on a first date and the guy is all opening the door for you etc. so you're smitten. then next month he's burping open mouthed at the table without saying, "excuse me"....His walk to the front I simply loved.
