A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.
Not sure any of it matters. There will be no excuses next season.This article is completely ridiculous. Hurley actually put this in print: "Jones' rookie season was better than all of them - including Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers."
Of course he's comparing Jones to seasons that Brady and Rodgers DIDN'T PLAY. Hurley goes through his futile exercise and ends with this:
"So the point of all of this isn't to say "Mac did better, Mac will be better." It's just to remind the world and the region that there's no need to explicitly put a cap on what the Patriots' quarterback will be capable of during his career. We really don't know yet, and it's OK to say that."
So his main point is "we don't know" what Jones will become. Well, obviously. Why then the stupid comparisons to all-time great quarterbacks?
People are speculating on Jones' potential. Just like with any rookie in the league. That's what people do when they have a limited sample size, they speculate.
