Knock the Pro Bowl if you want. I get that. I am trying to figure out why Patriots fans grade this kid on such a ridiculous scale. Yes, I know 18 years of non-crazy Brady is a tough act to follow, but so far he has done a fantastic job. The future looks bright to me. Belichick is building the defense a 2nd year (SECOND YEAR!) quarterback needs. We have seen this drill before. Run the ball, play stellar defense and let this kid grow. The constant between 2001 and 2021 is Belichick himself.
I think it is much more fair to grade this kid on the right curve while ehe grows rather than to grade him on unrealistic expectations for a QB with 20 games under his belt. Graded on the right curve, Mac has performed almost spectacularly given the OC change and don't forget the covid bullshit.
How many teams would trade for Mac Jones right now and plug him in?
Ceiling? No way to tell yet, but so far I have no reason whatsoever to think it won't be very high.
