I've heard this several times from several football gurus today, but I honestly don't think it would bother Mac Jones.
Mac doesn't worry about the competition and focuses on making his own game better. If you could get him to talk about the situation honestly, I think Jones would admit that he could see it would just be a matter of months before he left Cam in the dust. Jones was not one of those new-wave QBs that moves all around the country trying to find the easiest place to have success, like Fields or Lawrence. He's the kind of guy that takes on all comers and trusts that he'll be good enough to be the last guy standing.
I don't know if Mac is really fearless, but I have yet to see him look afraid in any circumstance. That is unusual in a young, relatively inexperienced QB. He may have some shaky patches in the months ahead, but I'll be surprised if he looks overwhelmed or scared like so many rookie QBs faced with all the complexities of trying to make it in the Show. He doesn't really LOOK like a badass physically, but I think he really is one on the inside, which is much more important.
