Welcome. As a Bama fan, you are also aware that Mac the Knife is not the only Bama player on the Patriots roster.
Hightower has been a key player in the last 3 SB wins. He has also been one of the great Patriots for several years now. He was also the guy that I wanted badly when he was in the draft.
Then we have Harris, and the new beast on the DL, Barmore.
Seems as if there will a Bama flavor to our team for years to come.
I'm looking hard at the LB Harris for this year's draft. What can you tell us about him?
Don't forget Anfernee Jennings. I mean, right now it looks like he has no shot to get on the field and has been passed by a herd of OLB/Edge types, but
I've learned that you never know.
There is a growing Patriot fan base in the south especially among Bama fans.I know about 110K in Bryant Denny Stadium. I think one of the reasons is because both coaches are so much alike. And both teams are so much alike.
First, welcome to the Planet and thanks for sending us Mac. As you can see from my avatar I have a lot of respect for the 'Bama/Pats pipeline.
I was sold on him to be our next QB at some point late last season and through the playoffs. I wanted the Pats to draft him in the worst way, couldn't believe he was there at 15 for us, but I can't get over how quickly he picked everything up both on and off the field. I think the light went on for me watching Devonta Smith and Waddle catch some absolute dimes and Mac seemed to
be getting less credit than he deserved for all those TDs they were getting. Then, I saw him throw a fake on an RPO and lobbed a soft, high screen pass that, at first, looked like a misfire to empty space and by the time it came down it landed right in Najee's hands in perfect phase, the blocking was set up and the play went big. You couldn't have handed the ball to him any better. The accuracy was just off-the-charts. Then, I started noticing the other stuff. He doesn't really
look tough, but he really is. The vision. The ability to stay cool in key moments. All of that.
Jones loves what he's doing and seems to have a burning desire to be great. He doesn't repeat the same mistake twice and I believe it's just a matter of time before he is one of the best QBs in the league. Maybe THE best one of these days. I can't find a single legitimate reason why he can't.
