Following up
3rd string in 2018 behind Tua and Jalen Hurts. Backup to Tua in 2019 but played 4 games when Tua was out; beat 3 ranked teams.
73% comp rate over '19 and '20.
10:1 TD to int ratio in '20.
Plays his best in big games. He has a shot to be a good NFL QB if he puts in the effort.
What have you done for me lately
My personal ranking of the QBs
for the Pats is different than the national scouting "experts" rankings.
1.a. Trevor Lawrence (JAX)
1.b. Mac Jones
1.c. Justin Fields
4. Zach Wilson (although there's concern about his "entitled brat" rep)
I'd take any of these 4 with pick 15.
I can also see a day 2 flier on
4. Kyle Trask for his boom-bust potential depending on his personal interview. High ceiling but low floor.
if we don't take Mac Jones.
I wouldn't waste a pick on
-Trey Lance even though he's ranked highly in this draft. He's a Lamar Miller lookalike & isn't for the Pats, imo.
-Jamie Newman or
-Mond.
Being honest with myself, I actually like Mac Jones FOR THE PATS probably more than I like Trevor Lawrence.
Why? Jones is a thinking man's QB, he studies. He's had to battle for playing time with Tua and Hurts. Competitive. Careful with the ball. Highly accurate.
He's at his very best in pressure situations.
Lawrence? His physical gifts are apparent. 2019, hell yeah. 2020? He wilted when things got tough.
What do you think?
