    and Mac Jones was being shopped by the Patriots this offseason. No one thought Jones was a top 10 pick, unlike Stroud and Young.

    Skoronski at 12 and Smith st 33?? One of the best OLs in the league.

    Might want to look at the stats. Number 1 in the nation under pressure the past two year

    As of today Ian still feels pretty confident overall that the first 2 qbs will be off the board at 1&2.

    The contrast with Adam report is quite interesting though.

    [PREMIUM POST]

    Mac Jones has only taken the field for a limited number of snaps under center throughout his career as a quarterback, with a majority of his throws being directed towards Smith or check downs to Najee. Despite this, I still have a strong admiration for him as a player.

    However, compared to Bryce, Mac did not appear to progress through his reads as quickly. When examining the offensive teams for both players, it's worth noting that Bryce's year had twice the sack rate and significantly higher pressure rates compared to Mac's year (footballoutsiders.com). Additionally, Mac had more blockers per play to assist him in releasing the ball (secstatcat.com).

    It's important to acknowledge that different styles of play cannot be solely evaluated through statistics. On a separate note, it is worth mentioning that Bennett has also won a few championships.

    Furthermore, while Mac has achieved great success on the field, it is important to fact-check before stating that he holds the all-time highest QB rating, Grayson McCall holds this record.

    That’s why I said Mac Jones set the record. McCall came along later and topped it. My statement stands. You didn’t read well enough. Respectfully, you are simply not on my intellectual level.

    GOOD DAY

    Anthony Richardson is the main course in this draft. Y'all in here arguing over leftovers.

    "Texans are split in the building on Stroud; if they don't pick him, don't think they pick another QB. They kick the can down the road or trade for Mac Jones. Won't be able to get up to 1 even if Carolina offered the pick. Only way Texans will get Bryce what he has been told is if Bryce flat out says he's not playing for Carolina which won't happen"

    Kind of like how Baker set the QBR all time QBR rating.

    Kindly enlighten me as to the specific facets in which Mac Jones surpasses Bryce Young in the role of quarterback, beyond the confines of their respective resumes. I am eager to witness the demonstration of your intellectual acuity on this matter.
