ChronicAndKnuckles Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Jones was one of my under-the-radar QB prospects this year. With the Saban-Bellichick connection, I'm sure he has the full scoop of what he can do. Jones is prototypical size and can make every throw, therefore he will be able to open up the Patriots offense.

Gugny Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 If Bill Belichick has proven anything, it's that he's a phenomenal talent evaluator and drafter. Mac Jones is going to be a superstar. 2 28 1
Warcodered Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I'd be more worried about Zach Wilson in a few years after he hits puberty. 1 20
Captain Hindsight Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I think Wilson is better but I'm not super worried about either. 1
DCofNC Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I’m not worried about either. Wilson is playing for the Jets, therefore, unlikely to succeed at a high level. Jones may be fine, but there’s nothing about him that strikes fear into anyone. Wilson has pretty elite arm, but hasn’t faced real competition and is going to, let’s say it again, the Jets. 1
Udubalum07 Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I went with Jones. As much as I hate the pats, I know BB is a heck of a coach. We don't know anything about how good the jets will be. They could whiff on the majority of their picks, and everything they accumulated would be pointless. 1 1
MrEpsYtown Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) I don't like Jones or Wilson. I am a Fields/Lance guy. I would have been very upset if the Pats wound up with Fields. I think Jones will probably have the better career when compared to Wilson, but he's going to have to be surrounded by a ton of talent to succeed. IMO he isn't better than Cam, and he likely never will be. To me, Jones is Matt Cassell/Andy Dalton level starter. I think he can definitely be successful, but he doesn't scare me. Maybe a Sam Bradford type ceiling. Wilson is not better than Darnold. I think he will get crushed and overwhelmed early in New York. I think it is a bad spot for that kid. Again, he doesn't scare me, but he could also wind up being a dynamic game breaking player. If they throw him in there right away, I think he gets ruined, quick.

Wayne Cubed Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Can’t wait to see Wilson’s cockiness/gun slinger personality and how that works out for him trying to squeeze the ball in against NFL CBs. 3
Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I'm never going to evaluate QB's again. Lol. I have no clue. I'de love GM's to admit that. Just draft one and build around him. I think the Jets are actually in a good position right now. WR's and a built up OL. I like what they're doing. 2
DCOrange Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I think Wilson has good but not great upside. Mac to be doesn't have good upside so I'm more worried about Wilson personally. Mac seems destined to put New England in QB purgatory to me. 2
gobills404 Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I'm more worried about Jaylen Waddle and Jaelan Phillips being in the division than Wilson or Jones. 3

uninja Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I think Mac Jones is going to have a rude awakening playing in the NFL. This isn’t the cupcake schedule Bama plays every year and then waltzes into the CFP and to the final. 1 1

DrDawkinstein Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Zach Wilson Mac Jones Tua lol Not worried about any of them. Actually pretty thrilled that there are possibly TWO Bama QBs starting in our division. 2 1 1
purple haze Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Jones is good in college, but he’ll be hunted down in the NFL. I see game manager when I look at him. Wilson is more physically gifted, but something about his energy is strange to me.
Rochesterfan Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I will say you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take and each team took a shot. I think Jones has the least shot to bust, but also the least upside of the 2. I think he reads and anticipates well, but he also was on basically an All Star team and he is going to a mediocre team especially in terms of offensive talent. Wilson has more upside, but higher bust potential. I think Kiper was 100% correct with Wilson coming out was not even as good as Darnold coming out and the Jets should of stayed with Darnold. I think the transition to NYC will be interesting of a Mormon Boy from Utah. He will not be the party guy, but I am not sure he will “fit in” with the rest of the teammates like he did at BYU. In the end - I picked both “bust” although more accurately - I think both play, but neither excels and neither becomes a star. 2 1

RobbRiddick Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Wilson creeps me out, he's like something from a teen Disney romcom and I'd bet my bank account he waxes his legs and bikini line. Saying that, he's gifted and though I'd like to laugh at the Jets, they were doing the same thing when we drafted Allen. With the right coaching and the right environment you never know what might happen. Of course it would be hilarious to see him fail so I can see the crying on gang green
