Patriots/NFL 2024 Off Season - Mac Jones Traded to Jacksonville - QB Jacoby Brissett signs 1-year contract

[McGarnagle]

Remember how lauded the 2021 QB class was

Lawrence turned out good
Wilson is trash the Jets can't get rid of
Lance dumped after two seasons
Chicago wants to move Fields
Mac now backup to the #1 pick

 

[McGarnagle]

Mac is from Jacksonville so that’s nice for him

And if he doesn't work out on the field Tony Khan can just transfer him to AEW

Yup, kinda makes you wonder if we should draft Harrison and get a QB with the 2nd pick, and sign a bridge guy to train him, because chances are good 75% of these guys will bust.

I wish Mac all the best with his new team. You never know he could surprise a lot of people.

 

[Mione134]

Happy for Mac's fresh start. This team royally screwed his development. I have faith he'll get back on track. I wish him all the best.


Hopefully this organization, if they take another QB don't make the same mistake.

Wouldn't exactly call Lawrence good.

He's a middle of the pack QB who hasn't taken the leap yet. Still makes dumb decisions every game.

Granted his entire rookie season was ruined by Urban Meyer.

He's not bad, but there's at least 15 other QBs in the league I'd take over him.

 

[Mione134]

Hope Zappe is next. That kid is such a prick.

Darby Allin's new tag team partner?

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Darby Allin's new tag team partner?

That's a pretty great stunt

 

[IveGotToBeMe]

Perhaps there's a concession job available at an NFL stadium for Zappe because that's as close as he should get to a football field next season.

 

[GatorMike]

That's a pretty great stunt

And it's still safer than playing behind the Patriots' OL for most of last season.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Thank R'hllor.

Hey Mike. You sold on these QBs in this year's draft? Who do you want the most?

 

[KrejciMVP]

Good job by the Pats, put the jones era in the rear view mirror. Back to team first instead of me first. A back up in Jacksonville sounds about right for his level of skill

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

I dig the refreshing new thread title.

 

[EverettMike]

Hey Mike. You sold on these QBs in this year's draft? Who do you want the most?

I think each has a 50% chance being a good (or better) starting QB so I am fine with any of them.

Caleb highest ceiling
Maye highest floor
Daniels lowest floor (because of his size)

 

[LSCII]

It’s shameful how wrong Belichick did this kid. Flat out f***ing shameful. But that’s him and his bullshit in a nutshell. Complete fraud pushing team over everything except when it comes to his family and friends and his spite. The classic do as I say not as I do type of guy. And he wonders why he doesn’t have a job? Clown.

I hope Zappe gets traded and Mac likes the announcement post right back. Guys a clown.

Patriots pulled a masterclass in ensuring that Mac Jones never had a chance at succeeding. No quarterback prospect is succeeding with Matt Patricia and the worst WR room in the league.

 

[Mione134]

That's crazy. But he resurrected his career. I respect it.

Here's whats interesting. For their NFL careers:

Lawrence: 50 GP / 63.8% Completion / 11,770 yards passing / 58 TD / 39 INT / 85.0 Rating

Jones: 42 GP / 66.1% Completion / 8,918 yards passing / 46 TD / 36 INT / 85.8 Rating

Jones numbers for his career are right there with Lawrence......who "turned out good"

 

[DiggityDog]

Much more palatable than the reported $44 million he was “reportedly” asking for.

 

[BMC]

That's crazy. But he resurrected his career. I respect it.

I was going to say, good on him.

Sometimes you reap what you sow. Jones was a tool.

Its the arm, too weak for pro football, coupled with happy feet and bad decision making
