His offense is fine if given any viable talent. The problem is that bill as gm did nothing other than add an actual competent OC to that group this off-season. He left the porous offensive line from last year the same and they got worse at the Wr spot because they lost their best option in Meyers and replaced him with a guy that has a bum knee in JuJu. You throw in Damian Harris and Nelson Ahghalor leaving with only Zeke being added and you get this dumpster fire.
Overpaying for a stiff line Jonnu Smith doesn’t make you any better. It was like taking the cash and flushing it down the shitter. Just because they paid him that much money didn’t mean he was going to suddenly become a good pass catching tight end with a lot of production. He sucked and always has.
I guess we just define "reasonable" differently.
yesterday Jonnu had 6 for 95, I think the excuses for Mac are up. He won't make players better and never will
You’re barking up the wrong tree my friend. That’s his all time best game as a pro in terms of yards and receptions and only the 3rd time in 94 pro games where he’s caught 6 passes. He’s also got 17 pro games with zero catches, so he’s 3X more likely to not catch a damn thing than he is to grab 6 in a game. You’re looking at it anecdotally and it’s misguided at best. Jonnu flat out sucks.
Yet that’s simply not true. I get you have an agenda against him and want to ball wash Bailey f***ing Zappe of all people, but you’re letting your bias cloud your judgment. Zappe sucks. He’s not good at all which is why nobody claimed him when he got cut. Nobody. Now that being said, Mac Jones also sucks but just not as much as Zappe. The problem any quarterback is going to have with this team is zero protection from a really shitty offensive line, and zero quality receivers. Hunter Henry is a nice pass catching TE as a complimentary piece but he isn’t the guy to carry your offense, yet that’s where they’re at because their WRs are so f***ing putrid and talentless. You could get Patrick Mahomes in here and he’d struggle because they have no actual skill players on that side of the ball. That’s all on the hooded pretender, Cleveland Bill. He took a steaming shit on the roster on the offensive side for the fourth straight year in a row. He’s the problem.
Michael Penix has also made better passes than anyone I’ve seen this season. There’s going to be 5 quarterbacks in the 1st round this year unless Shedeur Sanders falls off.
Depending upon how bad a tear (muscle, tendon, or at the bone) it could definitely be a end of season injury. Bicep tear off the tendon is a very long recovery and rehab process. 2nd only to an achilles in terms or rehab.
Jonnu has 4, 5 and 6 catches in three games with his new team. He might suck but that's far more production/consistency in just three games than we ever saw here. I don't know if that's Mac's fault, a coaching problem or a combination of both but Jonnu Smith has been a decent football player everywhere except Foxboro.
How many times did we see Jonnu drop the ball? Answer: a LOT. He was never healthy. And him running a route was horrible. He never lived up to his contract, a contract I might add that everyone around the NFL thought was a terrible idea. And it was.
You get your back up in any post that mentions Mac Jones. It is very, very odd. But having said that I admitted that Jonnu Smith might suck. It's just a fact that he's been a decent football player outside of New England. I don't know what the reason for that was.
