There's more then one play...just like all the other QBs

Jesus dude. Yes, because arm strength has never been mentioned as a concern until this singular piece of evidence. I'm posting a clip, same as anyone posting a GIF/clip of him making a good play and mentioning the positives.

Yes, but everyone on here already knows that he doesn't have the strongest arm of the bunch. We know he's accurate and throws a good deep ball. He doesn't have a noodle, but his arm is good enough to make all his throws catchable.

And on that play, it looks pretty clear that his footwork was off. Almost looks like a trip.

hahaha what?

So how does Tagovailoa regard his former backup's game?

"I would say he's a sly kind of athletic person. He's a more mobile Tom Brady," Tagovailoa told Yahoo Sports. "He's very athletic."

That might surprise some people to read. After all, Jones' athletic limitations — at least in comparison to other top QB prospects such as Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Zach Wilson and Trey Lance — are often spotlighted as one of his shortcomings.

But Tagovailoa didn't seem fazed by that reputation of the player whom he watched develop for three years. And during that time, Tagovailoa couldn't help but be impressed with Jones' intangibles as well.

"He's very smart, too," Tagovailoa said. "Not just on the field, but off the field as well."

And it's not just his personality. Tagovailoa indicated that their teammates naturally gravitated to Mac.

"He's a really great person," Tagovailoa said. "A lot of the guys, when I was playing at Alabama, they really loved being around his personality and who he was.

"So I'm thinking whatever team gets him they're going to be very lucky. He's a great player."

It would be absolutely kirazy in the webzone if ShanaLynch drafts him. I'm on the Macorkle bandwagon now and I'd be extatically Kirazy if that happened.

You could say he's the Jonathon Moxon to Tua's Lance Harbor

There seems to be a hyperbolic argument around here that people are lower on Mac Jones simply and only because he isn't "mobile" enough for designed runs. I was just stating my concern has far more to do with the lack of arm Strength. It was clear that he needs to hitch step and ball pat to make boundary throws from the far hash. Sloppy footwork = wounded duck = likely interception in the NFL. And this was with a clean pocket.

Definitely not one of his better plays, but I definitely fault that on him and his footwork.

Love the reference, very underrated film, just because it's a little teeny.

Tell me Kyle ain't going watch this dude and then interview him and be like There are times when I'm watching Mac, and I ask myself, "is this the next Brady?" I don't think that's ever crossed my mind with another QB prospect.

That interview is like draft porn...

I dont know how many QBs talk like that but I get the impression he knows exactly what the D is doing and how the play will unfold long before the ball is snapped (insert Goff needing radio instructions joke here)

Identifying the CB blitz and making the big play priority is something I think KS would absolutely love

I hope Kyle has a chance to talk to this kid and pick his brain, but at the same time I don't want it to get leaked to the media AT ALL. I'll be sick if someone jumps us by one or two spots to grab him and we later find out he was our top choice.

This video has been bothering me, I absolutely love that he recognised the CB blitz by his body language, but more than once he comments on finding Smitty (Devonta Smith) in a great match up.

We give him so many props for processing, but a big part of it is "Is Smitty doubled?" if that's no he already knows where to go with the football.

It's going to get a whole lot harder for him in the league.

I've also just realised that he had 3 years to sit and learn before starting, I thought it was only 2.

Of course he's the most pro ready! How better is he going to get?

He's got room to improve as an athlete. That stoner dad bod he's got going on can stand to swap 10 lbs of fat for 10 lbs of muscle. He could improve his arm strength with that and some polishing of mechanics, but I don't know if he can make the same arm strength leap that Tom Brady did from Michigan to NE.

That's about it, tho, for substantial improvements.

Maybe, but I'd question why he couldn't do that in 4 years at Alabama. Lance did 2 years at NDSU and came out a rocked up monster.

Too much time partying? Allergic to gym work?
