SMU I am curious as to your thoughts on Mac after 6 games relative to what you thought we were getting after your draft review. Your stuff is a treasure on this board by the way.
a few of the things you seemed to notice on his college tape that you marked as negatives, I find are amongst his greatest qualities. You noted that he wasn’t great with ball placement in college. I find his ball placement to be elite. I don’t have numbers but just from what I am watching, but I get the sense that this kid could throw a football into a coffee cup from 30 yards away. His throws always seem catchable and exactly where they should be.
His processing also seems to be very good, as he hangs in the pocket and goes through his reads and seems to make good decisions.
You also noted that his play, I think suggesting it’s inconsistent, is what you get from rookies. I confess to being a Mac guy, but I like what I have seen from him more than some repetitively bad decisions I have watched from Wilson, Fields and Lawrence(who seems to be improving). He may not have the ceiling of those guys but to me he has shown to be more ready than any of them.
I know it’s certainly a short sample size but Lawrence was the clear no.1 and should be, but after that it seemed like
Wilson
Fields
Mac
do you feel the league personnel would feel the same way? Do you feel the same way? Has Mac closed the gap on any of them.
I have been trying to think of a comp for Mac and I keep seeing cousins over and over.
The name that keeps coming to me is Chad Pennington. Most will say that this is unfavorable, but he was a pretty good qb when healthy.
