Macksonville: Mac Traded to Jaguars
- Thread starter Ed Hillel
- Start date
This for me was the strangest part of the whole Mac experience. The most obvious thing in the world for him to do was improve his mechanics, yet he regressed.
I believe it was a high ankle sprain and that he refused the tightrope surgery. And while some people point to the second half of his rookie year, I always remember that injury and his immediate reaction to it when I think of his subsequent panic under pressure and difficulty stepping into throws.
I think it was the ankle sprain combined with Zappe winning games in his absence that really sent Mac into a career death special. He simply couldn’t handle pressure on or off the field.
He's not a Dope, he a Mod ... although he could be a hybrid, which would make him a Mope
Just like with Timmy Thomas.
Signed a guy who still has a Blake Wheeler shirt jersey.
The best part of this is he thinks he was popular and successful. Like New England appreciates his gratitude. The “thank you” departure gram is for winners who move on, not losers kicked to the curb.
Wheeler may be making a case for a borderline Hall of Famer. Crazy to think about.
Mac Jones feels comfortable telling the world he is a rapper because "he's not in New England."
He could have saved us a lot of grief had he focused on his rap career instead of football.
For a guy who had a 4.00 in Communications as an undergrad and a 4.00 in a Masters program in Sports Hospitality, he certainly communicates poorly.
Anyone remember Dave Stapleton, the Red Sox utility infielder? One of his claims to fame was seeing his batting average decline every year he was in the league.
1980: .321
1981: .285
1982: .264
1983: .247
1984: .231
1985: .227
1986: .128
Was thinking about him today when I looked at Mac's QB rating and QBR:
2021: 92.5, 56.9
2022: 84.8, 38.4
2023: 77.0, 36.7
2024: 51.9, 17.8
That pattern holds for completion percentage, yards, TDs, TD%, INT%, yards per attempt, yards per completion, adjusted net yards per attempt, etc.

Nice pull Eddie! Those are amazing streaks. Even better than Kris Davis’s three straight years of hitting exactly .247.
Per ESPN Research, Jaguars QB Mac Jones has now thrown an interception in seven consecutive games (dating back to last season) in which he was starting QB. It's the longest active streak in NFL)

They just need to work the last bit of "New England" out of him. He'll be lighting up the scoreboard any day now.
We need to see him with a top flight WR. Someone like, you know, Brian Thomas.

Four years in the league and still doing stuff like this. He's so bad
It looks like the DT was holding his arm so that the end could get in for the sack.
I lost a six-leg parlay yesterday only because I had the temerity to include the Titans over the Mac-led Jaguars on the money line.
That bastard.
That bastard.
