Worse. Reports say he was missing guys running routes with no defense on the field. So glad Shannahan isn't as stupid as the media who pushed that garbage.
So a rookie QB who is in the process of learning the playbook and scheme, made mistakes on the practice field? Oh the horror!
It's ok if a rookie QB isn't able to effectively play catch without missing guys.
It's just more evidence of what I said all during the last 12 weeks of the draft run-up. Mac Jones isn't accurate.
Care to show us these reports?

An example came on one throw to wide receiver Kendrick Bourne in a simple drill with no defense, with Jones delivering the pass behind him and then seeking Bourne out to let him know it was the quarterback's error.
I'm sure Bourne knew it wasn't his fault.
You claimed he was missing guys running routes... as in more than one. Yet he didn't miss, the pass was simply a little behind the receiver. Here is the exact clip :
One observation from watching Mac Jones at practice is that he is a stickler on the finer points of accuracy.

He was behind Kendrick Bourne on this throw ... and if only the camera kept rolling, it would have shown him going out of his way to let Bourne know that was on the QB. pic.twitter.com/71xyO88KmR
Here is Baker in 2019 throwing just slightly behind OBJ
Baker feeding OBJ. Get used to this.

Kinda normal thing that happens at times in practice. Practice is where these guys learn, grow, develop, improve and work on some things like timing and chemistry. If the bar is to be perfect 100% of the time, even in practice, then the bar will never be met.
HE DIDN'T MISS!!!! HE JUST DIDN'T HIT IT.
He's not accurate. You can see it in his tape, in his pro day, and here now.
Completion % <> Accuracy
