Shanny needs someone who can threaten deep. That definitely aint Mac, he has been terrible this year compared to any expectation that he isnt a game manager.
His numbers look like dog s**t but I wouldn't say he's layed like it. Aside from Steelers game. That was horrendous.
Most of his ints were throwing it up to Parker wanting him to win one on one. Which really hasn't happened aside from last game .
You're saying HE can't beat man coverage. There was a stat I seen where NE last year had the least amount of separation in entire league. That makes it harder to complete passes versus one on one doesn't it? Also been stated he has no freedom to change anything at the LOS last year or this year up to this point. One of his strengths coming out.
Again he hasn't been great and you can't be turning the ball over. But he hasn't been horrible either. Aside from Pittsburgh game.
No matter what you think of him. The 9ers would still be better off with him over Jimmy or Trey.
The one thing Trey had on Mac was his running ability. Now the zone don't want him to run. So if we don't want our QB running give me the better passer. Which was my stance from the very beginning. For what Mac is or isn't he is still a better QB than Trey. We are still hoping Trey gets to Mac's level. A guy that gets mocked around these parts but we were HOPING Trey reached his level this year. Now in Trey's 3rd season we STILL will be HOPING Trey reaches Mac's level as a passer.
Which is ironic, NE has taken away one of Mac's strengths (his mind) by not allowing him to adjust at the LOS. Shanny was playing to Trey's strengths (running) now the board wants to take away Trey's strength (running) and play to his weakness.
None of it makes any sense.
DISCLAIMER: didn't watch MiA game. So only two games I seen was Pitt and Balt.
