However, it's not like when Brady was throwing at the combine, scouts stopped and marveled. What you get with Mac, is hopefully the things that make Brady great, and that's his football IQ on the field, and really good accuracy.
Mac is never gonna throw like Pat or scramble like Watson. You hope that he will make up for not having those traits by being able to process things very quickly and a read defense very well and have great pocket presence. Those sort of things are way more important than having a great arm or 4.5 speed.
Listen whatever with Brady. I could name a ton of guys with similar attributes that didn't turn into Brady.
He's not even gonna throw like Joe Burrow let alone Mahomes. I have different values I want in a QB if I'm spending a top 10 pick on him.
if I thought he had a special pro day I would have said that, didn't think he did. That's all.
You definitely under estimate his arm though. It's really not as bad as you make it out, you make it sound like he's Shaun Hill lol.
Burrow's knock was also his arm strength, but yet he could still make all the deep throws and deep outs. During some of those games that I watched Burrow (i'm sure i even posted it in his thread) that he had some of the best pocket presence I've ever seen from a college QB. And I see a lot of the same similarities between Mac and Burrow.
And its not saying he will be Brady. People are comparing Zach Wilson to Russel Wilson because of the similarities of their game/size. Or Fields being compared to Watson. We've seen QBs with a great arm that can run, but still didn't turn work out. Which is not saying the comparison is not valid, because it could still be a fair comparison.
So if Mac is a being described as a QB with high football IQ, can read defenses very well, has good pocket presence / accuracy, a QB like Brady is gonna come to mind, especially when you look at their arm strength. So if we are allowed to say that Lance has similar attributes to Pat, it doesn't mean he will be Pat, but its still a fair comparison, but so should the Brady one then.
