Mac has been pressured regularly. He has an online advantage, but let's not overstate his protection.
Eli BTW was absolutely magic in college. What he did with that team was amazing. Payton likely would have done worse on that team.
I would take rookie Eli over Rookie Jones 100 out of 100 times. I would take Rookie Eli over every QB in this draft. Rookie Eli with shanny would be insane.
In his career at Alabama, he threw the ball 556 times and was sacked 16 times. Protection doesn't get much better than that.
Jimmy threw 140 times in 2020 and was sacked 11 times.
Mac Jones may "appear" not to be pressured a lot. Maybe he because gets rid of the ball faster then the pressure gets to him.
