Tough week for the anything-but-Jimmy and anything-but-Mac crowds. Ouch.
However, it's been a great year for them and a very tough one for those who thought Jimmy was a franchise QB or that we would take Jones.
Nope. Everyone already knew pre draft Garoppolo was a lame duck QB this year and Jones is already light years better than the mobile QB's. But that too was expected.
Most of those people only admitted Jimmy was a lame duck after we traded up to #3 and there are some out there that are delusional enough to think Jimmy will be here beyond this season. Before the trade, they were in denial about the rumors that we were interested in Stafford, Watson (pre-accusations), Darnold, Dalton, Flacco, etc.
Though, you're right that it was expected by everyone that Mac Jones would look better out of the gate. Nothing he's done so far has surprised any of the people that didn't want him here.
