Yup, Mac Jones sucks.
And let me be clear on this:
I still much rather the three first rounders for Lance over Mac at 12 or wherever we were originally slotted, Purdy or no Purdy.
Jones is GARBAGE.
NUMBERS DON'T LIE !!
GO NINERS !!
The one thing I'll say and it's not to defend him, although I did at times here, but Jimmy didn't "fail badly".
Did he do some dumb things sometimes? Sure.
Did the offense make things look harder than it should have been when he lead it? Absolutely.
But that said, he was a competent NFL starting QB for us and
at times even really good. If he wasn't the Raiders wouldn't have bothered with signing him to that deal.
Nick Mullens and CJ Beathard failed badly in this system, although again both showed flashes. Brian Hoyer failed badly in this system- at least with us. He actually made it work for him in Cleveland.
I don't even know that Lance failed badly. He just got Wally Pipped by Brock. But at least we have the makings of something great in him.
