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.
Call me ignorant, but I'm going to go ahead and choose to believe that if we don't make the trade and pick Trey, we wouldn't have ended up with Brock.
With Mac, he would've started immediately and probably would've looked decent enough his rookie season and taking Purdy likely would've been seen as kind of redundant. With Fields, he probably doesn't get hurt like Trey did, leading to the domino effect of Purdy getting his shot.
No 2021 QB and who knows. Maybe Jimmy is still here or we take Kenny Pickett in 2022 instead.
We didn't see much of Trey at all when we drafted Purdy, but sometimes just one slight difference in the process changes the whole evaluation.
