I'll ask you what scouts ask coaches/GM on scouting today's QB. Do you view movement ability, 2nd reaction ability as a required trait in your system to be successful in this league? And remove Tom Brady from this because he's an outlier. Mac isn't an athlete, limited in mobility & many coaches view second reaction as critical in their evaluation. If a coach believes second reaction is extremely important ... Mac is probably not a 1st round pick. Look at the 2020 draft ... The Chargers Herbert kid & Burrow check those boxes. Both extremely athletic, has through the chart reaction ability & are high level athletes. I see traits in Trey Lance of 2021 as well. No hate here but I don't see Mac translating well at the next level. It's a different game & a beast. Especially at QB. Perspective. |

No, he's not the most athletic, but he isn't a stone statue like Tom Brady, either.
That said, he's not going to be there when we pick at #28 ... unless we package and move up. I wouldn't mind that. |
