Probably afraid for him to take more hits than he already does. He plays injured a lot.

I don't understand the Mac negativity. If you watch the last game, Mac made good throws... Stepped up into a collapsing pocket multiple times to make solid throws. He had no missed interceptions like we have seen even with Tua. Mac is not a bad QB. I'm not saying BY is not as good... The rest are unproven until I see something on the field. Sims, Barnett, Coker and countless others were to be the savor until they actual hit the field. Coker with the most success but I'd take Mac over him any day.

I don't think there are statistics for missed interceptions the dbs didn't get or missed touchdowns the receivers didn't catch, but Tua threw about 62 passes per interception and Mac threw about 51 passes per interception.

26/33 due to so many passes behind the LOS.
Did we watch the same games? Mac threw tons of balls down the field.

I don't think Mac is the Messiah or anything I'm just not sure how anyone could come away from his 2019 and think that he's "not good". And I just don't get the Taulia stuff.
I'm very open to Bryce Young coming in and blowing the doors off and taking the job, but he's going to have to earn it because Mac is better than Blake Barnett, Bateman or Jalen 2018.

Mac Jones is tough as hell and it's pretty obvious the guys on the team really like him. He's gonna be hard to be out next year.

I don’t think he’s “not good,” but I think he’s a pretty average QB for the SEC. I don’t think he’s as good as Trask, for example.
At Alabama the standard is to win the SEC and go to the playoffs with the chance to win it all.
I just don’t see Mac Jones being good enough for that, especially with a Golding defense.
We need to have one of the best QBs in the country, which is exactly what Bryce Young is supposed to be, and what we’re all hoping he is.

My sincere hope for Kirby and UGA is a 2-3 loss regular season in 2020 which sends Merlins and Go Gator to Atlanta, followed by a down-ish year in recruiting (like the #12 class or something), and then another 2-3 loss season in 2021 where they don't make it to Atlanta again and reel in the #14 recruiting class, then an 8-4 season capped off by an inexplicable loss to FCS caliber Georgia Tech and another not top 10 recruiting class. Then halfway through the 2023 season they realize they haven't been nationally relevant since losing the 2018 SECCG, the talent level of the roster isn't bad by any means but is noticeably lower than it was from 2017-2021, and Kirby is in fact nothing more than a scumbag version of Mark Richt. Oh the schadenfreude I would feel.

I'll qualify this by saying I've never, never, been on the Fromm train. The bigger question for me is why this guy doesn't see himself as a 4-year starter at Georgia? His skill set says as much. He's never passed for 3000 yards in a season. Never brought his team back in the 4th quarter against an elite team. Every time his pass count heads north of 30 attempts, he comes up wanting. So where exactly is all this special that some believe make him a 1st round pick?
I can think of 3 recent Georgia QBs that surpass this dude in football savvy and arm talent. David Green, Matt Stafford, and Aaron Murray.
AJ McCarron, Jake Coker, Aaron Murray and such are better and they had the sense to play out their college career.

Fromm has the measurables the pros are after. I honestly think his production is a product of a conservative philosophy coupled with poor coaching and player development. I think he may turn into a huge get for a NFL team.

So did Ryan Leaf. 3 years is a huge sample size. He's never been a finisher against the better SEC teams, ever. He doesn't inspire his team when they aren't clicking. He's never been a difference-maker. He couldn't save his team from an average South Carolina team at home when they didn't have their fastball. His 2 losses to LSU were epic. His 2 losses to Alabama he again failed to score a single point in the 4th quarter or OT.
Frankly, if I'm a GM, I'll take production under fire against your equals as my first measuring stick. It's easy to get blinded by those 5* standing beside him.

I really don’t get this Mac Jones hype.
I’m not hyping him. I’m still very hesitant to say Mac could lead us to a championship. That said, you look around the league and I don’t see any returning starters that I would take over Mac.
Possibly Trask but that’s maybe it.

I hope Saban doesn’t start who he believes is the best player in Games 1, 2, and 3. I want him to choose who he believes the best QB will be in Games 12, 13, 14, and 15.
No one in their right mind could possibly believe that Mac Jones will be as talented around Iron Bowl time as Bryce Young would be if he’s named the starter from Game #1

Does he? 6’2” , 220 lbs, questionable arm strength, mediocre accuracy... He looks like a 3rd round prospect at best.

What I’m about to post will he considered blasphemy by some, but not only will Mac be the starter and be very good, he even does some things better than Tua. Mac steps up in the pocket and will hang in and take a massive hit and still throw a completion. He does both of those things better than Tua.

Maybe by some, but I agree with you. Cole Cubelic was talking about Jones earlier on 3 man front and he said that the thing that impresses him the most with Mac is how he climbs the pocket so well.

He's an adequate college QB, probably on the level of McCarron. Doesn't really have the arm strength to make really high level throws. Hard to fully judge his processing and decision making cause a lot of what's being run with him is basically one read that's wide open. I don't say this to knock him, there are plenty of programs that would love him as their starting QB.
My hope is that Young justifies the hype right away but I wouldn't really be upset if Mac holds it down for a while.
