Relentless anti Mac Jones campaign under way in the media

Yeah, Mac Jones isn't a victim and outside of that echo chamber, Justin Fields was getting crapped on just as much probably even more.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the media says if Mac produces.

Lol

The media has been pushing fields hard and down playing Mac ever since that rumor about him going top 3. Its kinda cultish the way they have a hard on for fields after he looked like shite in the bowl game. Yeah he is fast and has a good arm but mac put on a show this year and to have them run him in the dirt is ridiculous.

The media will run interference for Fields the same way they do for Lamar Jackson. I'll give you one good guess as to why.

Because athletic QBs create highlights more frequently than pocket passers, and highlights are what fill air time. They can't say "yeah we know Lamar is a suck arse QB, but check out this sweet juke move on a play where he didn't notice the coverage bust for an easy TD" because that would make them look stupid. So they push the narrative that he's actually a good QB in order to justify using his highlights to fill air time.

That's not what you're implying though.

Besides Cowherd's normal nonsense and Ryan Clark just being racist, I haven't heard of any other criticism.

I promise you, if Lamar Jackson was a white guy, the media would be literally yelling for him to be cut or traded and calling him a bust. He can't throw for shite in big games. The Ravens have stacked receiving talent around him and he will have to produce at some point. Meaning getting deep in the playoffs or Super Bowl. Meanwhile, guys like Mac and Kirk Cousins are getting crushed for actually being quarterbacks.

Do you actually think the media will choose Bill Belichick's starting QB?

Seriously?

No but it is crazy up here. You won't believe the firestorm Mac has caused for NO GOOD REASON. It is obvious.

The media can't influence Belichick but the owner can. People have been saying the Bentley Jay-Z and Meek Mil gave Patriots owner Robert Kraft was in part a thank you for his help with Mil but also to influence him to pressure Belichick to start Cam and not give Mac a fair shot. Apparently Jay-Z has met Cam and he really likes his style especially his hair. I think they quoted Jay-Z as saying "A dude named McCorkle would have never made it out of Brooklyn, Hov!" (I added the Hov part ).

I mean it is crazy cause people up here are saying Cam is better than Brady for obvious political reasons and that Stidham is better than both Cam and Brady which doesn't make any sense cause there are rumors they plan on replacing him as back up with Jacoby Brissett, Joe Webb or Warren Moon. It is a mess.

Mac will never start this year over Hoyer (Greek Multicultural heritage) or Stidham (Greek Heritage, grandfather did sound mixing at Motown) for political reasons if it even makes it that far, but Cam is going out there in a wheelchair. You don't know the pressures.

I do disagree on Lamar, if he was white he would be called White Chocolate and have every endorsement America has to offer. Baker couldn't even think about an insurance commercial .

Mitchell Trubisky is basically the white Lamar Jackson and he was run out of Chicago on a rail. Athletic guy but totally inaccurate as a passer. Baker is an interesting story. He's in the same boat as Lamar in that he's got a very talented team around him and will have to produce soon in a big way. The Browns have a good shot of making the Super Bowl.
