re: Mac Jones Impressing at Senior Bowl

Not gonna lie, I was one of the biggest Mac apologists on this board after the Iron Bowl and in the offseason. I feel vindicated.

Frankly, he would've led a comeback win if the OL didn't have a bad series of downs in the red zone before the missed FG. Anyone who thought he was a bust after throwing for 300+ yards and 4 TDs in his first road start v. the best defense in the conference that year was just being a prisoner of the moment.

I was saying he'd be the Joe Burrow of 2020 on another message board after the Citrus Bowl and got mocked a bit. He's not the same player as Burrow, of course, but I saw similar characteristics in how they approach the game that made me think he would only be better for taking some lumps in 2019. For whatever it is worth, I thought Burrow was going to be the 2nd best behind Tua in 2019 after how he finished his season in 2018.

My prediction for 2021 is that Max Johnson is going to go big-time throwing to Boutte (who is gonna be the best WR in the conference).
