I believe the difference will be the receivers we have this year. On paper its a highly ranked group...on paper. And not just one guy ala Seth.

Corch you have mentioned this many times and you are right, good receivers can make a good QB look like a world beater. By no means are our guys on the level of bamas this year, but that crew made Jones. Forget the acrobatic ones, a couple that stand out.

In the playoffs DeVanta is running a skinny post, corner a step behind and safety barreling towards him, Mac should not have thrown it, if he threw in stride its an int, so he throws behind DeVanta at hip level, who snags it in stride takes one gliding step blowing past the safety for a score, a thing of beauty.

And Waddle, how many poorly underthrown balls did he go up on a ladder to prevent an int and make a catch, knowing he was going to get slobber knocked (no doubt one of the reasons he went so high in the draft).

I think they will step up this fall and we will see a difference in Bo like (okay hope) similar to the leap Burrow and Mac Jones took. We can hope, I like the glasses

Complete load of shite. You think Belichik drafted a QB in the FIRST round who was "made" by his receivers?

Bama's WR group is elite, but Jones put the ball where it needed to be pass after pass. That is ball placement and accuracy. Hence why Smith was able to repeatedly catch the ball in stride with zero wasted movement. It's the difference between a 15 yard "completion" and a 15 yard pass that he breaks for 30+ more yards.

Even when Bo has completed passes, they are high, low, behind, etc. You can literally watch him low-ball receivers on screens. SCREENS. His ball placement has been below average and so is his general accuracy. I can't see how anyone can honestly gloss over this - it is backed by not only all of the stats, but by just WATCHING the games.
