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.

Jones is very accurate severely underrated entering the season but had 4 years to develop with very good QB coaching plus has elite OL, elite WRs, and elite RBs.
We have one All-SEC type player on offense right now. Tank!
Hamm if he were at guard could be an all-sec type but not at right tackle. Bo has the talent. Arm motion and talent is there. Back foot throws happen at every level you just hope to minimize them. Pocket awareness is poor.
It's not always just ball placement which Bo is decent at some of you guys act like Bo is throwing over the head or at people's feet. Seth caught I think it was something like 20% of contested catches. Is that Bo or Seth, each play would have to be looked at individually to know.

Hmm, is this the same coach who got rid of the superbowl winner and picked up Cam and Stidham? How did that work out?
Im not saying Jones is not good, but check the highlight reels of Smith and Waddle and get back to me with passes in stride comments.
Bo has accuracy issues, no one is arguing that, but better receivers would sure help.

Bo is a gunslinger. Always has been and always will be. He was that way in highschool. Problem is, he is not athletic enough at this level to do what he did in high school. Mechanically, he has always been flawed. Im not sure he can accept that and repair it. I honestly think he believes he is elite and doesnt need to change.
I would not get my hopes up that his mechanics will be be totally different this year. People rarely change. Id bet by the 2nd real game will play this year, you will see him rolling out to his right and trying to throw on the run many many times. It is who he is unfortunatley
