Scanning through old tweets of Dave Bartoo's during a spat of insomnia. Came upon these gems:


quote:

im taking trask over jones

metrics clear that @MacJones_10 needs to stay at bama another year



He also says Ian Book is the only qb at the senior bowl he'd even draft. And he'd do it somewhere in the 3rd or 4th round.


Btw, these are a few of his other predictions from years past. I believe he bases them all on a stat called QB effect, which is basically equivalent to wins above replacement (War), or how many games the qb won in college that his team shouldn't have, based on team talent.

I agree. Who can dispute a guru?
Devote, Jalen, Najee, Alex and Landon should stay too.
Another year and maybe they could accomplish something.

This is a pretty loaded QB class. Next year is looking pretty weak. Jones would have a shot at being top 3 QB next year without TLaw, Fields and Wilson/Lance to deal with.

Mac is better than Fields. Whoever takes Fields in the top 10 will be disappointed. He's also better than Wilson and Lance. Mac is going to be penalized because he played with the most talented team. That's unfortunate.

So this guy thinks Ian Book is better than Mac Jones?


And we're supposed to listen to him?

He could stay in college another 3 years and still be a mediocre at best pro prospect.

He didnt say he'd take book over mac. He said book over the other senior bowl qbs like mond. Just cuz he says he needs another year ,which I dont agree with ,doesnt mean he wouldnt take him in round 2

Regardless of the opinion on Mac Jones saying you’d take Ian Book in the third round is obscene. But according to the OP this guy says he wouldn’t draft Mac Jones

In my opinion the only thing holding Mac Jones back, among stuff that is not essential to his core ability, is a relatively low number of starts. A lot of NFL GMs like to see a QB with at least 2 regular seasons (24 starts) but Mac only has 17 starts. I think the fact he was a 4th year Junior alleviates some of those concerns. He doesn't quite have 2 full seasons of starts but he spent 4 years in a program with good quarterback coaching around a couple of other NFL draft picks in the QB room.

Trask and Jones are pretty comparable in my opinion. In college, Trask's slightly bigger frame and weight allowed him to be a decent runner but that will almost be a complete non-factor in the pro game.

Dude,he didnt say it in what you quoted either.

I doubt he thinks mac isnt worth a 3rd round pick. Its dumb if so. Mac gains nothing from coming back besides maybe the class of qbs not being as strong,but nothing for his stock

What's to gain by coming back? He was so far along with his schooling and coming in with Tua's class was I'm sure determining factors. Kyler Murray bumped around from TAMU to Oklahoma to playing behind Baker for quite a while. He has that magical season and he was gone. Mac is going to keep surprising people by the looks of things. But at this point the jokes on everyone else.

And if he doesn't, you will still be a miserable fan boy sitting behind your computer while he is making millions while you go back to your mediocre fast food job.
