I think Mac is having a heck of a year.
But burrow did just as much "stat packing" in the playoffs as he did against the cupcakes.
Utah St/Northwestern St/Ga Southern: 373 yds/game 14 total touchdowns
Georgia/oklahoma/Clemson 435 yards/game 18 total tocchdowns.
Burrow also had 368 rushing yards to Jones -9
184 of those rushing yards were against Bama, georgia, Oklahoma, and Clemson for the "stat packing" crowd.

Best QB based on what? . Burrow beats him in ever category. Jones could have four more games and still need 8 TDS a game to match burrows td record.

Jones is a good player, but people who actually believe he’s better than burrow are either biased or complete fools. As I said earlier, Jones has ideal conditions in almost every game. He rarely gets pressured, almost never gets sacked, can lean on a dominant running game, and has receivers torching DB’s all over the field. I’d venture to say lots of guys would look good in his position.

With an OL and WR corps like Bama has it's hard to judge just how good he is, but I do believe he will succeed on the next level if he can land in the right spot. Going early as a QB is almost always a curse sans money on the front end.

Lol... so, back on topic, how about that 30 yd+ deep ball accuracy?
Mac is still looking like GOAT and has GOAT efficiency rating with best Yards per attempt since Murray.

He had 350 yards and 2TDs. If that’s the best you can come up with to tell me he didn’t shred everyone, then bless your heart

He has a heck of a long ball. And his 33 total touchdowns are a really darn good solid number.
Heck, if he did that over 20 games, he'd be close but still about 5 short of burrow's total touchdowns.
22 games he'd get there.

Mac Jones is a good college QB.
Here's why his performance this year will be forgotten in 2 years:
1) He's playing behind arguably the best OL in CFB history. 10 sacks allowed on Jones all year says it all. By comparison, Burrow was sacked 34 times.
2) He basically only throws the ball to one WR. Smith is his go to guy and he is not guardable. He was the best WR on Bama last year and he's better this year. He should win the Heisman and it shouldn't be close. He has twice as many receptions as the next guys on the team and twice as many yards.
3) The best passing defense he faced all year (so far) is Kentucky at #48 in the country, which is just above the likes of Southern Miss and UTSA. By comparison, Burrow last year faced at least 6 teams with better pass defenses.
So, best WR in the country and Heisman front-runner, best OL arguably of all time, and playing a schedule filled with terrible passing defenses, is inflating the perception of how good he is. I think you could take at least a dozen different QBs and put them in his position and you would see the same type of production and stats. He is a good QB, not great. He's a better prospect than Fields and Trask, but not close to Lawrence this year in the draft, imho.

Secstatcat doesn't show 30-plus in-air yards. But they do show 20-plus...
Jones '20 - 26 of 47 - 55.32% - 15 TD - 2 INT - long throws per game - 4.2
Burrow '19 - 41 of 73 - 56.16% - 23 TD - 2 INT - long throws per game - 4.86

All that shows is Mac didn't benefit from playing FBS teams like Burro.

Again, try to keep up. Burrow didnt "benefit" from playing the FBS teams. They actually brought his numbers down. How many times does this have to be explained...

I know. Its hard to understand and wrap your head around. It goes agains logic. Thats why he stands head and shoulders above the rest.

14 TDs and he didn't benefit
Posted on 1/1/21 at 6:51 am to EarlyCuyler3
Your logic is that because he played bad FBS teams, his numbers are artificially inflated. Thats the point you are trying to make.
The numbers show thats not the case. He performed better against the best teams on his schedule. How is this hard for you to understand?
I know its tough when reality begins to set in, but you'll be fine.

If he was as good as you say he would not have taken whole games off against anyone.
How did he do in the 4th quarter?
Mack was on the bench in the 4th for the most part.
Saban would not let him pad his stats like O did.

Nah, that game will be forgotten after next year’s. Too much outside issue with this game. Reschedule because COVID....opt outs the week before...no crowd in BR.
Next year will at least be normal again. This year just has a big “ * “.
