The Patriots were loaded? lol
Jones did drive the bus but he also showed more potential than Dak did in his rookie season, at least in the areas that really matter.
He did have the luxury of throwing to such talents as Nelson Agholor, Jacobi Myers and Kendrick Bourne.
yes, one of the best OLs in the league...they supported him by rushing the ball, they were 8th in rush attempts and 8th in rushing...they only passed 46 more times than they ran the ball....
Their defense was 2nd in the league....
they also have the GOAT coach at the helm (vs. Garrett who is at the opposite end).
so Mac Jones showed as much as Dak in his rookie year, or less. he threw 3801, 22 TDs and 13 Ints....vs Daks's 3667 23 and 4...
the team went 13-3 Dak's rookie season vs. Mac Jones 10-7. Dak had the one footed Dez Bryant, and the HOF in the making Cole Beasley (sound the horns) and a 34 year old TE dallas was trying to repalce for a few years in the few years before....not exactly much better than what NE had
so no, Mac Jones rookie season isn't better than Dak's rookie season..... and Dak took the great Rodgers to the brink in the playoffs, barring a last minute field goal, vs. the egg NE laid at the bills....
he was a bus driver.....potential if you compare rookie seasons is the same at this point. one has the luck of learning from Bilicheck.
you are allowing the current Dak and your anger towards him cloud your judgement.
