I haven't watched Wilson or Lance at all. I think the opinion inside the NFL may be higher on Jones than the general public opinion. If I had a fairly talented team and I needed a QB to execute the offense, I would be looking closely at him. I think his floor is pretty solid.
That's a fair assessment but these teams draft for upside and Lance & Fields have more potential IMO than Mac Jones.
Mac Jones doesn't have a huge arm and he was in a perfect environment in college.
With that said.. He reads defenses and has shown the ability to use classic NFL concepts at a high level.
He's not super mobile but he can pick up some yards on the ground if need be too.
I like him but I guess i'm more scared of the non-mobile QB these days and their early success.
Who is the last pocket passer to come into the league and find success? I'm trying to think but almost all of these guys can take off and run.
Jared Goff was a draft darling.. I was not a fan but the media and draft experts were. Now look at him.
Side Note: I'm heavily biased towards mobile QB's these days. I just see them as less risky in today's NFL.
When 5'10 QB's like Kyler Murray can have success because they are just so fast it's hard for me to ignore because someone like him would be a classic NFL failure but not in today's NFL.
Josh Allen? Almost everyone didn't like him.. Poor completion percentage.. Yady yada.. But these mobile guys seem to find their way better because early on they can just run and eventually they gain confidence and figure it out along the way.
