Woody was preaching. Coaching is not about finding the right QB for your system, coaching is developing your system to the players you have. This is why so many QBs are thrown away.

[@hotohori69]

The problem is most professional coaches are stubborn control freaks with giant egos. They are convinced their system is the best and no one can convince them otherwise. They look at capitulating to a player and adjusting as weakness. Its why all the old college coaches are quitting cause they can't handle the players having any power at all with them transferring if the coach they are playing for doesn't work for them.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@I_Like_Turtle390none of that has anything to do with development lol…Dolphins drafted his college receiver who he has chemistry with and they traded for the best receiver in football in Tyreek Hill. The only question mark with Miami is the O-line. Cincinnati went and got Chase, who also was Borrow’s favorite target in college when every one said they should’ve used that pick on the O-line. But they went out of ordinary and drafted a player specifically for Burrow. Love was a top 12 QB last year working with slightly above average receivers. Like the original comment said, draft of 2020 actually brought in talent around the QB to maximize their abilities minus or in Love’s case, sit behind and learn behind a Hall of Fame QB for three years.

Why is it never Mac Jones fault? Did other QBs who had good careers ever have a rift with coaches and subpar recievers? Of course, many have. They just quietly put up decent or even good numbers until they got into a better situation. A good QB would have at least showed signs that he could go out there and sling it. Almost everytime Mac threw a deep ball to an open reciever he missed the throw. One of Belichicks main priorities for his QBs was to just not lose the game by throwing stupid interceptions. Unfortunatly stupid interceptions were Macs specialty.

I'm way late to this party, but thank you Dan Orlovsky! You're dead on about Mac Jones! At the very least, he was ruined by mishandling, and at most, potentially ruined purposely by a vindictive HC. IMO, Belichick is a hypocrite. Belichick expects EVERYONE ELSE to be accountable and team driven so, WHY ISN'T HE??!! I put the blame squarely on COACHING for the decline of Mac. Let's not forget Mac's success the first season: Made Playoffs @ 10-7 and pro-bowl alternate: That doesn't happen by accident in the NFL! Next season he loses a great OC, replaced by a couple meathead yes men, with NO Offensive credibility!... Couple that with head scratching uncomplimentary offensive schemes and gameplans. Add the HC undermining Mac's confidence by benching him after ONE interception in a game! W*F!! What other coach would bench the starter after ONE interception early in a game??!! Answer: NONE!! 3rd year under "sink or swim" duress with another questionable meathead OC, more inexplicable schemes/gameplans, and an uncommunicative dis-engaged HC!! Recipe for failure ONLY! Was Mac Jones at all responsible for his decline? The answer is: MINIMALLY! Yes, he is high strung and impatient. Yes, he lost the team by calling out teammates for perceived failures. Yes he was guilty of being a young immature player who was understandably frustrated in dealing with an UNTENABLE situation!! I wish the best of success to Mac and my personal apology. I am embarrassed by what my team did to him. He should have had a 4th Pats year with a legit chance to thrive… It's pretty clear now that Belichick is a brilliant Narcissist. He's the best defensive mind the game has ever seen, but he has NO respect for offense and offensive players, and NO respect for the Owner that employs him. He has repeatedly undermined what was best for the team while claiming otherwise. Sitting Malcolm Butler in SB 52 threw ALL Players under the Bus! How was that best for the TEAM! It's the HC duty to CREATE an atmosphere of success for the chosen QB! Ruining the starting QB consciously or unconsciously because he wasn't "your guy" is Textbook NARCISSISM! Belichick may have cut his football teeth under Navy Athletics, and he may THINK he runs a team modeled on the military way, but he FORGOT that EVERY serviceman swears an oath and is accountable to a higher authority. The Admiral or General, may not agree with or even respect The President, but it's their duty to their country to follow his orders and to NEVER undermine the MEN under their command. Belichick should never again be trusted with the HC position. He's borderline megalomaniacal, and a cancer in any position of authority. I would hire him as a DC with very minimal authority only. IMO, players were willing to endure the "Belichick Way" because TB12 ensured a legitimate SB shot year after year. Yes the defenses were equally important to the repeated success, but The GOAT was the GLUE that held it all together. When the glue dissolved, it unsurprisingly fell apart.

And he would be a viable option better than the guy they got from the patriots if something like an injury happens to lamar in the regular season. But the bears would have to take a lot of that contract and a low pick if they want fields off of their hands.

[@RobertBallz]

It’s going to be pointless for a lot of teams to trade for him. Fields will be looking to get paid.

[@imranak]

Drafting a QB is a crapshoot is only partially correct Drafting a pure pocket passer QB with no running ability is crapshoot. The only way running QB's have failed is if 1. They got injured (RG3, Anthony Richardson (for now)) 2. The had the opportunity to draft a arguably a better prospect (Fields) Cam, Lamar Jackson, Hurts, Kyler Murray all stayed with their teams for a second contract. Only pure pocket passers blow up in you face (Zack Wilson, Mac Jones, Trubisky)

[@ald7248]

Running QBs are *much* more likely to get hurt and have shorter careers (Cam only just made it to his 2nd contract before declining). With the exception of a couple guys (e.g. prime Russell Wilson) the Pocket Passers are the elite QBs. Higher-risk, but higher-ceiling.

[@roberthorton2081]

But after his rookie year the media was praising him..instead of a wait and see everybody just wants to be first

[@user-qi1ie2jp3q]

here is what this means: Jones will become starting QB and the Jags can go back to being at the bottom of the junk pile…Bright side? T Lawrence cannFINALLY go to a team that will become winners!

[@googlechicken]

Really? I didn’t notice.

[@damariokimble6817]

The media is funny they will admit the pats ruined jones but don’t bring up bad coaching when it’s true for feilds

[@floydwhatley9822]

Mac is going to end up being a profitable investment for jags. A 6th will turn into a 3rd pick for them in future

[@higherlearning5079]

What did the Bears do to Justin Fields? The Bears did far worse by him. But, no analyst is saying that. Why??? NO team wanted Justin and none of them are questioned for passing up on him, but now he should be starter in Pittsburg, because he is a top talent in the NFL. We know biases is used for clicks, but its being taking to far by those that know football. Stay honest and more people will get it and as a society we will be better. But for now there is an audience that knows better, could you just cater to them/us a little more.

[@normandomino4140]

They need to trade back to 5 . 3rd pick for Justin Herbert, a 2, 3, and a 5th in this draft.

[@warriorforwa]

Dan needs to relax with the QB coddling. It is tough but you can say that about any position in sports. Lack of support equals losing in any team sport. You make do with what you have. That is how you build a career. Sometimes you get lucky and have it all work out, If not you move on and look for the right situation. Great ones find a way wherever they are planted and with whoever.

[@christopherriley9372]

Why not bring Fields to Baltimore? He's skillfully made for what Lamar has proven works for the Ravens offensively. Plus the change of pace when you have to rest your starting quarterback is a young man who can make plays with his feet and possibly learn how to make plays with his arm like Lamar has grown into.

[@hernangonzalez8624]

Bro how is Flacco not back with Cleveland? Get him signed now watchu doing?

[@user-oh6sx7cp4c]

They already have a qb with a massive guaranteed deal

[@hernangonzalez8624]

@@user-oh6sx7cp4c who hasn't completed an entire season since COVID bro a competent backup QB is necessary.

[@darnell16player]

The Patriots sure did RUIN Mac Jones for sure! They set him up with a Swiss cheese offensive line, receivers that couldn’t separate from defenders to save their skin and also a nonexistent running game that barely showed up! For sure I feel Mac Jones needs a situation to get his confidence back up again hopefully in the future but he isn’t as bad as people say he is for sure.

[@blackanimelover18]

I swear it feels like ESPN thinks every QB is great and it's the teams fault why they suck.

[@blondegirlsezthis8798]

Shoulda grabbed Marvin Harrison and gave Jones what made him great in Alabama. Instead we wasted two years and gave him no weapons and then ditch him. SLOW CLAP KRAFT

[@ald7248]

Grab Marvin Harrison so that Jones can underthrow him by 10 yards?? 🤣🤣🤣

[@blondegirlsezthis8798]

@@ald7248come on that's not true as long as Jones isn't being rushed and experiences no tackles before the play in the game and had his breakfast he could still make a decent throw

[@wolfkingsigma2795]

He couldn't handle pressure - and was spoiled at Alabama. Couldn't deal with NFL reality. Made terrible decisions under pressure. Didn't know how to throw the ball out of bounds.

[@flaminyon69worq84]

Now Chris canty wants to praise fields after bashing him like a week ago

[@ald7248]

Jones might have succeeded if all the stars had aligned. But it's tough to strictly blame the Patriots for his demise when 5th round pick Bailey Zappe (who has less talent than Mac) managed to (however slightly) outperform him. Zappe's accuracy is awful, but he had better success pushing the football and was obviously less afraid of getting hit.

[@DMKFACTOR]

Hey troglodyte, what happened slow night for Uber eats, or did tiny give out from your 300 rubs? DING, go fetch your $5 loser!

[@I_Like_Turtle390]

Mac was avg at best.....even Tua and Hurts said it while at Bama.......

All Bama QBs are average

[@adriandunn1882]

Dan you were wrong. Bro was below average. This is just Carson Wentz accelerated.

[@michaelschaefer1904]

He had three offensive coordinators in 3 years.

That's brutal but it doesn't explain his terrible decision-making in Year 3.

[@melanatedgod5337]

They're not 3-peating. Unless the NFL rigs it again.

[@TkKirklandReal]

Nah they more so ruined Cam putting this man over cam Newton

[@TheyCallMeSwo]

Maybe some of these NFLowners should hire these guys as consultants. These guys are so right and the rich owners blindly let their GM’s ruin their teams with just blatant and cocky bad decisions.

[@tnyce616]

That walk on draft day ruined Mac Jones

[@mugandaje]

lol the only person who ruined Jones was Jones.

[@Benjamin-fc9ww]

False. You don’t give a second year QB a defensive coordinator as his coach lol they definitely took part in his regression.

[@bigdogstatus83]

That's just not true.
