What Has Gone Wrong in Year 3 for Mac Jones? | Kurt Warner x QB Confidential

[@angryninja87]

One thing that I noticed consistently is he's constantly going to his first read. He never comes off of it and finds the better match up. The league has shown time and time again that first read QBs don't make it very long in the NFL

[@lewchootrain]

Yeah it just needs to be a touchdown check down mentality that I thought all QBs use. Scared money don’t make money 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@666xDevilmanx666]

*That’s because he has ZERO TRUST in his O-LINE to protect him, so he tries to throw the ball away as fast as possible as not to get pummeled.* 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@garygarofalo]

@@666xDevilmanx666 Gio Carmuzzi had that same problem. Doesn't make it the team's fault. Zappe doesn't have that problem and steps up on all of his throws.

[@Re3VxRNxCLAN]

You can’t blame bad decision making on lack of talent on offense. He could make better decisions. Not throwing silly interceptions.

[@donywahlberg]

We will never convince the section of the fans and media who don't see this. They are quite literally lost.

[@lewchootrain]

Yeah he needs to take the sack instead of forcing interceptions. He also needs to not freak out in the pocket and know hey it should never be a high throw on a slant…ball placement should already be solved at this level…

[@ricardotakahasi8165]

qb position is super hard to play. Gotta figure out so much information under pressure and with little time. I like these videos, we can learn a lot about the game

[@tonypizzaro8919]

Our defense helped him out big time the first two seasons. We consistently forced turnovers to give our offense good field position, spiking his passer rating with easier scores. He's playing at the same level this year without the bail out.

[@JDOGFTW]

nah

[@JoshuaZ.64]

Thats what happens when you only focus on making the defense good

[@donywahlberg]

Hey uhh what if I told you that in the first 4 losses of the season Mac Jones was 0/6 off drives created from turnovers and 0/4 from drives that started in opposing territory over the 50?

[@Capital_Ideas1]

No, you're way off. Watch the all 22 on Jones his first year and compare to this year. Jones wasn't playing scared and seeing ghosts in year 1, abandoning the pocket even when there's no pass rush and making desperation throws when he isn't in desperate situations.

[@stephcurran1724]

Tua, Lawrence, Hurts, and Allen did not look promising after their initial seasons. What did the gms do? Gave them actual weapons and hired competent coaching. If I am Mac, I wouldn’t mind being a backup in SF. At least Kyle Shanahan CARES about offense

[@DMoney0413]

Mac has been provided decent players to throw to over the last 2 seasons and yet he's still bad.

[@mariomanningfan]

Hunter Henry is a top 5 TE. Schuster is a number 1 on many teams around the league. Mac Jones WAS having pro bowl seasons with this same group. So its not the people around him. It's either he got stuck in the quagmire that is rotating OCs and playbooks. Or as warner says, he's lost his focus. I would believe warner. Confusion about the new scheme doesn't make you throw to a guy's back shoulder when the ball should be in front. Or make you float a pass over his helmet that should be at his mid section. The knock on Mac Jones coming out of school was "yeah he's smart and accurate, but he can't throw more than 20 yards." Now he's regressed to where we can't even talk about his arm strength because he can't make any throw

[@dasani9227]

@@mariomanningfanbros O line was so bad he got the jitters and everytime his O line broke down he panics out of habit after the 2022 season. When gronk said Mac needed a new restarted he really did

[@stpaulisland]

At 17:56, why is the running back not holding his own by blocking? They already have four players receiving. Mac Jones is already sacked a bunch of times this season and is probable a little shell shocked at this point. Why not stay back and block, give him some more time, to make a decent throw?

[@mp_3487]

Besides the patriots defense being less this year. Something definitely happened with him cuz some reading/decisions are questionable And arguably coaching. Pick him up instead of waiting on him to make the play

[@JDOGFTW]

Belicheck?

[@garygarofalo]

His stats were roughly the same last year and the last 5 games of his rookie year. He's never been good outside of the first 10 games where the whole league acknowledged his "training wheels"

[@dantheman8152]

He will be a backup next year. He can stick around the league as a journeyman

[@666xDevilmanx666]

[@brucehartman7605]

Here it is… Go back to the injury, when he screamed and cried like a 3 year old… he became afraid to play and lost 17 games out of 24… he quit, but wanted the pats to bench

[@Spencahhhhh]

Hope Pats fans are excited for Drake Maye

[@JDOGFTW]

Because Burrs are drafting Caleb

[@chesscomsupport8689]

I look forward to the Drake-related wordplay.

[@joevasconcelos3409]

He’s thrown 12 picks in as many 11 games, not even counting his fumbles. Just by himself he has blown 2-3 games

[@JB-sv5pr]

He’s the intel god every opposing team dreams of playing against

[@bp9884]

Throughout the season Mac has missed open crossers on blitzes like at 13:40

[@williamloenhorst5805]

Sounds like he needs a proper quarterback coach to help him

[@donywahlberg]

Like Santa coming down the chimney here is Kurt to make sense of all the madness.

[@stpaulisland]

At 19:13, the receiver should have caught this ball. The old saying in football, if you touch the ball you need to catch the ball. I think at this point, the blame should not be on all Mac Jones shoulders.

[@Dude-etiquette]

Wow one example where it’s receivers fault. 95% it’s Mac and his horrible abilities.

[@Dude-etiquette]

Why don’t you provide comments on all the other examples?

[@DMoney0413]

There are exceptions to that old saying, jumping/diving. If you actually watch the play the ball is overthrown and the receiver has to jump to even make contact. So the blame is still on Mac.

[@stpaulisland]

@@DMoney0413So receivers are not to jump up to catch the football? They are to only catch the football when running flat footed? Yup we’re winning with Zappe I see.

[@DMoney0413]

@@stpaulisland that saying is for when a receiver is in motion with feet on the ground. There's significantly more control involved, if a receiver is jumping on a normal route it's because the ball is either intentionally thrown a bit higher or because the ball is overthrown, same goes for diving. In those situations there's very little control the receiver has to make adjustments. The fact you even questioned my comment shows your lack of knowledge of that saying.

[@elizabethgodfrey1033]

Mac Jones wasn’t ready in 2021! Defense carried him & covered up His many weaknesses! He had 22 TDs in 17 games in 2021, with many turnovers! Cam Newton had 21 total tds in 15 games & less turnovers. Cam Newton had 3Xs much less weapons in 2020, & he had Covid. Cam is 7-8 with 3 very close games in 2020! Mac should have waited before being QB1!

[@Tylnorton]

22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for a rookie QB isn't that bad.

[@AthosRac]

He is still the best the Patriots have.

[@niyidelano]

I have never played football in my life, but I have played a lot of Madden, and I watch a lot of NFL all 22 tape. This is just bad football. On numerous occasions, you see before the ball is snapped, there are favorable numbers based on the way the defense is aligned and dude keeps going to were he has a disadvantage. Also, I am guessing Mac doesn't have the ability to change the his receiver's routes. On the last play, seeing how the Defense was aligned, I would have had my RB stay in to block, and the most inside receiver/TE, I would have him run a quick out while the other 2 ousite receivers take the DBs covering them deep. Because of the way the LB is aligned off covering, the Receiver/TE gets open fast, and wouldn't have someone to tackle him for at least 10 yards. I don't know if it's ego on the coaching side, where they say, just run what I call, but just from the plays Kurt highlighted, these could have been big plays if you read the D properly before each snap. With all the off coverage the Giants were playing, I could easily read them. Bad on Mac, and bad on the OC.

[@koodigocrxzy465]

The concept you just mentioned not only would be taken away by cover 3 with the strongside safety curl taking the clear and the weakside safety taking the post, but you would also have a runnibsck possibly on a 1v1 pass pro rep with only 4 rushers. There aren’t calls against presnap looks that work every time so it’s schematically disingenuous to retroactively say a different concept would have worked against s presnap pic that can roll into any thing except man unless the trust their SS with their slot

[@666xDevilmanx666]

*HE HAS ZERO TIME TO “THINK”, & THAT IS WHAT HE’S GOOD AT!!* *SHITTY O-LINE = “BROKEN MAC”* 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@JDOGFTW]

a wheel with a blitz really bill? LMAO!

[@iiTsFaded_]

I’m so sick of the whole “Mac’s fault this, Mac’s fault that, bill’s fault this bill’s fault that”. He needs WEAPONS. Not washed receivers that you overpaid just cause you thought they’d look good in navy. Get MHJ, get ACTUAL TALENT, bolster the O-line and then you can decide if he’s the answer.

[@C_Ase_Ce]

3rd yil and they still ain't gotten those things for him. Who's responsible for getting him those things? Oh but it's not his fault either. Who gave him 2 DCs as OCs in year 2?

[@roberthussey595]

I don’t think that Marvin Harrison Jr. will last to the 3rd pick .. It looks like Chicago and Arizona will be ahead of New England

[@daniel-eg2oq]

Where’s juju been he has talent

[@JB-sv5pr]

He throws the ball how is it now his fault ?

[@C_Ase_Ce]

@@JB-sv5pr Well because if you knew football then you'd know that the worst thing for a young QB is to give him a different offense every year. You'd also know that to learn from a bunch of different coaches can be devastating on the mental aspect of football. Then on top of that he's learning from not 1 but 2 different coaches and neither no what the hell they're doing as they're DCs not OCs. You'd also know that when you're OL is bad it also has an effect on how you play as a QB. All of those things can create terrible habits and those are the hardest to get rid of. On top of all that he has absolutely no receivers to throw to, I mean I could get guys off the street to play better than what he's got.

[@JDOGFTW]

Oh bill your so done.

Ju Ju has been a complete NO SHOW. Parker doesn't run nor attack the ball as a route runner at his older age, but he's the only receiver who can compete vertically. Demario who is now hurt is the only X receiver who can create separation, while the rest are basically MIA. Recipe for disaster.
