STRENGTHS
Mac is one of the most detail orientated quarterbacks, I have ever seen coming out in a draft. He has a high football IQ with the size, accuracy, and arm strength to throw any pass needed with the correct velocity that will be asked of him at the next level. He shows enough athletic talent to manipulate the pocket to extend plays along with possessing the mental strength to stand tall in a muddled pocket and make plays. He throws with good anticipation and accuracy but his true gift is in his leadership qualities. His ability on the field to handle the different characteristics of his teammates and quietly demand from them their best standard of play is unique and something you only see from the best franchise quarterbacks in the NFL. He does this all without fanfare or acknowledgment from outside the locker room. If I’m an owner Mac is the one QB in this draft I TRUST the most to lead my franchise, from this group of quarterbacks.
CONCERNS
Mac just needs to continue to grow on the field and off the field and handle success as well as adversity. There is no doubt’ in my mind that he will.
BOTTOM LINE 1.27
Mac is a positive thinking person. At least that’s what I see on film because I have never interviewed him or interacted with him personally. His play on the field and body language, and the way he interacts on the sidelines with his teammates and also, the respect his coaches have for him in the way they approach him and “discuss” issues with him during a game, tells me this. That’s right “discuss”, not yell, not scream, not shake their heads in frustration, just discuss. He listens and he reacts to what his coaches tell him but he is also not afraid to go off-script when he sees an opportunity that others might not see. Mac is a fast learner and is learning and absorbing a lot this year from his coaches. The truth is, I’m shocked at how quickly he learns and then brings what he learns onto the field successfully. Mac is like that Dolphin that leads your boat through the most dangerous waters as it puts a smile on your face with its athleticism and tricks. You trust that Dolphin because of its sureness and “Pelorus like” direction to lead and you respect its intelligence because of its ability to quickly put you at ease with its athleticism. Mac (Pelorus) Jones will give your team its “Pelorus like” direction and his athleticism and high football IQ will set you at ease with confidence. I trust that Mac will become a franchise quarterback, the kind that makes the team around him better because of his athletic talents, High football IQ, character, and leadership qualities
