You realize, that’s sort of all the time been sort of his superpower so far as seeing protection and downside fixing and making the appropriate choices, so yeah, he’s going to be a problem and the factor that Mac Jones doesn’t get sufficient credit score for is his mobility.
“He doesn’t strike you as Michael Vick by any means, but like his legs he consistently extends plays. He consistently scrambles and makes yards, so you got to account for him in both ways.”
