Since his time at Alabama, I’ve been captivated by the idea of Mac Jones leading an NFL team as an efficient game manager—one who excels at it. He possesses elite processing skills, effectively manipulates defensive backs with his gaze, and has a beautiful deep ball, making him a potential top-tier starting QB in the league.
I firmly believe that Mac Jones is on track for a lengthy career as an NFL starting quarterback.
Proposed Trade
- Raiders Receive: QB Mac Jones
- Jaguars Receive: 2025 3rd Round Pick
This article highlights the connection between a quarterback who some regarded as “washed” and his potential as a vital component of a championship-contending team.
During the preseason, Jones completed 38 of 52 passes (73.1%) for 421 yards, 20 rushing yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions, earning a passer rating of 116.0.
While the Raiders have Gardner Minshew as their starting QB, does that inspire much confidence for their future? Fans had high hopes for Aidan O’Connell, comparing him to Tom Brady, but he hasn’t been given a chance to start.
The Jacksonville Jaguars seem satisfied with Trevor Lawrence as their franchise QB. While having a solid backup is important, they could benefit from trading Jones, who is on a one-year deal.
With the Raiders’ location in Las Vegas, time isn’t on their side. They can either pursue a star QB like Dak Prescott, settle for mediocrity this year and aim for a top pick in the 2025 draft, or trade for Mac Jones, who could help them succeed now while also being a potential franchise QB.
