I’m sure Adam Schofter will be tweeting that for real at some point.

I think Damon Huard was a better QB than Mac Jones.

He started 27 games with a 15-12 record better than Mac's 41 games with 18-23. And his 61% completions and 81 QB Rating in that run heavy era is more impressive than Mac's ratings now.

I'd take Huard over Jones to be my QB in a game today.

Mac Jones really has to rank very very very low.

overall, probably... i was just looking at Pats qbs... he only took a handful of snaps when he was here, so i didnt really consider him

and honestly being ranked at the mike taliaferro level? thats pretty damn low

I think Damon Huard was a better QB than Mac Jones.

It's amazing how the Pats defense got outplayed by Huard twice and even worse Ray Lucas in 1999.

The Patriots have used pick #15 twice on quarterbacks in their franchise history. If Mac Jones does not play again this year, the first three playing season's results are creepy:

Player:_________ Games Started_______Yards_____Touchdowns____Interceptions
Mac Jones _____________ 41______________8,829 _________46____________34
Tony Eason ____________ 37______________8,712__________53____________35

By these metrics, other than interceptions, Eason was the significantly better quarterback. And he did this in an era where receivers could be mangled and quarterbacks were fair game to be mutilated, unlike today where the game is heavily weighted in favor of offenses.

Oh yes, Eason was horrible. What does that say about Mac? Please reply and tell me if the numbers lie....

I mean, I would definitely take Eason over Mac, no questions asked. As underwhelming as Eason was, he won some games and had them over .500. And that was on a team that was an absolute circus. Star players freakin' found in the streets high as kites, players involved with knife fights in domestic disputes. An absolute total crudshow.

I have to admit though that neither of them had any guts.

I might take Joe Kapp over both of them.
