In earlier news, Cam Newton recently got cut by the New England Patriots giving Mac Jones the green light to start week one of the regular season. In the past, QBs that have been drafted out of Alabama had huge success in the NFL but in the past 20 years or so the QBs out of Alabama have had minimum, to no production after being drafted into the NFL. Crazy enough however, three QBs are starting week one in this years regular season. This year is a big year for rewriting the narrative for Alabama QBs.
Coaches around the league have questioned these three QBs ability to find success in the NFL. Alabama coach, Nick Saban, is optimistic about this season due to the fact that the quarterback coaches and coordinators for these three teams have had great reputations around the league for their ability to find the strengths within each quarterback and built their offense around it. People can be star players in college but sometimes their skills struggle to match up to the NFL. It doesn’t mean they are bad players like everyone thinks, it’s just a whole different way of playing and some people’s games don’t match up to the NFL like they did in college.
At New England however, the Patriots think they have finally found their successor to Tom Brady in Mac Jones. Mac Jones has earn early respect from Bill Belichick which doesn’t happen often. Belichick has been talking highly of the Alabama QB throughout the preseason and has gained the opportunity to start week one for the highly respected coach around the league. Mac Jones has the type of character that allows him to have the ability to be an outstanding QB in the NFL today if he so choses that he wants that.
The possibilities are endless for Mac Jones and it’s going to be up to him and his coaching staff to determine whether or not his career in the NFL is going to be successful or not. Coaches around the league have said many good things about this young QB and his progress through his brief couple months of being in the NFL. So say what you want but this season is going to be a big test for not just Mac Jones but for all three Alabama QBs around the league that are starting week one in the regular season.
The summary here is good, Dylan, but way more than necessary. I don’t need a rundown on the Mac Jones’ potential. I do want you to comment on the way the story is written, however. That’s different than commenting on what you think of the Patriot’s actions.
Is the story objective? Who’s the audience? Does it use good sources?
