Why Chris Simms has Mac Jones ahead of Tua in 2023 QB rankings originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
How good is Mac Jones?
That's a simple question with a complicated answer. On the one hand, the New England Patriots quarterback ranked 28th among 31 qualified QBs in total QBR last season and looked like one of the NFL's worst starters at times.
On the other hand, Jones was hamstrung by a "dysfunctional" offensive system led by first-time play-caller Matt Patricia and fared far better as a rookie under Josh McDaniels.
