5 reasons Mac Jones is perfect fit with Chicago Bears

3. Quick Decision Making

You did not have to watch many Chicago Bears know what Matt Nagy tick. He could not stand when Mitch Trubisky did not play on schedule and get the ball out of his hands with quick reads. He was quoted as saying that the quarterback has to decide on the “run” part of RPOs when asked why the run game was not being utilized more effectively.

Matt Nagy wants someone like Alex Smith, who he came up with in Kansas City. Quick, decisive, always in the right call. Hands it when necessary, keeps it when necessary, and gets the ball out of his hands and into this playmaker.

This again describes Jones more than most. Below are the times to throw for the top five QBs

Trevor Lawrence 2.35

Mac Jones 2.51 

Zach Wilson 2.81

Trey Lance 2.92 

Justin Fields 3.11

Lance and Fields can create with their feet, but Lawrence and Jones are the two who run the offense with quick and timely passes to their skill players.

Lastly, we look at the pressure-to-sack rate. This drove Nagy crazy as well as Trubisky often took sacks rather than threw passes away.

Justin Fields took sacks 25% of the time he faced pressure, while Lance was at 19.7%. Lawrence was down at 14.6%, Wilson at 12.7%, and the least sacked when pressured was Mac Jones at 11.1%.

He has enough mobility to create but also knows when to get rid of the ball fast to avoid sacks.
