5 reasons Mac Jones is perfect fit with Chicago Bears
1. Missing on the big game performer in 2017
Let’s call this one a hunch based on past history. The first four reasons were why he was a Matt Nagy fit more than any other QB in this group. So, will Ryan Pace make a move to Mac Jones, if he is not the fit for SF, which may be the case?
To start, the use of collaboration and Matt Nagy signing off will go a long way. After disregarding John Fox to draft Trubisky, Pace now will listen to his coach’s input.
Beyond that, one thing that has to linger on Pace is how much of a layup DeShaun Watson was. He went to Clemson, was on a National stage, and won the National Championship. Mitch Trubisky took a middle-of-the-road UNC team to the Sun Bowl. Pace overemphasized that Trubisky brought up UNC, while Clemson was becoming a powerhouse before Watson.
I am not saying Mac Jones lit up the college world like Watson, but after passing on the national champion quarterback on the loaded team, he may be feeling the regret and urge to grab this year’s version. He discredited the talent around Watson and to overcompensate will discredit that the talent helped Mac Jones, who made winning moments for a game-changing program.
Just image Pace coming into the press conference and talking about the big games, and big programs, and not being blind to it this time around. So, while there is a lot of talk that Mac Jones will end up in SF, do not discount him ending up in Chicago quite yet.
