Greg Bedard (Boston Sports Journal) thoughts so far on the QB situation at training camp:
Felger: It was obvious to you at whatever point that the operation of the offense looked better under Mac Jones than Cam Newton. You?re not seeing that with Drake Maye, or if you?re seeing anything, it?s that it just looks much better with Jacoby Brissett?
Greg Bedard: Yeah. You can?t even compare where Mac Jones was and where Drake Maye is. I mean, it was. I think it was one of the first red zone periods of camp when they were in pads and Mac just knew what he was going to see after the snap, and I don?t know how much of that was McDaniels or what have you, but compared to Cam, I mean, who look, we all love Cam Newton, but diagnosing defenses, making checks at the line in a Patriots style offense was not his forte. Mac Jones came from that offense in Alabama and as soon as that happened, I turned to Chris Gasper and I was like, ?it?s over. He?s going to be the starter?. And this was like, the first day of pads. Drake Maye, it?s not even close to that. He?s closer to where Cam Newton was at that point then where Mac Jones was.
