Agreed. Everyone is hyping up Mac Jones in the MSM. Mac just lucked out and fell into Belichick's hands in the draft. Mac is talented. Don't get me wrong. However, you don't think Belichick and McDaniels wouldn't have the same exact results or more out of Lawrence, Wilson, Lance or Fields? Not to mention the fact that they spent close to $140M in the off season during free agency to revamp the entire roster with actual talent?

No, nope. It's all Mac. It's all about the player. He's the reason it's all working right now in New England. It's not the fact that Belichick is probably the greatest coach of all time and gets the most out of his roster and coaching staff. Nah. All Mac.

This bolsters my argument to hire Josh McDaniels as HC. Belicheat says he's even learned things from him and his level of preparation is phenomenal. Sure, he was basically an arrogant kid when he fizzled in Denver, but one would think he's grown up a little and learned from his mistakes. I also don't consider it a mark of bad character to back out of an agreement with Robert Irsay, one of the crazier owners.
