Yep. Truly a head-scratching moment for Baalke. What is the upside here? Why? We have a QB that did OK as a backup, that's all you can ask from a guy like CJ. What does Mac even bring to the team that is worth a dime? A pick??! It's wild to me. This is why Baalke is a turd GM and always will be. He really needs to ht a grand slam with this draft or it's gonna get ugly around here.

Mac Jones has a career QBR rating higher than Trevors.

I'm not saying I want Mac to start over Trevor, because I feel Trevor has a higher ceiling.  But if everyone thinks Doug is one of the better offensive playcallers in the NFL...I'd expect that if Trevor were to get hurt there will no longer be an argument that the Jags can't win 3 games without him starting.

The QB room has just gotten a lot better and it only cost a 6th round pick.    Good move Baalke.

Last season people kept saying an injured Trevor was better than a healthy CJ. I kinda got why it was said, but I didn't agree.

There is no way we even have to worry about an injured Trevor being better than a healthy Mac Jones. He's not. Mac can start a few games...and with Doug calling the offense we should be able to win at least two if Trevor can't go.
