I don't know how anyone can say. Mac Jones is not a good quarterback.  that's absurd.

Teams don't simply trade away good young quarterbacks for 6th round picks. Sorry, but that just doesn't happen.

Is he better than CJ? Yea probably, but that isn't saying much. Mac is average at best.

It's fair to call him "average" but I just can't agree that his celing is "average at best". He made the playoffs his rookie year the one time he had an actual OC. NE was so devoid of talent and his development was so mangled I don't think he's even scratched the surface of his total abilities. I'd say his celing is Andy Dalton (which is to say above average and capable of winning some games but has some shortcomings and definitely isn't in that "elite" tier) and his floor is solid backup/journeyman.
