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.

His rookie year with the Pats was carried by a top 5 rushing attack and a top 5 Defense. That team literally won a game (against the Bills and not some scrub team) with Mac completing a grand total of 2 Passes throughout the entire game lol. One of which was in the final minutes.
