It helped him to have talented receivers, but would you knock Peyton Manning for playing on a team with Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Edgerrin James, Dallas Clark, etc.? I'm certainly not saying Mac Jones is the next Peyton Manning, more that I don't think supporting cast is a good argument against a QB.

Tua was highly rated coming out of Alabama and now he doesn't look all that impressive.

Walter Football contacted 5 teams about Jones and the following is the draft status of those 5 teams.

3 had a 4th round grade.
1 was on the bubble between 2-3.
1 AFC GM said 2nd round was too high.

Another team source said he's another AJ McCarron.

On a lot of sites he is ranked at about the 7th best QB prospect this year.

Not someone I would like the Colts to depend on to be their QB of the future.
