Mac Jones
QB
TD:INT is the single best one-number summary of QB decision-making, and Jones has only one strong season by that measure in five tries. A 1.34 career mark is below typical starter territory, which is why he keeps moving teams.
60 career REG starts, 12,741 yards, 67 TDs vs 50 INTs — a 1.34 TD:INT ratio that has only beaten the modern QB norm once (his rookie year).

Why it matters. TD:INT is the single best one-number summary of QB decision-making, and Jones has only one strong season by that measure in five tries. A 1.34 career mark is below typical starter territory, which is why he keeps moving teams.
Two postseason appearances, zero wins: 2021 NE WC loss as a starter (47-17 at BUF), 2025 SF DIV mop-up in a 41-6 loss at SEA.
ComparisonJones postseason game log
| Year | Round | Result | Role | Att | Yds | TD-INT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | WC | L 47-17 at BUF | Starter | 38 | 232 | 2-2 |
| 2025 | DIV | L 41-6 at SEA | Backup | 4 | 4 | 0-0 |
Why it matters. January is where QB reputations are made or capped, and Jones has neither a playoff win nor a competitive playoff performance. The 2025 DIV appearance is not a real data point on him — it's a mop-up — which makes his only meaningful playoff sample the 30-point WC loss in 2021.
NE years (2021-23, 42 G): 8,918 yds, 46-36 TD-INT. Post-NE (2024-25, 18 G): 3,823 yds, 21-14 — barely better TD:INT (1.5 vs 1.28) on a third the workload.
SplitJones career splits by team
| Team | Years | G | Yds | TDs | INTs | TD:INT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NE | 2021-23 | 42 | 8,918 | 46 | 36 | 1.28 |
| JAX | 2024 | 10 | 1,672 | 8 | 8 | 1.00 |
| SF | 2025 | 8 | 2,151 | 13 | 6 | 2.17 |
Why it matters. His career story is being read as 'NE peak, post-NE decline,' but the underlying split says something different: NE was high-volume but mediocre efficiency, while SF is small-sample but the most efficient he's ever been. Whether 2025 is the new baseline or a Shanahan mirage is the live question.
Pass attempts dropped four seasons in a row: 521 → 442 → 345 → 262, before a partial-season 289 in 2025.
RareJones pass volume by year
| Year | Tm | G | Att | Att/G |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | NE | 17 | 521 | 30.6 |
| 2022 | NE | 14 | 442 | 31.6 |
| 2023 | NE | 11 | 345 | 31.4 |
| 2024 | JAX | 10 | 262 | 26.2 |
| 2025 | SF | 8 | 289 | 36.1 |
Why it matters. The headline 'Mac Jones is declining' is usually told with yards, but yards followed starts: when he was on the field in 2025, his per-game pass volume actually peaked. That changes the read on him from 'fading talent' to 'fading job security.'
2025 SF was his best season on a rate basis: 69.6% completion, 7.44 YPA, 2.17 TD:INT — all career highs — in 8 starts before Purdy reclaimed the job.
AnomalyJones rate stats by season
| Year | Tm | G | Cmp% | YPA | TD:INT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | NE | 17 | 67.6% | 7.30 | 1.69 |
| 2022 | NE | 14 | 65.2% | 6.78 | 1.27 |
| 2023 | NE | 11 | 64.9% | 6.14 | 0.83 |

| 2025 | SF | 8 | 69.6% | 7.44 | 2.17 |
Why it matters. Three rate stats moving up together — completion, YPA, and TD:INT — is the strongest signal you can get from a partial season. The catch is the sample (8 G) and the system (Shanahan). The 17-game pace is real on this data but only as a 'what if he kept the job' counterfactual.
