He's almost the Anti-Brady in the sense that he's so unlucky in crunch time. The first game of the season this year the offense comes out with Bill O'Brien's new offense and march down the field on their first drive until a receiver tips a pass that gets intercepted. The game ends with Mac leading a game winning drive only to have his receiver not get both feet in bounds on fourth down.
The next game ends with a desperation comeback drive in which Hunter Henry laterals to a lineman who seemingly picked up a first down but it was reversed after review. I'm pretty sure JuJu tipped a crucial pass late in the game last week that led to another huge interception.
And of course last year he gets memed mercilessly because Jakobi Meyers thought it was a good idea to lateral across the field and put Mac 1 on 1 with Chandler Jones barreling down on him as time expired. Mac obviously isn't going to be Mahomes, but with a few exceptions, he's doing what he needs to do to put his team in position to win.
