Brady had a great o-line, great tight end play, wideouts that either punched way above their weight class and had that dwag in them like Wes Welker or elite free agents like Randy Moss; and a great running game. Mac has never had any of those.

Gee wonder whose at fault for Mac Jones

[–] westernsociety@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mac Jones is the kinda guy to eat a chocolate bar with a fork and knife.

[–] Velious14@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So are they angry at Mac for basically being bad or are they angry at themselves for continuing to trot the poor devil out there on game day?

[–] grilledcheesy11@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

All issues with Mac Jones aside he has one of the worst collection of players at the skill positions I have ever seen.

[–] despereanx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The same could be said about Bill’s decision making when it comes to drafting, personnel, and free agent signings.

[–] delpreston27@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This reeks of Belichick trying to pass blame for being 2-7 onto anyone other than himself. Has Mac made some questionable decisions? No doubt. I've also seen him make good decisions and put dimes on his receivers hands, only for those balls to be dropped. 2021 showed that with a decent scheme and serviceable supporting cast Mac can be a decent-to-pretty good quarterback. Absent that context these kind of evaluations are meaningless.

“They’ve been sold this smart, efficient, game-managing quarterback and they’re not getting it.”

He is from Florida and went to Alabama, how smart can he really be?

[–] ChienPo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is O’Briens karma for what he did to us

[–] grandzu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man, they were gaga for him last year.

How dare he throw perfect passes that get dropped over and over again.

certainly can't be any worse than the decision to hire Matt Patricia as OC.

Get it together, Macard.

[–] DontPMMeBro@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There was a clear number 1 QB in his draft class, but there was a debate for 2-5. The only "advantage" Mac had over Fields, Lance and Wilson was his decision making. Everyone claimed Mac was the most ready to step in to the NFL because of his decision making. It's been God awful this year... Like, he doesn't look like he belongs in the league

Patriots Org: “Hey Mac… what do you want for dinner?”

Mac: “idk, you pick”

Patriots Org: “Okaayyyy… How about Chipotle?”

Mac: “Nah, I don’t want that”

Patriots Org: audible sigh

[–] CrustyToeLover@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Now watch some dump team pick up Mac and do well next season

[–] lat3ralus65@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It has also infuriated people outside of the Patriots organization

[–] LzTangeL@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I can't think of another name on the Patriots offense off the top of my head so in that regard the Patriots failed Mac Jones.

[–] zgamer200@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not gonna pretend that I think or ever thought Mac Jones was/is some world beater QB(I think his ceiling was Kirk Cousins/Matt Ryan), but his failures are just as much on Belichick's failure to develop him and keep the offense's talent at an acceptable level as it is on Mac.

Mac is only in year 3, and is also on his 3rd OC(one of which was a friggin' defensive coordinator masquerading as an OC), his 3rd straight year of having one of the worst receiver groups in the NFL, and his O-Line has only gotten worse every year of his career.

Surprise surprise that a young pocket passer is gonna struggle under those circumstances.

[–] Sternjunk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Water being wet has “infuriated” people inside Patriots organization.

[–] baggio1000000@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mac Jones is the cornerstone for that organization. I hope he stays for years and years, and signs a huge contract.

[–] 1021986@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Report: Mac Jones’s decision making has ‘infuriated’ people outside Patriots organization as well

[–] InteralFortune1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If the pocket collapses by the slightest bit, he panicked and stops looking downfield and basically curls into the fetal position.

I miss that tall handsome winning son of a bitch.

[–] BinaxII@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"....something's not right..." No Shit

[–] MetroExodus2033@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's not good! Pats' fans have made excuses for him for a long time now.

[–] ProtoMan79@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’ll go into the season as QB2 with the Niners next year.

[–] Pokeman49@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mac's agents suck, he is constantly having fake rumors spread about him on here

[–] startupschmartup@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

“They see him passing up open receivers."

Yes, sure they do. There's barely been a patriots receiver open all year. There's a reason why Brady left when he did. The team thinks it can just draft/sign defense and win. The league has changed.

[–] rabouilethefirst@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They obviously don't care because they keep starting him even though he's been ass since 2022

Okay. They drafted him.

[–] moldymaybe69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

NFL has no patience anymore. People used to develop a qb till 25 as the backup. Now they expect them to come in and be mahomes in their first 3 years
