Belichick's decision to put a ST coach and Defensive Coordinator in control of the offense may have damaged Mac Jones beyond repair.
Biggest game of the year and they didn't let him throw the ball. Plus, he sounds like a clubhouse lawyer.
It's easy to talk yourself into anything. He's accurate and fairly smart. He's more mobile than people said he was. He does not have a big arm, but it's an NFL arm. So he's a lot better than he has looked and won't be out of the league anytime soon. At worst, he's a 10+ year backup who starts some. Nic Foles, Mariota level backup at a minimum. Which is why trading him this year would be dumb.
Take it for what it's worth. A lot of the time you say things like "he's more mobile than people said he was" like it's true. And you really have nothing quantifiable to back that up. And the numbers completely disagree with you. He has 1 rushing TD in 40 career games and horrific rushing splits. He's possibly the LEAST mobile QB in the league right now. But you talk yourself into believing that's not the case and you need to stop that.
Get real. He’s way more mobile than Kirk Cousins, or Jimmy G. It’s time to move on. That doesn’t mean he’s terrible. He’s just not the answer.
Yeah, the weather was not even considered when developing the gameplan that evening. The Patriots had a solid running game and good defense in '21, and I commented in this space at the time that I thought it took remarkable leadership and maturity for a kid that young and with his history of success to stick to the gameplan and not complain.

Based on what? You watching the 3 of them and deciding you’re right? Back it up or stop posting your nonsense.Get real. He’s way more mobile than Kirk Cousins, or Jimmy G. It’s time to move on. That doesn’t mean he’s terrible. He’s just not the answer.
Qb Rushing Leaders 2023 | StatMuse
Lamar Jackson rushed for the most yards by a quarterback in 2023, with 821 yards.www.statmuse.com
I posted their rushing numbers. He's not worst (or even close). He's bottom 1/3. You want to talk pocket presence/movement? He sucks at that this year.
This year? Like all of a sudden he sucks at it? Why are you wasting your time defending a stiff? But I'll give you he's more mobile than Cousins today.
Could there be a possibly lower bar for success?
Of QBs that have played every week he is near the bottom, there is four or five below him, that have less running attempts. Cleary using his mobility is not part of the game plan. Also, every QB above him averages more yards a carry except Burrow who is playing on 1 leg.
He was better at it as a rookie. I said it's time to move on. Acting like he's the worst QB in the NFL is ridiculous, he's not. Most of what's wrong with the team isn't him, but some of it is and he doesn't do enough to cover up the other stuff. There's no point in screaming about him like a toddler. There is no QB in NFL history that would elevate this team beyond mediocre as it is right now.
If you are talking about prior to the referenced game in Buffalo during the 2021 season, then yes. There could 100% be a lower bar for success.
At this point they need to lose. Tanking for the pick
I bought NFL Sunday Ticket exclusively for the pleasure of watching this ish show
If Jonathan is the answer, what's the question? If you look up mediocre, they give the New England Revolution as an example. That's Jon's baby.
Ouch. For a while here in FL, we were getting quite a few NEP games on Sunday afternoon, in addition to Thurs, Sunday and Monday nights. Sadly, I don't miss watching them anymore. I really thought O'Brien would provide some improvement to Jones' game, alas no.
Ok, I take that back, as I did not know this about the NER. Ugh.
We found a place that put it on in Dublin, but couldn’t watch for long. Painful.
