Lmao “he loses to Washington that’s the last straw”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

I can’t imagine what last year did to him. Two guys who had no experience being an offensive coordinator in the NFL probably competing for power in the org running one of the least talented offenses in the NFL can’t have been good for his growth into a mature NFL QB.

This article talks about mac being anti brad and anti clutch. Seems the writer blamed the Washington interception on Mac and not jujui wonder if Boston writers shoot up heroin and then watch the games. I think it’s time to move on from Mac but throwing every blame on him is lol.

Jones is a solid QB on a team with very little talent on offense. I’m sure his next team will find him competent, maybe even good

And somehow, his dogwater QB play is still better than what the OL or WRs manage

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can you believe that moron decided to throw a 50-yard bomb to an open receiver? And then, in the same game, throw a slant to the open receiver that hit him right in the hands?

Infuriating!

Just because your a good college player doesn’t mean you’re an nfl player, ask Tebow

Shit line, shit receivers, shit coaching.

Patriots: Why would Mac Jones do this to us?

Great article that has exactly one real example of bad decision making. Sounds more like the scapegoat planning for NE is getting underway.

What a great photo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Why would this QB whose development we completely botched play so poorly? (Yes, I understand he was never going to be great. But they didn't do him any favors).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mac Jones is probably my favorite Patriot of all time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Mac hit Juju in the hands marching downfield for game winning drive. He made some terrible decisions, particularly v Cowboys, but he’s not the biggest problem with this offense

Outside, too, I think.

Lets play a game,Of the offensive starters who from the patriots would start on the Jags.

I'll also take answers that swap out the Jets in place of the jags for extra spice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe just 1 or 2 offensive lineman. Douglas would see the field in the slot a few plays a game. That’s about it. 3 that would see the field. The rest wouldn’t even be rostered let alone start.

I remember not long ago people were mocking the 49ers for not staying put and just selecting Jones in the 2021 draft. Now both Jones and Lance suck and the niner get to lose a couple more 1st round picks in the process!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And y’all still got a franchise QB out of the deal.

Pretty simple, when you don’t have a good line, offensive coaching staff, or any real WRs, the QB doesn’t look good. How many random drops, missed deep ball catches have there been just this season. Moreover, having a WR who can actually make plays consistently either by winning at catch point or getting quick separation is crucial for good offenses. Think of how many more first downs and yards burrow gets because jamarr chase is special. Mac does not have a single wr who can win consistently

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well, they had Brady for 100 years so they had to come back to mediocrity at some point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thought he was one of those “cerebral” Alabama QBs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe robbing him of an actual offensive coordinator in his second season wasn’t a good idea?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget weapons and an OL worth a shit. He’ll go somewhere and have at least Baker Mayfield/ Ryan Tannehill level success.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mac Jones went from the premier college dynasty to the premier professional sports dynasty and shat the bed so badly their going to implode the program.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I get he hasn't been the best, but they also have nobody to blame but themselves for surrounding him with absolutely shit weapons for 3 years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Wanna swap QBs? Just for shits and giggles?

Who’s gonna turn out worse?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

For all of the apologists, go watch the tapes. I've seen more than one occasion live where Mac is just oblivious. I've watched Parker run across the middle with 3 steps on the DB and Mac wait to throw so late the DB caught up. I've seen deep passes to receivers that beat their man lobbed up so softly that the DB catches up. I've seen him lock on to one covered receiver while another is wide open, and then opt to turtle and wait for the outside pressure to come before it was ever a threat and when he could have even easily slid to the right in the pocket. I've seen him panic to ghost pressure and just throw absolutely terrible balls directly to the defense. I've seen him drop back and never try to slide up into the pocket and even go further back while the outside rush runs around the tackle. This kid is playing some of the worst QB I've ever seen. He is the anti-Brady, cannot overcome any adversity.

Lol they really love hyping the drama don't they.

[–] [email protected] 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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Man, they were gaga for him last year.

[–] [email protected] 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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"Infuriates" is such an insane word to use in this situation lol. It's not like he's making bad decisions on purpose! He's just an average-at-best QB.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh I’m sorry. Did you get addicted to GOAT? Did someone get addicted for GOATs?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Boston and the entitlement here reeks lol

We all know Zach Wilson is a bust and the Jets if anything have way more legit to be mad about but no one acts like he's personally insulting them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

“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?
