If Josh McD had stayed in NE, both Mac and Bill might still be there. Bad outcome for all three.

[@sinocte]

At this point, you have to think that McDaniels will never figure out how to get out of his own way. It's almost impressive how he apparently learned NOTHING from his time in Denver, and did the exact same dumb things with the Raiders.

[@clarkkent1521]

Like Belichick, McDaniels was only successful when he had Tom.

[@michaelcoletta4547]

​@@sinocte No argument there... but I'll give him credit for making Mac look better than he really was. He's really not a bad offensive coordinator. He will get another job, just never as a head coach.

[@michaelcoletta4547]

​@@clarkkent1521 Not true... he was the worst head coach ever, but had some level of success as an offensive coordinator even with Matt Cassel and Mac Jones (who looked better as a rookie in McDaniels' system than he even came close to looking ever again).

[@clarkkent1521]

@@michaelcoletta4547 Not really a flex to say McDaniels coached Mac better than Patricia and Judge. The 2008 Matt Cassel season, 11-5 sounds goods if you only look at those numbers, but they missed the playoffs meaning at least 6 teams performed better than them in the conference. They also had the 28th hardest schedule which is a big reason why they were able to get 11 wins. Compare that to 2007 with the 8th hardest schedule and 2009 with the 4th hardest schedule. If Cassel started any other year he doesn't even win 8 games.

[@TheAireaidLord]

It's sad how the Patriots failed him. Belichick is to blame for surrounding him with garbage talent and constantly changing his OC. But it's also on Mac. His attitude sucked as things went downhill. I understand how shitty it was, but the constant outbursts and bitching started wearing on me. He also showed no improvements or awareness. He was mentally in his own head all of last year which led to all those picks. He had 1 game all year that was a stellar performance and besides that looked pitiful. Going into last year I was his biggest supporter, but now I'm just happy that the rug and everything else has been ripped up. New coach new QB. I'm ready for what's next

[@PlyrMava.]

Mac is total garbage. Good riddance

[@TedTucholski]

And the NE offense had NO O-line and NO wide receivers.

[@davidlrogers]

yeah it's sort of frustrating that now all the sudden they're going to finally address those and put a better team around whoever they draft. as a Pats fan, i hope Mac is able to figure it out and show NE that they fucked up. love Bill and i think he tried to piece it back together last year but it was too late; he was trying to build a defense that could carry the offense, and just run the ball, similar formula to the first Pats dynasty, but it was just too little too late. we knew the issues going into the season and he didn't address them. there are other issues, too, losing coaches, scouts, executives etc., and ownership that was increasingly undermining his authority (going behind his back to work with Mayo), but the buck stops with Bill.

[@Tsepete]

What does that have to do with that horrific throw in Germany? Or those terrible throws vs the Cowboys, Saints, Raiders and much more. Go back and watch and you will see clean pockets by NFL standards. Terrible throws that cost the team. Interceptions in over 80% of the games when taking a sack or throwing the ball away could have won some of those games. Miss us with that regurgitated no weapons argument. It doesn't excuse the bad decisions.

[@clarkkent1521]

​​@@TsepeteLet's say you are a regular person working for a company. Not only do they not care about you, they hire two managers that have idea what they are doing and you have to do what they say. They also hire employees to work along side you that you depend on, but they are making your job more difficult. You can't quit and find another job because you are contractually obligated to work there. You are probably going to stop caring and start making a lot of basic mistakes. A lot of people hate their job and stop caring with a lot less than what Mac had to go through. And don't forget the most egotistical COO you've ever seen.

[@Tsepete]

@@clarkkent1521 To say Patricia had no idea what he was doing is crazy considering he started his coaching career on offense. He coached offense at both college and professional levels. Just like McDaniels started on defense. The media programmed you to think coaches cannot comprehend the other side of the ball. Even as DC and HC he still had to understand how offense works for him to game plan in addition to his past experience. And offense looked way better when he was calling plays vs when the "real" OC came along. As for Mac, even if all your points were accurate he is still to blame. I have a better analogy. Imagine a pilot who gets rattled and starts to make mistakes because of issues caused by poor maintenance and management. Even if its not his fault, would you want him flying any plane youre on? The point is Mac Jones is not mentally tough enough to be a starting NFL QB. Many successful QBs still made the right decision on game day even though their situations were crappy. No excuses.

[@clarkkent1521]

@@Tsepete If it's not the pilot's fault, it's not the pilot's fault. The only reason people would be hesitant to hire that pilot is because he is now associated with something negative, even though it wasn't his fault at all. Someone who is falsely accused of rape will always have that association of rape with him, even though he didn't do it. The mishandling by others can forever ruin a person's life that didn't do anything wrong. The school to prison pipeline. If you treat a person like a criminal, they may grow up to be a criminal. And Patricia's highest offensive rank was assistant o-line coach for one year. Not really a stellar offensive resume.

[@brianmacadam4793]

Bradshaw has stated how he needed a more supportive coach than what he got. Bradshaw worked out, will Jones recover ?

[@TheAcgtrs]

The worst thing that happened to Mac, was Josh McDaniel taking the job in Vegas. The loss of continuity which followed, completely destroyed his potential. 4 coordinators in 3 seasons, that would destroy most any young player.

Lance, Jones and Fields *might* still have a chance to develop into decent starters. No guarantees, of course, but I don't think we can close the book on them after 3 years. Especially with Jones and Fields being bad situations. Wilson, on the other hand, just looks like a 7th rounder who accidentally got selected overall. (That might ultimately apply to Lance, too)

Absolutely Correct

[@gwynnblade9160]

Very sad indeed how he was failed by the organization, and it happens to so many players. The lazy take is to say he sucks, but the nuance is he looked great his first year with a solid offensive staff, and was set up to fail his second year with the joke of an offensive staff assembled by the team.

I love the praise for Christian Kirk. Had him on a fantasy team when he was in Arizona and damn I am a fan lol, totally in his corner on him being a sneaky good receiver

[@elizabethgodfrey1033]

IMO, Mac Jones could’ve help push Cam Newton out too quick. Bill B said Cam was the Starter up until the day b4 they brutally cut him on last cut day after he was re-signed. Cam wasn’t as bad as the Boston Media depicted him, & not all of his total work was never reported to ESPN. The ESPN representatives didn’t help Cam like they did Mac . Cam won 7-8, 66% completion, 3200 total yds, & had 21 total tds. Cam also broke records, as a Patriot & tied a Rushing td record of 12 held by Plunkett. He is 1st QB to have a Receiving td, won the 2020, Boston Media Award for his untiring dedication, 1st Black QB1 to be the Starter for an entire year, etc. Boston Media was mad Brady left, so they took a lot of their anger out on Cam. Cam inherited a team from Bray with: 8 opt outs, only 1 top receiver, no TEnds, 4 top players got hurt, Covid outbreak, etc. Cam signed mid July, 2020. He had no Preseason or Training Camp. He had only 5 wks to get ready for season opening in September. Cam did well considering the disaster he got and the 1st to follow Brady. Bill gave Cam mostly a Practice Squad to replace injured players. Cam got resigned in March, 2021. The team got 170 Million upgrade in Weapons. Kraft said Cam never got a fair chance. He would get them in yr 2. Kraft changed his mind, & switched all of them to Mac. The competition was the biggest HOAX

[@elizabethgodfrey1033]

..! Mac Jones got 3Xs more chances to play in practice & in the Preseason. Cam held to it that Mac Jones never did beat him. It was never even. Cam said he saw the trend of how it was set for Mac . Boston Media wrote up Mac beat Cam. It’s recorded in top records, but it’s false, & a hoax.. As a fan, I’m proud of how Cam handle it all. He didn’t throw nobody under the bus, Patriots nor Mac Jones. I hope he continues to do it, too. 💕❤️💕🙏☮️

Rich still acting like the Jets signing Rodgers meant that Wilson would never have to start as if Rodgers is a 40-year-old lunatic LMFAO If Josh McD had stayed in NE, both Mac and Bill might still be there. your bad outcome for all three. Mac just needs a coach who understands the offense, Billy wasn’t that guy What a historically bad QB class: Zach Wilson (sucked, trying to get replaced by Caleb Williams traded) and Davis Mills (sucked, backup) Trey Lance (got hurt, replaced by, and traded) Kyle Trask (barely played, backup) Mac Jones (sucked, traded) replace Justin Field (sucked, will get traded/replaced by Purdy,) Kellen Mond (barely played, backup) Ian Book (barely played, clipboard holder). Only Lawrence has had any sort of success The Pats finished the 2021 season losing 3 of 4. They started the season losing 3 of 4. The teams they beat leading up to the playoff blowout loss were losers all year. My question is. Was Mac as good as the record suggests? No. Teams figured him out. It's not a surprise BB tried to trade him because he saw Mac's ceiling at the same time other teams figured him out. Where is the criticism for Belichick ruining this guy's career? Belichick genuinely set this guy up to fail by his 2nd year. Man Mac Johns was so overhyped and still is Mac was fined for dirty plays and no one liked him. Stop making excuses for him. He brought a lot on himself. Bill destroyed this kid. Mac was a very good QB with the right coaching but Bill's ego was too much. I am glad no team wants him I have no sympathy for Jones this is what he gets for being cocky and arrogant Trevor Lawrence's first season definitely counts. He played every single game and they were bad. We never said don't count any of the Lions / Browns/ Cardinals/ '70s Bucs because they were absolutely terrible. Nah, he played that entire season just like every other QB who had a bad/great season. He played, the Jags played, and they were awful... It was an absolutely terrible season but it counted lol. To not count it would be ridiculous and completely unfair to all of the other bad teams that played that season. His first season counts. stop it lol. Trevor needs to watch his back because for all the talk about him being this generational talent...he hasn't done anything Can y’all stop Matt Jones isn’t that good of a quarterback to start in the NFL Hey y’all not removing seasons from Mac Jones and Zach Wilson bad situations.

"The Jests did everything in their power to ensure Zach Wilson didn't start a game for them in 2023"? What the hell are you talking about? The signed Aaron Rodgers, who went down on the first drive of the first game, and then the Jets did nothing. Well, I suppose eventually they benched Wilson for some dude whose name I can't even remember, but that was just the usual Jets braintrust's (and I use the term very loosely) half-assed reaction to the completely correct accusations of that they--the "braintrust"--hadn't given any thought to what they were going to do if their 40 year old qb wasn't able to play every snap of the 2023 season. That was just a very tardy reaction, however. They did nothing at all proactive to keep Wilson from having to start, like, say, signing an unemployed former Jets qb named Joe Flacco, or working out a trade in the half of a season's time they had to do so before the deadline. In other words, the Jets didn't do the two most important and effective things they should have done if their goal was to keep Wilson from having to start after Rodgers got hurt. Not that it really matters--Zach Wilson is not and never will be good enough to play qb1 in the nfl, but it's patently false to say "the Jets did all they could."

i have to lay the blame on belichick for ruining this first round pick. no one else. reason? the same reason why belichick thought brady was no more than a system quarterback. belichick was the star in his own eyes. he could do the same with any quarterback, or so he thought. how has that worked out for you, bill? mac jones behind trevor lawrence is a good move for the jags and for jones. jones needs time to put back the pieces belichick discarded. my instincts suggest that jones will yet become the quarterback that saban saw in him. he will rise from the ashes. if trevor gets hurt, if jones gets enough time; mr lawrence may be the jags drew bledsoe. not saying that jones will rise to brady's status, but this is the nfl, and when quarterbacks are given a chance, the starter often eventually finds himself working elsewhere.

Thank you, saved a listen.

Not only is this an awesome sports program, but it also has a solid community. Most comment sections are bickering, trolling messes. This one is more positive and you can actually chat sports. Keep your sticks on the ice folks.

They set him up to fail, fresh off Brady’s legendary career in NE, big shoes to fill and he had arguably reached his ceiling very quickly

[@GuanesWorld]

Bill screwed mac over big time. And mac didnt help at all.

[@jonwick1gm574]

Where is the criticism for Belichick ruining this guy's career? Belichick genuinely set this guy up to fail by his 2nd year.

[@coreydias9635]

Mac=bust. Stop exaggerating his rookie year. He can’t play

[@nexigram]

You can talk about the Pats and Bill destroying this kid all you want, but it’s Mac Jones’s decision making that doomed him. He chose to throw those unbelievably bad interceptions. He chose to kick a grown man in the balls when a play didn’t go his way. He chose to bitch and moan and show his teammates and coaches up on the field. Almost every first round QB taken in the history of the league has coaching turmoil around him; you’re not picking that high because you got a stable nurturing environment on your team. Mac Jones just needs to grow up if he wants to make it in this league.

Man Mac johns was so overhyped and still is

[@ThePowerOfOneThePowerOfTwo]

How is he overhyped though? Just about everyone says/ knows he aint it lol

[@auston781]

@@ThePowerOfOneThePowerOfTwo easy he should never been a pro bowler I think 3 vets said no to it, so his only pro bowl was a participant award. And I’ve never seen a qb heathy the whole game and throw 3 passes. People are still talking about him,

[@ILuvRum]

Belichick intentionally sabotaged Jones after Jones disrespected him over Belichick hiring his failed coaching buddies Judge and Patricia and then tasked the former special teams coordinator and defensive coordinator with running the offense. Belichick is a very vindictive person. He gave up a Superbowl to placate his ego when he retaliated against Malcom Butler, and the divorce with Brady was due to Belichicks vanity and ego as well. It is very easy to see this.

[@treborheminway3814]

Mac needs a few years to grow up and hopefully become a leader of men. He did ok the first year, but he also had a lot of help facing some weak competition that gave false hope. Hence the drumming the bills have the team that year in the playoffs.

[@luism8130]

He was never good, the media overrated him..

[@karenhardie1132]

Mac was fined for dirty plays and no one liked him. Stop making excuses for him. He brought a lot on himself.

[@coldwinter5428]

Mac Jones making a pro bowl his rookie year is so overplayed. It wasn’t an achievement worth noting. He only made the pro bowl because several better quarterbacks said to themselves, “I’m not going to that joke of a game”. Lots of bad to meh quarterbacks have made it to a pro bowl for the same reason. Unless you were one of the top 3 quarterbacks voted to the pro bowl it shouldn’t be brought up.

[@MeiA-h9r]

The way Bill’s time ended at New England and after watching Dynasty and the way he talked to to even HoF players in team meetings Bill ain’t never gonna be a head coach in the NFL again There’s no way the players of today are playing for a guy like that, they’re just not built or thick skinned enough like that.

[@joeperkins-macdonald2184]

As a patriots fan I am so excited to see what we get with that 6th round pick. I would have given up mac for the 6th round pick we'll have in 2027. Guys an f'n loser

[@johnadams5489]

I watched some of the NE games when Jones started his first season, he played well. I think that Bill B is a difficult coach to play for. He was not nice to Brady and Tom Left NE shortly after their last meeting with Bill B and the owner. BB is NOT a nice man.

[@skevincampbell]

Yeah, he looked OK, on all those behind the line of scrimmage throws. The ones that went past the line of scrimmage, went less the 5 yards. He only went to the Pro Bowl, because several picked in front of him didn’t want to go.

[@alexandercoleman7899]

Mac was a bit overrated

[@undisputedtruth4954]

He was a 1st round pick because he played for Alabama, not because he was worthy of being a 1st round qb1. Dude is a bum.

[@miamivice1149]

The fall... Bellychick. If one is not Tom Brady, he cannot overcome that level of antiquity and totalitarianism
