Maybe a year or two with Pederson helps his value next year...but no chance to even compete for playtime for now barring injury. I have always thought of him as a Fabio. Maybe Jaguars will get some additional Alabama fans. Quote
Blackbeard Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Honestly as much as a Sally Mac may seem, I hope this pans out for him. seems like the pats and Billy just did him wrong. 1 Quote

I disagree entirely. With going behind Belichick*’s back to the owners, all the dirty hits, the sideline tantrums, and his utter lack of support when Zappe was getting his reps— literally pouting and crying on the sideline, I’d say he did them wrong. 1 4 Quote

He’s a backup. McCorkle is a good backup. He went to his home team for a year to learn and potentially rebuild his value. There were worse options for him. 2 Quote
stuvian Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Jones will revive his fortunes in Jacksonville. Count me as a headband sceptic Quote

I do agree that he's always had a bit of an attitude issue. Aside from that however, the Patriots put on an absolute MASTER CLASS of what not to do with a young QB. - Aging coach with old defensive mindset - Lack of prioritizing getting weapons around him -Lack of consistency on the OL - Hiring Matt Patricia as an OC and doubling down with Joe freaking Judge as his QB coach (which is why I can't blame him for seeking answers outside the building) - Job uncertainty with the switching between him and Zappe. Now, I was never high on Jones and didn't think he would amount to much more than a low level starter. However he really wasn't given much of an opportunity or competent coaching either. 1 Quote

McCarthy. Then I'd sign C. Wilkins, 1 big name WR and a vet or two for OL. and draft BPA throughout. Bring back Brissett. We'll see how smart Mayo is. 1 Quote

This is all mostly true, although I think you can only really point to the disastrous, ‘22 Matt Patricia experiment for bad coaching. There are actually fans in NE* who believe Jones bears some responsibility for Belichick*’s downfall. Be that as it may, I think Belichick* made his feelings pretty clear when he dropped Mac & Cheese off the active roster for the last game of the season. Edited March 10 by Rocky Landing Quote

Nihilarian Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Good for him. Glad he is gone from that CF that Bilcheat had him in with DC for his OC... probably ruined him. Quote

It's my go-to picture for any Mac Jones related topic. One day in the far future there will be an "RIP Mac Jones" post and I'll be sitting in my wheelchair, wheezing for my carer to find that picture of a young Mac Jones crying 1 Quote

Awwufelloff Posted March 10 Posted March 10 They’re going to get a franchise qb at pick 3 and be back into the thick of it in 2-3 yrs Quote
