Me too thanks

He's been bad, but part of this is probably people inside the Patriots organization unable to accept that the average quarterback is not Tom Brady and can't fix everything himself. Might be time to reexamine other aspects of the organization as well.

"They've been sold this smart, efficient, game-managing quarterback and they're not getting it."

That's on the organization...

Zappe timee!

Ok

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.

Did him no favors with the chosen picture lolol

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.

Well I hope so lol

It seems he’s a lock for at least 2 truly awful decisions and throws. Not great considering his escape abilty and pocket awareness are suboptimal. Time to move on when your ceiling is Ryan Tannehill.

I wouldn't even think about firing the coach.. I would talk to him about tanking for a QB like the Spurs did for Wemby.. I watched the last Patriots game and some of the throws he makes are just bad.. At first I blamed him having no WRs but he's really just a poor decision maker.

Mac Jones: *puts in new toilet paper roll with the open end facing towards the wall*

Everybody else in the Patriots organization: You motherfucker...

Howell truthers love this one Mac....

don’t worry pats fans, josh mcdaniels will cure him

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!

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).

So they’re mad at their own poor coaching? Got it.

Brady was “the Patriot Way” and it’s more obvious by the day

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

It’ll be at least 10 years before I’m willing to feel bad for the Patriots.

Mac Jones is probably my favorite Patriot of all time.

So, fire him.

Looks like that entire QB class is shitting the bed, outside of Lawrence.

And fans

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

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

In other news, water is wet.

My issue with him is that he seems wildly mediocre while also being kind of a prick. It's a bad combo.

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

Yall, I’m tired.

It’s honestly super funny to see the pats organization and fans see how difficult it really is to obtain just a good QB. Brady absolutely skewed winning in an insane way

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

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

Wanna swap QBs? Just for shits and giggles?

Who’s gonna turn out worse?

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.

I actually have been loving it

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.

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

Outside, too, I think.

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

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.

Something about how he talks and holds his face, reminds me of the small group of older students, at least one of whom tucked their shirts directly into too-high tighty-whiteys.

"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.

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?

If you can’t inflate or deflate your balls correctly or learn how to read an offense on tape or be a stud according to the NFL, then what good are you truly?
