Exactly, let's not overlook Mac Jones limitations just because he was in a bad situation.I am a Mac supporter but he has had limitations since college. Read @BaconGrundleCandy draft outlook - a lot of it is still true today. Mac was improving at the end of last season, lets hope that projection continues.
I think we can all agree that the past season's offensive struggles were largely the fault of the outright incompetence of Patricia and Joe Judge.
However that doesn't let Mac Jones completely off the hook. His physical limitations became abundantly clear last season. His inability to sense pressure in the pocket, his emotional immaturity, his inability to make plays on the run or off script, his lack of arm strength to deliver balls in tight windows under pressure. It was all there for everyone to see.
Mac Jones still has a TON to prove after regressing hugely in his second season. Who here wouldn't have been glad to see what Bailey Zappe had to offer when Mac Jones and the offense continued to stink it up play after play, quarter after quarter?
I'm not averse to seeing if there's a better option out there than Mac Jones. But I have a feeling the Patriots are going to let it ride out one more season because he was a 1st round pick. BB does not desire the stigma of drafting the next N'Keal Harry at QB as well.
But if BB does trade Mac as rumored, that will give proof that he's not in love with Mac as this team's QB moving forward. I mean BB didn't exactly give 'glowing reviews' of Mac or even a vote of confidence at the end of season.
