It’s not misleading. Mac Jones was leading the NFL in pick sixes and turnovers for scores. He managed an offense that was dead last in creating first downs. They were also one of the most penalized offenses in the league.That’s misleading. Two of the games where the Patriots scored 21 or more points with Zappe as a starter, the only reason is because of special teams TDs. The offense has scored 21 point once with Zappe as a starter (Pittsburgh).
Yesterday, the Pats only scored 14 points on offense, but 21 points in total. Reagor scored a kick return TD. Even if Ryland didn‘t blow his two field goal attempts, it would have only been 20 point.
Against Denver, the Pats scored 19 points on offense and 26 in total. The Pats scored a special teams TD recovering a fumble in the end zone.
The offense has been bottom of the league with both Zappe and Mac because neither QB is a starter at this point and there is little to no talent on the offensive side of the ball.
Zappe hasn’t been amazing but at least he’s run a mostly penalty free operation, has moved the ball and put up points.
Mac has started three years… stop making excuses for him.
