PFT: Bill "has shopped" Mac

[Grogan14]

Amazing how the narrative switches from Mac did not get a fair chance last year to he “violated the chain of command”

It looks like this is heading to either Mac or BB must go

Is BB really so inflexible that he can not work this out with Mac?

This is not the navy seals or “ a few good men” last I checked

 

[TheRainMaker]

Kraft made him do that, I think.

Kraft ain't making him do ****!

 

[Bill Lee]

Because Bill is the general of his team and you don’t disrespect the general or his orders.
Factor in the fact that Patricia and Judges reputations have been ran over by a 18 wheeler it’s a mixture of the guilt he has for hurting his friends reputation and the audacity for players to question their coaches.

As far as why he moved them?
To appease Kraft?
Maybe he knew he was wrong but will never admit they were bad hires.

Seems to me you're projecting your own deep-down insecurities onto a guy who has been a head coach in the NFL for over 20 years and a coach for over 50 years.

 

[Bill Lee]

BB has destroyed this team.
Mac did not deserve this.
Macs trade value right now at an all time low.
They would be lucky to get a third rounder for him.

Amazing conclusions to reach just because Florio ran with what one unnamed source (agent) may or may not have told him.

This all makes me think a bit more about McCourty's recent comments as well about how there were guys on the team in the locker room last year who were saying Zappe should keep the starting job. The only guys I can think of who were very outwardly "pro-Mac" are Meyers (gone) and Harris (gone). Hoyer reportedly was also defending Mac, he got cut. Only other guy I can think of is maybe Bourne.

 

[Nehalem]

Oh the popcorn that I'd be making if this is the plan

Somehow I don't think Bill "I don't want my QB questioning my authority" Belichick is going to be signing Aaron Rodgers.

It sounds like a real thriller. I am curious how it ends.

Corky Mac is a back up.

 

[turkeyneck]

Is Judge Florio's "source"?

Just askin'.

 

[Ross12]

Kraft: "Meek Mill says Lamar wants to come to NE but that's up to Bill."

Bill: "Well **** I'll take Lamar, thanks for telling me Bob! Just need to offload Mac..."

Just imagine if Bill took an unproven 2nd year quarterback and started him over the starting qb from the last couple years. What an idiot, who would ever do something like that.

We saw this was with Kosar, Bledsoe, now Mac.
Very interesting to say the least.

Bledsoe was already the QB for 8 years and took the team to the Super Bowl.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Stars aligning for TFB to come outa retirement one more time and play for 2 years and at least one more SUPERBOWL win for the Pats!
LFG!!!

Yeah, and it would make even less sense if that kids was like a sixth round draft pick, right?

 

[NashuaPats]

Mel Kiper has been singing Will Levis’ praises. The things he’s raving about are things that could appeal to Bill: toughness, playing through injuries, and attitude. His physical profile is also similar to Josh Allen’s.

I wonder if Bill is doing his do diligence to see what he can get for Mac in case Levis falls in the draft. The reason I say this is I can’t think of any other QB available that he might have an eye on.

I thought Zappe looked better than Mac last year. And he looked better as a rookie with limited preseason playing/starting time. He had a bad game against Chicago but in that same Chicago game Mac was pulled when he was 3 for 6 for 13 yards and a pick.

Just to remind you all here are Brian (minigoat) Zappe's numbers from last year.

If Mac is gone then Zappe will still be a back-up. You heard it here first.

Am I mistaken or are the people who hate Mac Jones the most the same people who are having the biggest issue with this report?
