Mac Jones is the Starter [Update - Mac is starting vs the Jete, says BB]

They need to bend the edge and Jones will crumble even if no one is actually near him. My sense is Jones makes the life of the pass rush much easier than Zappe does.

The Bears showed Manday night that you don't need to pass rush Zappe. Just hold the line and clock the passing lanes.

GMTA!

coaching matters…a lot

This is true.

I said to Ian in another thread - after they put Mac back in, they went right back to the same old offense. Instead of what was working. Poor coaching on Matt P's part.

And the Jets d-line said "d%#*!@t! We have to work this weekend and not just stand there and swat down footballs".

This game might be called by halftime imagine getting blown out two weeks in a row. The lean years and it has been a while are here upon us again.

You do realize the Jets have Zach Wilson at QB? How are they going have a blow out big enough to enact the mercy rule with the Jets' offense without their three best players?

Zach Wilson can't be as bad as Justin Fields lol

After the Bears debacle and around the NFL as a whole any given Sunday is legit this season. Can't count this game as a layup

Odds are the source is Steve Belichick who is very good friends with Yates.

"Media guy is friends with an insider" does not really correlate well with "that insider is the source of a specific story" especially with no corroborating evidence.

But you can NOT teach arm strength.

people cant get stronger? players cant increase the velocity of their passes? People cant work on their fast twitch muscle reactions?

wtf... where do people come up with these dumb ass theories...

They are on a Four game winning streak they are finding ways to win signs of good up and coming Team.

He can't exploit the Pats the way Fields did. Wilson can scramble, but when he gets in trouble, he takes off by scrambling backward 15-20 yards. He doesn't take off down the field.

Look how they won the four game winning streak. Their offense just blew out their ACL and is done for the season.

Sadly I thought this was from BB.

This thread needs an imo in the title imo


Zappe rules btw

Field Yates says his sources says Jones is the starter. The thread title is now correct.

 

[Disco Volante]

Quarterbacks to start for the Patriots in the 2.5 years since Kraft chose Belichick over Brady:

Cam Newton
Brian Hoyer
Mac Jones
Zappe Bailey

Really nailed it, Bill!

Rob I remember you saying before Monday nights game how Justin Fields is terrible. I responded by saying watch him have a career game you know how that goes sometimes. That's exactly what happened blame me for the loss.

Good thing for us the jete only completed like 4 passes over 5 yards last game. Definitely not a gimme anymore but we should come out fired up.

You think the Pats are going to let two awful QBs in a row? The Pats always struggle against mobile QBs like Fields. I didn't take that into effect. And personally, I think the Pats were looking past the Bears.

Here’s why this makes no sense:

You just sat Jones for performance reasons. That sent a message to the team.

You play Zappe and he stinks, then Jones can try his hand again.

But you’re re-committing to Jones now … and if he plays better, great. But if he continues to suck, you’re stuck. Bench him again and reignite the MNF fiasco? Or let him play despite his struggles, and the message that sends.

I see no reason this makes sense.

Well Mac needs to have a good game it's been a while: let's hope he doesn't keep the other Team in it.
