He was tested time and time again, and seemingly impressed the coaching staff enough to earn Bill Belichick&#8217;s trust to name him the opening day starter.<\/p>\n<p>That move was surprising, given Belichick&#8217;s seemingly loyal stance toward Newton. But given the plethora of talent on both sides of the football, Belichick seems to believe that Jones gives them the best chance to win, and so, here we are.<\/p>\n<p>He definitely faces a tough challenge. In<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.providencejournal.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/patriots\/2021\/09\/11\/new-england-patriots-dolphins-nfl-opener-mac-jones-rookie-starting-quarterback-potential\/8276226002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a column yesterday<\/a><\/strong>, Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal pointed out that rookie QBs historically haven&#8217;t exactly had the best luck when it comes to winning double-digit games over the years, let alone winning a championship.<\/p>\n<p>Daniels points out that no rookie quarterback has ever made it to a Super Bowl, and during the entire history of the league, out of 98 rookie QBs who started 10 games, only eight of them have won 10 or more of those contests.<\/p>\n<p>That means that despite the expectations we might have for him, the odds of Jones leading this club to a potential rematch against Tom Brady in February &#8211; regardless of how the first one goes down in Week 4 in Foxboro &#8211;\u00a0 seems like a difficult task.\u00a0 Factor in a 17 game regular season and the removal of a bye for the number two seed, and that road feels even a little more daunting.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jones already seems to be an anomaly and he seems to be farther ahead mentally of any young quarterback we&#8217;ve seen come through here since Brady.\u00a0 Brady obviously came in during his first full season following his own rookie year and pulled off the impossible, thanks largely due to the fact he was careful with the football, made smart decisions, and didn&#8217;t turn it over.<\/p>\n<p>Jones seems to be the same type of player.\u00a0 He&#8217;s been able to read defenses and make adjustments at the line, while also hitting guys in stride and allowing them to make plays.\u00a0 Anyone who has followed this team long enough to remember 2001 likely recalls that attribute being a key difference Brady had over then QB Drew Bledsoe, as receivers started making more yards after the catch with Brady throwing them the football.<\/p>\n<p>It should be fun to watch, and Jones definitely checks enough boxes where fans should like their chances given what we&#8217;ve seen so far.\u00a0 Now it&#8217;s time for the rookie to get the Patriots into the win column, and we&#8217;ll find out in a few hours if he can take that important first step during the team&#8217;s first match-up of 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that it&#8217;s game day, Mac Jones will obviously be the focus of the attention on Sunday as the rookie tries to lead the Patriots over
