A Couple of Surprising Names Have Emerged"},"content":{"rendered":"

If Mac Jones can’t turn things around this week out in Las Vegas, it looks like he’s got a couple of people behind him coming on strong.<\/p>\n

While Bailey Zappe has had a rough go of things when he’s come on in relief of Jones so far this season, it appears that Will Grier may have made enough progress where he’ll eventually be the next man up behind Jones.<\/p>\n

Boston Sports Journal reporter Greg Bedard appeared on\u00a0Felger & Maz <\/em>earlier this week<\/strong><\/a>, talking about a variety of topics, and was asked about the quarterback position.<\/p>\n

When asked on Tuesday if Cunningham could potentially get a chance, Bedard says that if Mac Jones falters, it could actually be Will Grier, and not Bailey Zappe, who would potentially be next in line.<\/p>\n

“Not from the way [Bill] O’Brien talked about him today,” said Bedard, citing comments from O’Brien on Tuesday<\/strong><\/a> about Cunningham’s progress on the practice squad.\u00a0 “I mean, from talking to people around the team, I think if Mac Jones doesn’t succeed this week, if he doesn’t retain his job, I think it’s Will Grier’s.”<\/p>\n

Grier has been the club’s emergency quarterback as of late, with Zappe sitting ahead of him at the backup quarterback spot.\u00a0 Zappe has come in twice in the last two games in relief of Jones, completing 7-of-18 (38.9%) for 79yds, including 1\/7 (14.3%) on third down.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it sounds like Cunningham has actually continued to make significant progress both as a receiver and at the quarterback position, with Belichick even going so far on Friday to say if that continues, his opportunity to play on game day could become a real possibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalik\u2019s really worked hard and made a lot of improvement,\u201d said Belichick. \u201cHe never really played in the kicking game at Louisville, so he\u2019s started to show up there, never played receiver \u2013 didn\u2019t look very good either, in the spring, but he\u2019s really improved there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe can catch the ball, but just route running and finding zones and things like that. But, it\u2019s come pretty naturally to him. He plays a good amount of quarterback. He\u2019s competent there. He\u2019s a smart kid, works hard, and the opportunities he\u2019s had, he\u2019s shown a lot of improvement. It\u2019s a little too early for an induction ceremony here, but definitely a lot of improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was then asked if Cunningham could get an opportunity on game day, and Belichick hinted that he could indeed get a shot if he continues playing the way he has.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, he\u2019s definitely trending towards,\u201d said Belichick. \u201cAnybody who keeps improving is going to eventually probably get an opportunity to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hopefully, Jones can get back on track.\u00a0 In 2022, following the disaster that was the Chicago game, Jones went on to put together a solid stretch.\u00a0 He completed 197-of-301 for 1971 yards, 9 touchdowns, and just two interceptions over his next nine games.<\/p>\n

That’s likely the same type of performance he’ll need to string together this season as well if he hopes to retain the starting role.<\/p>\n

If not, it looks like there are players behind him who may instead get a chance and further complicate the already frustrating quarterback situation fans have had to endure so far this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
