Thank you for watching The Downfall of Mac Jones! What was the most shocking part about his story to you? #nfl #patriots #football #alabama #macjones #downfall #documentary
The Mac hate is outstanding. I’m not saying he’s great or anything but to be in an offense with a terrible OC, zero weapons, and a horrible O Line. Yeah no shit he was gonna fail he was set up to do so.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zq no one has helped him develop. I’m not saying his the next Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes, but he looks like he can be a decent QB with help. You just need to develop him but he’s got nothing
Really sucks seeing all the hate Mac gets. Despite what a lot of people think, he wasn’t the cocky kid coming out of college. Dude was always happy and smiling, garnering the nickname “Joker” from his time at Alabama. He was the coach of a sorority flag football team in his spare time. I think people mistake his confidence for being cocky. If he gets some weapons around him or has a fresh start somewhere, he could live up to his 1-15 potential. Would love to see him smiling and having fun again.
As time goes on, you have to really admire the career Brady had. The Patriots had two Hall of fame guys during their run. I would argue the rest were at best above average, at worst well below. The Belichick aura as far as team building has faded. Great coach no doubt. Even a great QB doesn't win 6 titles without a great coach. But the offense has been anemic for years. Brady propped that up, and the defense won them their last title . That 2019 Patriots team had nobody, we thought Brady was washed. But looking back, it's a wonder he even won the division with that squad. You only need to look at what he did in Tampa his first year. He led a terrible but talented squad to a championship. New England hasn't been close since Brady left. Mac Jones just doesn't have the talent to make up for what's missing. He's not Tom Brady.
Patriots lost a lot of good coaches especially for the offensive line around the time Brady was leaving. I think they are more than just a QB away from being Super Bowl contenders again
Nah even if Brady was on this team he’d be getting thrashed too. This team has NO offensive line, no qb can save this not even a mobile one like Murray
@@kennypowers1945that's false Brady would still be better. He had the worst oline in the NFL in 2022 and still threw 4700yds 25tds 9ints and won his division and went to the playoffs. Brady was the reason for the Pats dynasty
What Mac needs is a fresh start with a new team in a backup role with an experienced starting QB as his mentor. He was humbled by New England and their lack of supporting weapons. But I believe that he can work his way back up the leaderboard if he puts his mind to it (just look at how good he was in college).
I can almost see Mac following the career of Jim Plunkett. A number 1 pick for New England, Plunkett never reached his true potential. A short stint with San Francisco left him banged up and his career looked like it was over. Plunket was picked up by the Raiders, as a backup QB he had the opportunity to heal up and learn a different system. He began to show the talent that was there and ended up winning a SB with the Raiders.
@@pityumarkus7326 i agree with this take 100%. Honestly I think he gets traded to a backup needy team. With Jameis Winstons contract expiring the Saints could pick him up, maybe the vikings, ffs even the rams wouldn't be bad to learn behind Stafford. My point being, I think he"ll be an extremely Cousins-esque QB elsewhere and I honestly hope he wins a super bowl somewhere else after how NE and Jones failed one another.
As a pats fan I’m not upset with Mac I’m upset with the organization as a young player they gave him no weapons to work with they just thought he would be another Brady step in an lift everyone around him he is a great player and has showed moments of promise but they never gave him the pieces to get there
He’s terrible stop saying we don’t have weapons all season our defense kept us in games close games he just couldn’t get the job done everyone was quick to criticize cam but now it’s not Mac fault
@@vestsfamilyis that's defense, and that's all Bill cared about and that is why he is no longer here. He did nothing for the offense, especially an offensive line. Zip zero zilch. Guys Parker and Juju would get passes in the hands and drop the ball.
@@vestsfamilyidk man. You look at the tape so many of these interceptions were receivers popping the ball up. His line has been meh, running game even more meh. Overall I think we are realizing there was no “patriot way.” It was the “brady way.” It was Tom constantly bailing out all the above. In conclusion I just fail to believe Jones wouldn’t have had a better start of his career with the 49ers.
Even with the lack of weapons around him, he should still be showing flashes of star potential. I just don’t see it though. Even in a better situation, I don’t see his ceiling being anything other than Jimmy Garoppolo-esque.
Same thing happened to Bledsoe. The O line was weak until for whatever reason, got better when brady took over. The one difference between Tom and Drew was how fast Tom made reads.
Great video. As a Pats fan I really believed in him until that Colts game. A lot of the previous games this year, MAC had done what he needed to do to win the game but poor receiver play in the clutch cost us the games. I guess all the drops and failed toe drags were preventing me from seeing all these major flaws MAC had that were put on full display against the Colts and Giants. Like against the Dolphins in week 2, MAC could have stood tall and took a hit on that throw to Gesicki on 4th down, but he faded backwards and Gesicki couldn’t catch it in stride for the 1st.
That really is the thing with the Pats this year. Everyone is blaming him for the terrible record now because Zappe is doing solid (sometimes), when it really was a combination of everything (the QB, bad WRs, inconsistent running game, inconsistent O-line, poor special teams play, bad coaching decisions, etc.). Hell, even the defense is guilty of giving up A LOT of big plays on 3rd and 4th downs that take away time of posession, but no one ever wants to talk about that for some reason.
@@Scott_Dunbar_II Nah it was Mac Jones selling. Defense kept him in games to win and sold. Just like bro said about that Colts and Giants game was the clear picture that he needed to warm the bench
@@FunGamerFever I know it's hard to believe but Mac was actually doing okay passing-wise in the Colts game before the horrible interception. Everyone remembers the interception, but barely anyone remembers that Zeke was going to score a TD at one point but ran into Strange from behind just short and they couldn't score (keystone cop type crap). Barely anyone remembers that Ryland missed a chip shot field goal that ultimately led to the Pats having to try to get a game-winning touchdown instead of a game-winning field goal. Barely anyone remembers the punt return unit failing miserably to block a punt on an all out blitz without a return man, giving up lots and lots of field and setting the O up for more failure. The Giants game was just a mess all over the place. You brought up that Mac Jones was selling, if true, the defense and special teams have also sold going back to 2022, especially in the Vikings game, The lunatic lateral game, almost the first 2023 Bills game, and the Commanders game. Final consensus? Mac was just part of the problem, and it was evident when Zappe arguably played way worse than him in that final stretch of games.
@Scott_Dunbar_II Well clearly they both sucked. But Zappe did get some impressive wins against a ferocious Steelers defense and red hot Broncos which he ended there playoff hopes that game. Mac Jones would never. I can see him scared all game and pick sixes yet again. The whole point is that y'all are emotional and a fan of Mac Jones that you try to justify his mistakes. Clearly he's not good at reading the defense and when qbs can't get over that humo then they deserve the backup position cause they're not a game winning starter cause you want a consistent qb to move you downfield with ease spreading the rock around
@@FunGamerFever You are overrating Zappe and giving him WAY too much credit. He played well in those and deserves praise, of course, but he also got SUPER LUCKY, a ton of good fortune went in the Pats favor in both games and they still barely won by three points each time. With Mac, the Pats had a ton of bad breaks go against them and they'd only lose by a single score most of the time (he's had LOTS of nice deep passes dropped). Additionally, Zeke played out of his mind in the Steelers game and Barmore played out of his mind in the Broncos game, and let me tell you something, the Pats DO NOT win those games without their respective performances, so why are you only giving Zappe credit for those wins when he wasn't even the best player in either of them? Saying " he ended there playoff hopes that game" is just stupid, because not only was it a TEAM WIN where Zappe (again) wasn't even the best player, but the Broncos still had 2 games left to get just above .500 and squeak in, but Payton inexplicably benched Russ and cowardly gave up on their chances. Does that comeback win against the Bills where Mac played great all game seriously mean nothing to you? You bring up the pick-sixes to deter Mac, reasonable to an extent, but it's foolish to do so when comparing him to Zappe, who came DANGEROUSLY close to surpassing the number of pick-sixes Mac threw in less games played. At what point did I justify Mac's mistakes? I literally said that Colts interception was horrible, along with at least 3 others he threw this past season that were all his fault. With that being said, it would not be fair at all to observe that 2023 season and criticize Mac for his bad play while also failing to criticize the MANY OTHER players and coaches who did also did poorly.
Great video man. I will say that Mac was pretty cocky coming out of college, abd he was certainly humbled. However, he is just not getting any help while his recievers and Offensive line are among the worst in the league. All the star QB's in this league have at least one star reciever and at least a solid o line. Yes Travis Kelce counts. I think Mac will go elswhere and be solid. I hope we win at least one more game so that we don't draft a top QB. I don't want his career to be ruined by Bill Belifraud.
I agree with the offensive line and receiver however I think he is too affected by pressure to truly succeed in the NFL right now. That isn't to say he can't get over it.
With all due respect, I can't argue with this. Obviously, Mac's NFL failure was influenced by the incompetence of Matt Patricia (Now the Eagles' DC) and Joe Judge (Now the Pats' vice head coach) as offensive coaches, but he nevertheless never did anything to prove he could overcome adversity outside of his rookie year. And when I say that, I'm talking about his poor accuracy, lack of good decision-making, and most importantly his excuses. When Bill O'Brien returned to New England, I thought I would see improvement from the embattled 3rd-year passer, but after seeing how poorly he played (224 of 345 for 2,120 yards, 10 TDs and 12 INTs, 77 passer rating), I knew I was wrong. Bottom line here is that Mac is not much more than a bust. It's not completely his fault he fell from grace, but at this point, it's time for the Pats to let him go and find a new QB in his place. Idk if they'll pick a QB in the draft next year, trade for a veteran starter, or pick one out in free agency, but regardless of what happens this offseason, I can assure you that Mac would've fared better had they kept Josh McDaniels as OC and actually built around him. Hopefully he'll find a team where he can start fresh, even though he'll likely be a backup for the remainder of his career.
Patriots O line ranks dead last in time allowed in the pocket for the qb. How do you expect a qb to throw the ball with no time with there best receiver being pop douglas
@@lukekarvelis84 I never said it was all his fault. Obviously, the pass O-Line is indeed bad, but Mac certainly hasn’t helped things with his poor decision-making. I’m sorry, but Mac doesn’t have what it takes to be a franchise quarterback. That isn’t automatically to say his career is over, but he’s likely to be a backup for however much longer his NFL career lasts.
Thing is he actually was decent in handling adversity. Last year, his best game came against the Vikings, which the Pats lost due to questionable officiating, bad defense, and TERRIBLE special teams play. In his worst game against the Raiders, despite all the stupid things that occured throughout and his bad performance, he still led a would-be game-winning touchdown drive that was wasted due to a defensive choke-job and even more questionable officiating (we all know how that ended). In the Bengals game, after getting completely shut out through 3 quarters, Mac and KB came alive and lit up the Bengals D to score those 2 unanswered touchdowns (granted there was a little help from the the refs). The Pats had another chance at a potential game-winning drive when Judon stripped Chase, but then Stevenson ruined it by losing that fumble on the 4-yard-line (Another reason to hate Patricia, the red zone offense was dead-last). Finally, in the last Bills game, Mac made a very valiant effort in trying to keep up with the scoreboard as the kickoff team gave up 2 TOUCHDOWNS by throwing for 3 of his own, and the picks he threw are not all on him either, he was trying do dig his team out of a hole he had nothing to do with making. Overall, I wouldn't say Mac was "good" in 2022, but he was still solid and effecient, and the reason why most don't look at it better is because of him being placed in a lousy coaching situation while experiencing Marty Schottenheimer levels of bad luck at the same time.
@@Scott_Dunbar_II You have a point there. It’s a real shame that Mac couldn’t regain his original form, but it really goes to show you that he had the wrong coaches for the job last season, and that’s what kinda screwed him over this season, even with Bill O’Brien back as OC
@@Milwaukeeroadfan Certainly. This year it's KIND OF the same situation. The offensive coaching has improved, but the bad luck still persists (missed calls, terrible drops, defensive mistakes, etc.) and even worse, his mentality has regressed. However, the games that I've seen where he has played well proves to me that he has the ability to be a starter in the NFL. Unfortunately though, it's likely not on the Pats, and as a fan of the dude, he needs a hard reset somewhere else.
Awesome video. Former Mac believer and probably still am but watching him pre draft process you hit the nail on the head. It showed in his tape in the small glimpses he played where when he saw pressure he would panic or his footwork would just get sloppy. He showed it a ton in his years at NE and pretty consistently towards the end of his rookie year. Id add the talent surrounded by Mac showed more of how low his ceiling is. I think hes better than a guy like Sam Howell but I do believe Mac is super sped up allowing for defenses to take advantage on his weaknesses (arm strength). Mac can turn it around but he seriously needs to identify how he can slow down the game again.
Thank you! I think you're spot on with the talent around him and arm strength as well. At Alabama his weak arm showed less because he could just air it out to Smith and Waddle
What u all fail to report is: Mac is not after Brady. He is after Cam Newton. Cam had a far worse situation than Mac. Cam didn’t have hardly no weapons at all! But, In 2020, he’s 7-8, 3245 total yds, 21 total tds, & 65.8 completion. Certain writers wouldn’t give Cam all his credits. Cam got voted Capt & never lost the locker room. Cam got re-signed & they cut Cam on 8/31/21. Bill B said Cam is the Starter. In 2 hrs later, Kraft cut Cam & shocked the world. It’s reported Mac beat Cam. But, he didn’t. Cam was a great Patriot QB & he handled how he got mistreated with class, & with stellar leadership. I admire Cam to this day how he still was able to still promote Mac even though he got cut after all jobs got filled up so late. To this day, I don’t know why they did Cam like that. The players loved Cam. Cam never deserted the Patriots. He worked 14-15 hour days. Why did Hoyer & Stidham keep a job, & they threw a good man like Cam out in ugly fashion? Cam respects Belichick, Josh, & others, to this day. Patriots fans still love Cam, too! 💕❤️ 🙏
One thing I saw early in the season was that the protection was so bad Mac had to concentrate on getting the ball out so fast that he started to make more bad decisions, and when the team got behind he tried to make a play when he should just throw the ball away. But the three weeks or so when no one knew who would start took away any confidence he might have had left. They should just have gone to Zappe so they could at least see what he could do.
When the who's were dropping perfect passes right in their hands in crucial situations. The media blamed Jones. We lost quite a few games because no one could hold on to the ball.And don't get me started on the O-line.
Once you're afraid to be hit in the NFL, you're done. Brady's first preseason game, he was on the other side, facing Drew Henson who Brady finally beat out in Michigan. But Brady got more fired up, when he was hit. Drew Henson got hit and played in one NFL Game. He was terrified of being hit. Brady made our Patriots a double Dynasty!! 💯 🐐
Reality has set in hard for the Patriots Outside of their glory with Tom Brady, they’ve never done much as a franchise without him- Either before he came along or since he left
he’s just not good simple as that, you can’t even say that “he has no weapons” or “he has no offensive line” because Zappe has managed to play fine despite being in the same situation as Mac Jones.
@@njrogasZappe has been doing slightly better than Mac Jones. Beating Denver when they were red hot and beating the Steelers defense with ease. Mac Jones would never. I see pick sixes in both games if he started again
Alabama over inflated his value as a Quarterback, which is good and bad. Being at a great program in college can do that, having a great Line, Running-backs, and Wide-outs. May not prepare you for the next level. It made everything to easy!
Another thing i think is worthy of mention here is the fact that when mac came off his ankle injury he wasnt 100 percent and in the game vs chicago he wasnt even the main starter he split reps with zappe not making excuses for everything that happened but that was an agregious ly awful descion that i think dont get enough attention
The dysfunctional environment that was fostered in the late days of Brady's tenure and in the years after, created the perfect storm for a young quarterback to fail in. He basically walked into a petty pissing contest between a coach and his former player and fell victim to the NFL's continual over valuation of Belichick assistants, whonkept taking jobs elsehwere trying to create something they weren't quaified to do. These over valued assistants completely tanked that crucial 2nd year of development and the Jones didnt recover from tailspin. The Patriots did him a solid by sending him back home in a trade and FINALLY admitting that if Belichick was allowed to stay, New England would have become THE MOST undesired destination for players.
Mac Jones had everything in Alabama, probably the only reason he was good. Once faced with adversity he turned into a whiny brat often lashing out at coaches and teammates or leaking to the press. I am so glad he is outta NE. Two to three more years as a backup and then bounced from the NFL- not anywhere near his over hyped talent 😂
@@BryantThompson-it4dz A team can hope but I did a whole video on draft picks and quarterbacks if you want to check it out. I hope he's good but you never really know
Everyone knew that Mac Jones didn’t have the arm talent of most of the successful QBs in the league. I think Bill and everyone else was hoping he could make up for that with ungodly mental toughness, super-human ability to process the game and an insane work ethic like another QB we all know. Unfortunately, there will only ever be one Tom Brady. And you can’t coach one into existence which is what I think Bill thought he could do.
Exactly! It is very hard to replace a great QB (just ask Marino's replacement, Jim Kelly's replacement, Joe Montana's replacement, John Elway's replacement, etc.)
Jarrett Stidham is who trained with Brady! Cam Newton competed vs Stidham & Hoyer! Cam won it fair! Cam is the first QB1, for 2020, votes Captain, & got re-signed to the Patriots. He is not a f*cking placeholder, u hater! Stop stealing his work. A placeholder is a backup QB. Cam led the Patriots through a tumultuous 2020, the PaNdemic, & no weapons. Stop being dirty & stealing his work. Mac is a bust! Cam was the best since Brady, left! Cam broke 4 records, & voted Captain, too!
@douglepong 1. Go read, & See my above comments! 2. Also, Cam had gotten re-signed! The job got snitched out of his hands for Mac Jones at the last hours! Mac Jones began hanging out with the Owner at his big mansion, too, before, it! 😳🙄👁👁😞
There was only one college year to evaluate him and that was during a Covid season. He was too hyped and his natural talents could never live up to that.
The patriots roster during Macs rookie was bad and somehow it has gotten worse each season. This year they pretty much said “hey, we know the oline is in shambles, receivers are subpar and our running scheme doesn’t work. So we are going to let your favorite safety blanket and best friend Jakobi Meyers leave for Vegas and replace him with an unstartable JuJu smith Schuster”
I put Belichick at fault for Mac Jones’ demise. Coach didn’t give his complete support to Mac and failed to develop Mac’s abilities. Instead his wore down Mac’s confidence. Belichick is coaching as if it is the 1990’s. Feel bad for Mac, he has talent.
I don’t even blame Belichick the coach. Belichick the GM has been terrible for years. Towards the end of Brady’s time with the Patriots, his best weapon was an aging Julian Edelman. We’ve missed on so many draft picks, signed a lot of bad contracts, let key players walk, and losing Scarnecchia started the downfall of the Offensive Line.
First off BB was not responsible for the drafting of Jones....that decision came from up.above. Secondly can we please dtop.the idiotic Bill wanted Mac to fail? No. You're right BB wanted to have a couple of bad seasons to prove Mac was a mistake. He was the reason Jones messed wide open receivers and made horrendous reads over and over again.
Stop the excuses buddy. Mac Jones is terrible. He's a turnover machine because he can't read defenses, lack of pocket awareness, panics when he see pressure and forces the ball, and no field observation
The true reason Mac Jones fell apart: Bill Belichick. Bill the coach is great. Bill the GM built a roster devoid of talent and having overpaid receiving “weapons”. Consider that Bailey Zappe *also* isn’t playing well, and we let Malik Cunningham go.
lack of great receivers and good oc did him dirty the second year, and that really threw him off this season with the teapot in charge of offense/playcalling and not the best receivers, though juju and Parker and gesicki are good.
Hey! Not a lot of other "failures" can say that their employer is bound to honor their $16 million 4-year contract if they are cut and leave the NFL. He comes out a winner! That will buy a lot of good cigars!
I had hope for Mac and wish him well. Mental side of the game is huge and something seemed to happen last year to destroy his confidence. His pocket presence and movement make him a sitting duck. Zappe seems to take far less direct hits and climbs the pocket to get clear throws. As I have heard players say when you play not to get hurt you get hurt.
6:47 Every QB gets hit. Herbert broke is rib cartlidge in 2022 and never missed a game. Other QB stay in the pocket throwing until they get hit. You can't wait until you have SF Oline around you. Most QBs don't and even Purdy gets hit. I really think Mac is a product of having a very good college career and NFL level is a hard leap.
After all this, i would be ok with keeping mac as the starter if we invest in Oline and Receivers this offseason. No matter qho we get at quarterback, this team is not a playoff caliber team without weapons.
Buddy Mac Jones was simply not the answer. You can't make excuses about "weapons and o-line" cause explain his rookie year? He fell because he was inconsistent and it finally caught up to him. He sucks at reading defense, no arm strength, lack of pocket awareness and no field observation. It's clear that he wasn't gonna last long as a starter
This video GROSSLY disrespects Cam Newton as the First Patriot QB1 to follow Tom Brady! 2020- Tom Brady goes to Buccaneers July 2020 Cam Newton is QB1 for NE Patriots 2021- Mac Jones follows Cam Newton. Mac He is not aft Brady. 🚨Side Note: Robert Kraft OVERRODE Bill Belichick gave the job to Mac. Mac never beat Cam. It was FALSE! 2020 Stats: Cam Newton 3245 total yds, 21 total tds, is 7-8 in 15 games, & 66% completion. NE Media would not report Cam’s total record. They lied and said Cam only my had 8! Cam Is a Dual threat QB, not just a pocket passer.! His 1historic td Catch made him to have 21, with his historic 12 Rushing TDs. Cam Made History as a Patriot but they didn’t list it, nor give him his due Credit in the Media! 😯😞
Mac jones is in a bad situation the Wrs sucks the Rb/Te are not that good. Then the HC makes a defensive coordinator an offensive coordinator. Hurts,Tua,Jones and Young are why I’m watching the NFL now. Draft Harrison and sign a big free agent Wrs to be your number 1 until Harrison is ready for wr1 duty.
Zappe was doing better than Mac Jones with that same o-line and receiver so stop the excuses. He was clearly the issue at being a turnover machine because he can't read a defense to save his life, he has accuracy problems, and he lacks pocket awareness
Tom Brady 2001-2019 Cam Newton 2020-2021 Mac Jones 2021-2023 Bailey Zappe 2023- Jan 2024 Special Note: Cam Newton got re-signed early! He’s the best after Brady in 2020, with the very least amount of weapons. He had no Camp not Pre-season. Mac & Zappe both had it! Cam Is the first successor! Mac is “not” before Cam! Stop the disrespect!!
Seems to me the solution is simple. He needs an O-Line. His time in NE is done, and I hate that. If he went somewhere like the rams who have an aging Stafford or maybe even Denver, who have given up on Russel Wilson, he could return to pro bowl form, teams that have a guy he could learn from, but also an o-line who will give him more than 1.5 seconds. Bill really misused him, and maybe he just isnt cut out for the NFL, but considering his best season was his rookie year and he still had a proper WR like Nelson Agholor, he might still have a starting job. Yet now, fans like me have to sit and watch Zappe do the same damn thing Mac was doing, but with an o-line who havent given up on the guy they are meant to protect for more than a second. I hope he gets another starting gig, and has a successful career, because what the Patriots have done giving him an OC roulette is depressing
I can’t respect how u did this video, and u didn’t include that Cam Newton is the QB 1 for 2020, after Brady left the Patriots in a frenzy. It wasn’t Mac’s job. It was Cam who was re-signed. Bill B chose Cam for 2021! Kraft overruled & got Mac. Cam never lost the locker room & was voted Captain of Offense. Cam handles it well how dirty he got treated. Mac Jones didn’t beat out Cam. It’s a lie. NE Media lied & reported it. It’s unfair. I’m glad Cam Newton handled it so mature & well! God blessed Cam in Media! 👏💕🙏☮️
When mac got to the Patriots he was fine great rookie year but Bill broke him like tua and Flores ,I firmly believe when he leaves and goes to another team he will be good again under the right coach look Bill talked to Brady like a dog even Sabin said it was rough working for him dude is an ass who treats people like crap if you aren't tough enough you are going to wilt
Well Zappe did much, much worse than Jones. Patriots need a rebuild on the o-lines badly. And they badly need a WR1. There were only 2 games where lines and receivers both clicked and that's when Jones did well.

The Mac hate is outstanding. I’m not saying he’s great or anything but to be in an offense with a terrible OC, zero weapons, and a horrible O Line. Yeah no shit he was gonna fail he was set up to do so.
Cam Newton had a worst squad and he took all the blame.
@@lordoffaiyum9727 Cam was a 10 year MVP veteran... Nice try though...
Well put. But zipperhead fantasy fans think everyone needs to be Pat Mahomes to succeed...
Bad footwork, weak arm and low I.Q in reading defenses doesn't help Mac either.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zq no one has helped him develop. I’m not saying his the next Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes, but he looks like he can be a decent QB with help. You just need to develop him but he’s got nothing
Really sucks seeing all the hate Mac gets. Despite what a lot of people think, he wasn’t the cocky kid coming out of college. Dude was always happy and smiling, garnering the nickname “Joker” from his time at Alabama. He was the coach of a sorority flag football team in his spare time. I think people mistake his confidence for being cocky. If he gets some weapons around him or has a fresh start somewhere, he could live up to his 1-15 potential. Would love to see him smiling and having fun again.
lol
Settle down
Zip it up when u done
What are you talking about?
Trademarking "QB10" 4 weeks into his rooky season was cocky.
As time goes on, you have to really admire the career Brady had. The Patriots had two Hall of fame guys during their run. I would argue the rest were at best above average, at worst well below. The Belichick aura as far as team building has faded.
Great coach no doubt. Even a great QB doesn't win 6 titles without a great coach. But the offense has been anemic for years. Brady propped that up, and the defense won them their last title . That 2019 Patriots team had nobody, we thought Brady was washed. But looking back, it's a wonder he even won the division with that squad.
You only need to look at what he did in Tampa his first year. He led a terrible but talented squad to a championship. New England hasn't been close since Brady left.
Mac Jones just doesn't have the talent to make up for what's missing. He's not Tom Brady.
Patriots lost a lot of good coaches especially for the offensive line around the time Brady was leaving. I think they are more than just a QB away from being Super Bowl contenders again
You said it all and very well. Thanks
Ah. I forgot Brady played defense and special teams too.
Nah even if Brady was on this team he’d be getting thrashed too. This team has NO offensive line, no qb can save this not even a mobile one like Murray
@@kennypowers1945that's false Brady would still be better. He had the worst oline in the NFL in 2022 and still threw 4700yds 25tds 9ints and won his division and went to the playoffs. Brady was the reason for the Pats dynasty
What Mac needs is a fresh start with a new team in a backup role with an experienced starting QB as his mentor.
He was humbled by New England and their lack of supporting weapons. But I believe that he can work his way back up the leaderboard if he puts his mind to it (just look at how good he was in college).
Maybe the Arizona Cardinals Is one of them.
I can almost see Mac following the career of Jim Plunkett. A number 1 pick for New England, Plunkett never reached his true potential. A short stint with San Francisco left him banged up and his career looked like it was over. Plunket was picked up by the Raiders, as a backup QB he had the opportunity to heal up and learn a different system. He began to show the talent that was there and ended up winning a SB with the Raiders.
@@pityumarkus7326 Wow! I Didn't Know That.
@@pityumarkus7326 i agree with this take 100%. Honestly I think he gets traded to a backup needy team. With Jameis Winstons contract expiring the Saints could pick him up, maybe the vikings, ffs even the rams wouldn't be bad to learn behind Stafford. My point being, I think he"ll be an extremely Cousins-esque QB elsewhere and I honestly hope he wins a super bowl somewhere else after how NE and Jones failed one another.
Who mentors in the NFL. That's a lie.Smith was on way out. QBs are arrogant douches. Why do they get paid more? Good guy QBs get sacrificed.
Pats didn’t prepare for the departure of Tom Brady , neither did they focus on the future of their offense… that’s why they’re in this situation.
🤣😂🤪😜😝😛
As a pats fan I’m not upset with Mac I’m upset with the organization as a young player they gave him no weapons to work with they just thought he would be another Brady step in an lift everyone around him he is a great player and has showed moments of promise but they never gave him the pieces to get there
When will pats fans admit bill is a fucking fraud
He’s terrible stop saying we don’t have weapons all season our defense kept us in games close games he just couldn’t get the job done everyone was quick to criticize cam but now it’s not Mac fault
@@vestsfamilyis that's defense, and that's all Bill cared about and that is why he is no longer here. He did nothing for the offense, especially an offensive line. Zip zero zilch. Guys Parker and Juju would get passes in the hands and drop the ball.
@@vestsfamilyidk man. You look at the tape so many of these interceptions were receivers popping the ball up. His line has been meh, running game even more meh. Overall I think we are realizing there was no “patriot way.” It was the “brady way.” It was Tom constantly bailing out all the above.
In conclusion I just fail to believe Jones wouldn’t have had a better start of his career with the 49ers.
@@lumanate1493And some were also horrible throws on his part and fumbles
Even with the lack of weapons around him, he should still be showing flashes of star potential. I just don’t see it though. Even in a better situation, I don’t see his ceiling being anything other than Jimmy Garoppolo-esque.
Same thing happened to Bledsoe. The O line was weak until for whatever reason, got better when brady took over. The one difference between Tom and Drew was how fast Tom made reads.
Macs goto move was kicking his opponents in the balls. This 3rd string star will be cut from the Patriots.
Great video. As a Pats fan I really believed in him until that Colts game. A lot of the previous games this year, MAC had done what he needed to do to win the game but poor receiver play in the clutch cost us the games. I guess all the drops and failed toe drags were preventing me from seeing all these major flaws MAC had that were put on full display against the Colts and Giants. Like against the Dolphins in week 2, MAC could have stood tall and took a hit on that throw to Gesicki on 4th down, but he faded backwards and Gesicki couldn’t catch it in stride for the 1st.
That really is the thing with the Pats this year. Everyone is blaming him for the terrible record now because Zappe is doing solid (sometimes), when it really was a combination of everything (the QB, bad WRs, inconsistent running game, inconsistent O-line, poor special teams play, bad coaching decisions, etc.). Hell, even the defense is guilty of giving up A LOT of big plays on 3rd and 4th downs that take away time of posession, but no one ever wants to talk about that for some reason.
@@Scott_Dunbar_II Nah it was Mac Jones selling. Defense kept him in games to win and sold. Just like bro said about that Colts and Giants game was the clear picture that he needed to warm the bench
@@FunGamerFever I know it's hard to believe but Mac was actually doing okay passing-wise in the Colts game before the horrible interception. Everyone remembers the interception, but barely anyone remembers that Zeke was going to score a TD at one point but ran into Strange from behind just short and they couldn't score (keystone cop type crap). Barely anyone remembers that Ryland missed a chip shot field goal that ultimately led to the Pats having to try to get a game-winning touchdown instead of a game-winning field goal. Barely anyone remembers the punt return unit failing miserably to block a punt on an all out blitz without a return man, giving up lots and lots of field and setting the O up for more failure. The Giants game was just a mess all over the place. You brought up that Mac Jones was selling, if true, the defense and special teams have also sold going back to 2022, especially in the Vikings game, The lunatic lateral game, almost the first 2023 Bills game, and the Commanders game. Final consensus? Mac was just part of the problem, and it was evident when Zappe arguably played way worse than him in that final stretch of games.
@Scott_Dunbar_II Well clearly they both sucked. But Zappe did get some impressive wins against a ferocious Steelers defense and red hot Broncos which he ended there playoff hopes that game. Mac Jones would never. I can see him scared all game and pick sixes yet again. The whole point is that y'all are emotional and a fan of Mac Jones that you try to justify his mistakes. Clearly he's not good at reading the defense and when qbs can't get over that humo then they deserve the backup position cause they're not a game winning starter cause you want a consistent qb to move you downfield with ease spreading the rock around
@@FunGamerFever You are overrating Zappe and giving him WAY too much credit. He played well in those and deserves praise, of course, but he also got SUPER LUCKY, a ton of good fortune went in the Pats favor in both games and they still barely won by three points each time. With Mac, the Pats had a ton of bad breaks go against them and they'd only lose by a single score most of the time (he's had LOTS of nice deep passes dropped). Additionally, Zeke played out of his mind in the Steelers game and Barmore played out of his mind in the Broncos game, and let me tell you something, the Pats DO NOT win those games without their respective performances, so why are you only giving Zappe credit for those wins when he wasn't even the best player in either of them? Saying " he ended there playoff hopes that game" is just stupid, because not only was it a TEAM WIN where Zappe (again) wasn't even the best player, but the Broncos still had 2 games left to get just above .500 and squeak in, but Payton inexplicably benched Russ and cowardly gave up on their chances. Does that comeback win against the Bills where Mac played great all game seriously mean nothing to you? You bring up the pick-sixes to deter Mac, reasonable to an extent, but it's foolish to do so when comparing him to Zappe, who came DANGEROUSLY close to surpassing the number of pick-sixes Mac threw in less games played. At what point did I justify Mac's mistakes? I literally said that Colts interception was horrible, along with at least 3 others he threw this past season that were all his fault. With that being said, it would not be fair at all to observe that 2023 season and criticize Mac for his bad play while also failing to criticize the MANY OTHER players and coaches who did also did poorly.
Great video man. I will say that Mac was pretty cocky coming out of college, abd he was certainly humbled. However, he is just not getting any help while his recievers and Offensive line are among the worst in the league. All the star QB's in this league have at least one star reciever and at least a solid o line. Yes Travis Kelce counts. I think Mac will go elswhere and be solid. I hope we win at least one more game so that we don't draft a top QB. I don't want his career to be ruined by Bill Belifraud.
Nah mac is shit only way he’d be solid is if he went to San Francisco
I agree with the offensive line and receiver however I think he is too affected by pressure to truly succeed in the NFL right now. That isn't to say he can't get over it.
You don't know shit@@Liviofaus16
Brady didn't have any and he won the title with Tampa. Once again it proves the Pats was all about Tom Brady.
Nah Brady a lot of years had no star WRs but was still a goat
Brady only had a star WR in 2007 with moss
With all due respect, I can't argue with this. Obviously, Mac's NFL failure was influenced by the incompetence of Matt Patricia (Now the Eagles' DC) and Joe Judge (Now the Pats' vice head coach) as offensive coaches, but he nevertheless never did anything to prove he could overcome adversity outside of his rookie year. And when I say that, I'm talking about his poor accuracy, lack of good decision-making, and most importantly his excuses. When Bill O'Brien returned to New England, I thought I would see improvement from the embattled 3rd-year passer, but after seeing how poorly he played (224 of 345 for 2,120 yards, 10 TDs and 12 INTs, 77 passer rating), I knew I was wrong. Bottom line here is that Mac is not much more than a bust. It's not completely his fault he fell from grace, but at this point, it's time for the Pats to let him go and find a new QB in his place. Idk if they'll pick a QB in the draft next year, trade for a veteran starter, or pick one out in free agency, but regardless of what happens this offseason, I can assure you that Mac would've fared better had they kept Josh McDaniels as OC and actually built around him. Hopefully he'll find a team where he can start fresh, even though he'll likely be a backup for the remainder of his career.
Patriots O line ranks dead last in time allowed in the pocket for the qb. How do you expect a qb to throw the ball with no time with there best receiver being pop douglas
@@lukekarvelis84
I never said it was all his fault. Obviously, the pass O-Line is indeed bad, but Mac certainly hasn’t helped things with his poor decision-making. I’m sorry, but Mac doesn’t have what it takes to be a franchise quarterback. That isn’t automatically to say his career is over, but he’s likely to be a backup for however much longer his NFL career lasts.
Thing is he actually was decent in handling adversity. Last year, his best game came against the Vikings, which the Pats lost due to questionable officiating, bad defense, and TERRIBLE special teams play. In his worst game against the Raiders, despite all the stupid things that occured throughout and his bad performance, he still led a would-be game-winning touchdown drive that was wasted due to a defensive choke-job and even more questionable officiating (we all know how that ended). In the Bengals game, after getting completely shut out through 3 quarters, Mac and KB came alive and lit up the Bengals D to score those 2 unanswered touchdowns (granted there was a little help from the the refs). The Pats had another chance at a potential game-winning drive when Judon stripped Chase, but then Stevenson ruined it by losing that fumble on the 4-yard-line (Another reason to hate Patricia, the red zone offense was dead-last). Finally, in the last Bills game, Mac made a very valiant effort in trying to keep up with the scoreboard as the kickoff team gave up 2 TOUCHDOWNS by throwing for 3 of his own, and the picks he threw are not all on him either, he was trying do dig his team out of a hole he had nothing to do with making. Overall, I wouldn't say Mac was "good" in 2022, but he was still solid and effecient, and the reason why most don't look at it better is because of him being placed in a lousy coaching situation while experiencing Marty Schottenheimer levels of bad luck at the same time.
@@Scott_Dunbar_II
You have a point there. It’s a real shame that Mac couldn’t regain his original form, but it really goes to show you that he had the wrong coaches for the job last season, and that’s what kinda screwed him over this season, even with Bill O’Brien back as OC
@@Milwaukeeroadfan Certainly. This year it's KIND OF the same situation. The offensive coaching has improved, but the bad luck still persists (missed calls, terrible drops, defensive mistakes, etc.) and even worse, his mentality has regressed. However, the games that I've seen where he has played well proves to me that he has the ability to be a starter in the NFL. Unfortunately though, it's likely not on the Pats, and as a fan of the dude, he needs a hard reset somewhere else.
Awesome video. Former Mac believer and probably still am but watching him pre draft process you hit the nail on the head. It showed in his tape in the small glimpses he played where when he saw pressure he would panic or his footwork would just get sloppy. He showed it a ton in his years at NE and pretty consistently towards the end of his rookie year.
Id add the talent surrounded by Mac showed more of how low his ceiling is. I think hes better than a guy like Sam Howell but I do believe Mac is super sped up allowing for defenses to take advantage on his weaknesses (arm strength). Mac can turn it around but he seriously needs to identify how he can slow down the game again.
Thank you! I think you're spot on with the talent around him and arm strength as well. At Alabama his weak arm showed less because he could just air it out to Smith and Waddle
What u all fail to report is: Mac is not after Brady. He is after Cam Newton. Cam had a far worse situation than Mac. Cam didn’t have hardly no weapons at all! But, In 2020,
he’s 7-8, 3245 total yds, 21 total tds, & 65.8 completion. Certain writers wouldn’t give Cam all his credits. Cam got voted Capt & never lost the locker room.
Cam got re-signed & they cut Cam on 8/31/21. Bill B said Cam is the Starter. In 2 hrs later, Kraft cut Cam & shocked the world. It’s reported Mac beat Cam. But, he didn’t.
Cam was a great Patriot QB & he handled how he got mistreated with class, & with stellar leadership. I admire Cam to this day how he still was able to still promote Mac even though he got cut after all jobs got filled up so late. To this day, I don’t know why they did Cam like that. The players loved Cam. Cam never deserted the Patriots. He worked 14-15 hour days. Why did Hoyer & Stidham keep a job, & they threw a good man like Cam out in ugly fashion?
Cam respects Belichick, Josh, & others, to this day. Patriots fans still love Cam, too! 💕❤️ 🙏
One thing I saw early in the season was that the protection was so bad Mac had to concentrate on getting the ball out so fast that he started to make more bad decisions, and when the team got behind he tried to make a play when he should just throw the ball away. But the three weeks or so when no one knew who would start took away any confidence he might have had left. They should just have gone to Zappe so they could at least see what he could do.
He’s toast beyond repair
Breaks Down in the Clutch
Too Many Interceptions
He will never start again
Dudes a dirty player... doesn't deserve a second chance
Or his opponents are fucking crybabies
I just hope the Patriots bring Josh McDaniels back next season 2024
To be fair he was part of a draft class that was massively overrated
He made a fortune. I hope him the best.
As a NE fan, it really sucks watching him fall apart, he deserved better, and I think he could’ve done better, it hurt to watch him
When the
who's were dropping perfect passes right in their hands in crucial situations. The media blamed Jones. We lost quite a few games because no one could hold on to the ball.And don't get me started on the O-line.
Remember when they blamed Cam for everything and now they want him back😂😂
I think not getting in a offensive coordinator as a offensive coordinator in his 2nd season stopped his progress
Mac just doesn't have the killer instinct and the abject hatred of losing required to be the QB and leader of the team
Don’t you have to be good to have a downfall
Once you're afraid to be hit in the NFL, you're done. Brady's first preseason game, he was on the other side, facing Drew Henson who Brady finally beat out in Michigan. But Brady got more fired up, when he was hit. Drew Henson got hit and played in one NFL Game. He was terrified of being hit. Brady made our Patriots a double Dynasty!! 💯 🐐
In order to have a downfall you have to be good in the first place which he never was
Reality has set in hard for the Patriots
Outside of their glory with Tom Brady, they’ve never done much as a franchise without him- Either before he came along or since he left
Outside of 20 years of dominance and 6 Super Bowls lol
Nice video brother great production work! keep it up 👍🏻
he’s just not good simple as that, you can’t even say that “he has no weapons” or “he has no offensive line” because Zappe has managed to play fine despite being in the same situation as Mac Jones.
Zappe has been crap what are you watching?
Zappe throwing stats are worse
@@njrogasZappe has been doing slightly better than Mac Jones. Beating Denver when they were red hot and beating the Steelers defense with ease. Mac Jones would never. I see pick sixes in both games if he started again
College Don't equal NFL SUCCESS !!
JOHNNY MANZIEL SYNDROME !
Who’s here after he put up a disaster of a game against the Vikings? 😂
They made Matt Patricia the OC. WTF did everyone think the offense would look like?
The parallels to Kenny Pickett are wild!
This is the reason why Pats are tanking their games. They want to move up to the drafts.
Alabama over inflated his value as a Quarterback, which is good and bad. Being at a great program in college can do that, having a great Line, Running-backs, and Wide-outs. May not prepare you for the next level. It made everything to easy!
Another thing i think is worthy of mention here is the fact that when mac came off his ankle injury he wasnt 100 percent and in the game vs chicago he wasnt even the main starter he split reps with zappe not making excuses for everything that happened but that was an agregious ly awful descion that i think dont get enough attention
He will do extremely well if he can get a line and some competent receivers
Mac even plays madden on rookie
Wow... I never thought about that high ankle sprain affecting him this much. Great video!
It really shows you how mental sport is at the highest level. Even the slight knock in confidence due to injury can create massive problems.
The dysfunctional environment that was fostered in the late days of Brady's tenure and in the years after, created the perfect storm for a young quarterback to fail in.
He basically walked into a petty pissing contest between a coach and his former player and fell victim to the NFL's continual over valuation of Belichick assistants, whonkept taking jobs elsehwere trying to create something they weren't quaified to do.
These over valued assistants completely tanked that crucial 2nd year of development and the Jones didnt recover from tailspin.
The Patriots did him a solid by sending him back home in a trade and FINALLY admitting that if Belichick was allowed to stay, New England would have become THE MOST undesired destination for players.
Let’s be honest, the Patriots have no one on offense to help him. WRs are trash.
He's not backing up anybody. He'll be out of the league by the end of the season.
Mac Jones had everything in Alabama, probably the only reason he was good. Once faced with adversity he turned into a whiny brat often lashing out at coaches and teammates or leaking to the press. I am so glad he is outta NE. Two to three more years as a backup and then bounced from the NFL- not anywhere near his over hyped talent 😂
Mac is going to be hearing footsteps for the rest of his life!
It ain’t about how long you lived, it’s about how good you are
No one ruined Mac he was always what he was
The Patriots offense absolutely sucked. Bad luck for Mac Jones to be the QB of that unit.
Well for mac it's a tough act to follow being the next pats qb after tom brady it's like he was doom to fail
Cam Newton to bridge the gap between Brady and Mac. Regardless, I agree with you. It a lot of pressure for anyone to try and fill those shoes
@@NotAnInsider the new pats quarterback looks like the real deal I think he's the next great one for them
@@BryantThompson-it4dz A team can hope but I did a whole video on draft picks and quarterbacks if you want to check it out. I hope he's good but you never really know
Everyone knew that Mac Jones didn’t have the arm talent of most of the successful QBs in the league. I think Bill and everyone else was hoping he could make up for that with ungodly mental toughness, super-human ability to process the game and an insane work ethic like another QB we all know. Unfortunately, there will only ever be one Tom Brady. And you can’t coach one into existence which is what I think Bill thought he could do.
He was never really good but neither was the patriots wide receivers in New England. Replacing Tom Brady isn’t easy for anyone.
Exactly! It is very hard to replace a great QB (just ask Marino's replacement, Jim Kelly's replacement, Joe Montana's replacement, John Elway's replacement, etc.)
Mac Jones never replaced Tom Brady!
Cam Newton replaced Brady in 2020-2021!
Mac Jones is after Cam Newton not Brady!
Stop getting it twisted!
@@elizabethgodfrey1033 I mean.. if you want to be technical, Cam Newton was the place holder for the next Tom Brady. He wasn’t the replacement.
Jarrett Stidham is who trained with Brady!
Cam Newton competed vs Stidham & Hoyer! Cam won it fair!
Cam is the first QB1, for 2020, votes Captain, & got re-signed to the Patriots.
He is not a f*cking placeholder, u hater! Stop stealing his work. A placeholder is a backup QB.
Cam led the Patriots through a tumultuous 2020, the PaNdemic, & no weapons.
Stop being dirty & stealing his work.
Mac is a bust!
Cam was the best since Brady, left!
Cam broke 4 records, & voted Captain, too!
@douglepong
1. Go read, & See my above comments!
2. Also, Cam had gotten re-signed! The job got snitched out of his hands for Mac Jones at the last hours! Mac Jones began hanging out with the Owner at his big mansion, too, before, it! 😳🙄👁👁😞
I said his first year it was only a matter of time before he fell apart. He looked like he was about to sht his pants every time he got hit
Facts
There was only one college year to evaluate him and that was during a Covid season. He was too hyped and his natural talents could never live up to that.
The patriots roster during Macs rookie was bad and somehow it has gotten worse each season. This year they pretty much said “hey, we know the oline is in shambles, receivers are subpar and our running scheme doesn’t work. So we are going to let your favorite safety blanket and best friend Jakobi Meyers leave for Vegas and replace him with an unstartable JuJu smith Schuster”
Jones didn’t have it he crumbled under any hint of pressure
He wasn’t clutch
He’s toast
The Pats won those rings because of Brady is blatantly obvious. Calling Belichick the greatest coach in NFL history is a joke.
They won the first 3 because of the Patriots Defense
What downfall? He was never good? Just another qb drafted that’s a bust.
He’s the definition of a system QB
it can't be a downfall if he never was up
Just not true lmao
I put Belichick at fault for Mac Jones’ demise. Coach didn’t give his complete support to Mac and failed to develop Mac’s abilities. Instead his wore down Mac’s confidence. Belichick is coaching as if it is the 1990’s. Feel bad for Mac, he has talent.
I don’t even blame Belichick the coach. Belichick the GM has been terrible for years. Towards the end of Brady’s time with the Patriots, his best weapon was an aging Julian Edelman. We’ve missed on so many draft picks, signed a lot of bad contracts, let key players walk, and losing Scarnecchia started the downfall of the Offensive Line.
First off BB was not responsible for the drafting of Jones....that decision came from up.above. Secondly can we please dtop.the idiotic Bill wanted Mac to fail? No. You're right BB wanted to have a couple of bad seasons to prove Mac was a mistake. He was the reason Jones messed wide open receivers and made horrendous reads over and over again.
Stop the excuses buddy. Mac Jones is terrible. He's a turnover machine because he can't read defenses, lack of pocket awareness, panics when he see pressure and forces the ball, and no field observation
The true reason Mac Jones fell apart: Bill Belichick. Bill the coach is great. Bill the GM built a roster devoid of talent and having overpaid receiving “weapons”. Consider that Bailey Zappe *also* isn’t playing well, and we let Malik Cunningham go.
lack of great receivers and good oc did him dirty the second year, and that really threw him off this season with the teapot in charge of offense/playcalling and not the best receivers, though juju and Parker and gesicki are good.
Hey! Not a lot of other "failures" can say that their employer is bound to honor their $16 million 4-year contract if they are cut and leave the NFL.
He comes out a winner! That will buy a lot of good cigars!
Mac is a disaster. He folded like a cheap lawn chair under pressure. What a bust. At least he got $20 million for his embarrassing collapse.
I had hope for Mac and wish him well. Mental side of the game is huge and something seemed to happen last year to destroy his confidence. His pocket presence and movement make him a sitting duck. Zappe seems to take far less direct hits and climbs the pocket to get clear throws. As I have heard players say when you play not to get hurt you get hurt.
Now he’s going to be traded to Jacksonville for a 6th-round pick
Fair assessment.
Mac NEEDS a change of scenery. Maybe the Broncos, Raiders, Commanders. Or maybe even take a backup role and chill and reset
He should hangout with Baker Mayfield to regain confidence…
Has he even been alive long enough to have a downfall
6:47 Every QB gets hit. Herbert broke is rib cartlidge in 2022 and never missed a game. Other QB stay in the pocket throwing until they get hit.
You can't wait until you have SF Oline around you. Most QBs don't and even Purdy gets hit. I really think Mac is a product of having a very good college career and NFL level is a hard leap.
Sorry Wack Jones you are in the big boy league now and if you are that scared of being hit you are in the wrong career
How can there be a downfall when theres never been success??
Who wouldve guessed your young QB will fail with the 32nd OL and 31st WRs
After all this, i would be ok with keeping mac as the starter if we invest in Oline and Receivers this offseason. No matter qho we get at quarterback, this team is not a playoff caliber team without weapons.
Buddy Mac Jones was simply not the answer. You can't make excuses about "weapons and o-line" cause explain his rookie year? He fell because he was inconsistent and it finally caught up to him. He sucks at reading defense, no arm strength, lack of pocket awareness and no field observation. It's clear that he wasn't gonna last long as a starter
Kid was mismanaged by the pats but he’s not that good. Being the qb at Alabama is playing on medium because everyone else is so good.
This video GROSSLY disrespects Cam
Newton as the First Patriot QB1 to follow Tom Brady!
2020- Tom
Brady goes to Buccaneers
July 2020 Cam Newton is QB1 for NE Patriots
2021- Mac Jones follows
Cam Newton. Mac He is not aft Brady.
🚨Side Note:
Robert Kraft OVERRODE Bill Belichick gave the job to Mac. Mac never beat Cam. It was FALSE!
2020 Stats:
Cam Newton 3245 total yds, 21 total tds, is
7-8 in 15 games, & 66% completion.
NE Media would not report Cam’s total record.
They lied and said Cam only my had 8! Cam
Is a Dual threat QB, not just a pocket passer.!
His 1historic td Catch made him to have 21, with his historic 12 Rushing TDs. Cam
Made History as a Patriot but they didn’t list it, nor give him his due Credit in the Media! 😯😞
Lol female talking sports
Mac probably would be nice in SF tbh
He never went up to have a downfall 😂
Well he had a great rookie season
I believe he will be good. Get him a better coach that believes in him like mike Daniels and Tua.
Mac was a victim of Bills vindictiveness!!
Downfall? What downfall? Don't you have to be good to begin with in order to have a downfall?
Mac was a star at Alabama and he had the best rookie year of all the QB's in his draft class. I think that could be considered a downfall
@@NotAnInsider nah, being good in college is completely different than being good in the NFL, which he has never been.
Hey man! How do i contact you asap?
Really hoping NATHAN ROURKE gets some snaps in the WEEK 18 game vs. the JETS.
Mac jones is in a bad situation the Wrs sucks the Rb/Te are not that good. Then the HC makes a defensive coordinator an offensive coordinator. Hurts,Tua,Jones and Young are why I’m watching the NFL now. Draft Harrison and sign a big free agent Wrs to be your number 1 until Harrison is ready for wr1 duty.
I don't blame Jones, he has no linesman protecting him, and he has no one to throw to.
But when Cam was there it was all cams fault huh💀💀
Zappe was doing better than Mac Jones with that same o-line and receiver so stop the excuses. He was clearly the issue at being a turnover machine because he can't read a defense to save his life, he has accuracy problems, and he lacks pocket awareness
Tom Brady 2001-2019
Cam Newton 2020-2021
Mac Jones 2021-2023
Bailey Zappe 2023- Jan 2024
Special Note: Cam Newton got re-signed early!
He’s the best after Brady in 2020, with the very least amount of weapons. He had no Camp not Pre-season. Mac & Zappe both had it!
Cam
Is the first successor!
Mac is “not” before Cam!
Stop the disrespect!!
Seems to me the solution is simple. He needs an O-Line. His time in NE is done, and I hate that. If he went somewhere like the rams who have an aging Stafford or maybe even Denver, who have given up on Russel Wilson, he could return to pro bowl form, teams that have a guy he could learn from, but also an o-line who will give him more than 1.5 seconds. Bill really misused him, and maybe he just isnt cut out for the NFL, but considering his best season was his rookie year and he still had a proper WR like Nelson Agholor, he might still have a starting job. Yet now, fans like me have to sit and watch Zappe do the same damn thing Mac was doing, but with an o-line who havent given up on the guy they are meant to protect for more than a second. I hope he gets another starting gig, and has a successful career, because what the Patriots have done giving him an OC roulette is depressing
Its over....broken...about time
Now he's back home in JVille best place for him!
I mean it’s very fair to say they just failed to develop him at All , no offense outside of jakobi meyers and than they get rid of him
I'm a raiders fan and I'd take him over every qb we have right now
All these talented top tier Quarterbacks would struggle behind that O-Line and lack of weapons
hes terrible. Being outperformed by zappe
I can’t respect how u did this video, and u didn’t include that Cam
Newton is the QB 1 for 2020, after Brady left the Patriots in a frenzy. It wasn’t Mac’s job. It was Cam who was re-signed. Bill B chose Cam for 2021! Kraft overruled & got Mac. Cam
never lost the locker room & was voted Captain of Offense.
Cam handles it well how dirty he got treated. Mac Jones didn’t beat out Cam. It’s a lie. NE Media lied & reported it. It’s unfair. I’m glad Cam Newton
handled it so mature & well! God blessed Cam in Media! 👏💕🙏☮️
When mac got to the Patriots he was fine great rookie year but Bill broke him like tua and Flores ,I firmly believe when he leaves and goes to another team he will be good again under the right coach look Bill talked to Brady like a dog even Sabin said it was rough working for him dude is an ass who treats people like crap if you aren't tough enough you are going to wilt
Is his NFL career really over? He's been in the NFL for what a year? I think if Zappe can't do it next season, he might get a new chance?
McCorkle. Enough said.
The guys wrote off with 46-36 - 85.8 rating in a horrible side.. geez the NFL is cut throat.
Well Zappe did much, much worse than Jones. Patriots need a rebuild on the o-lines badly. And they badly need a WR1. There were only 2 games where lines and receivers both clicked and that's when Jones did well.
3 coordinators, no weapons , no O-line , he's not Superstar but not That Bad either so...
