New England Patriots Gives Last Chance for Mac Jones to Shine

The Patriots have had a disastrous season in the NFL in 2023. Amidst Bill Belichick‘s future under constant speculation, the team is at a crossroads. They haven’t had any luck with their current QB options, and with Mac Jones constantly criticized, Bailey Zappe hasn’t faired any better. In addition to this, the latest decision might not water down the fire anytime soon.

Mac Jones has faced heavy backlash for his performances this season. Another update from Patriots camp could very well make or break the rest of his season. But can he or Belichick revive the nearly-over Patriots game?

Mac Jones wobbles between a rock and a hard place

The QB was the starter as NFL 2023 began. But over the last couple of weeks, that has come under heavy speculation. But for the Week 12 match against the Giants, he is set to start for the New England Patriots, as per insider sources.

The QB with 10 TDs this season gets yet another chance to find his feet as the Patriots resign to playoff contention with 7 games remaining. But what does that change in the bigger picture? The ship has been sinking with Belichick at the wheel, and Jones is one of the holes that can temporarily be repaired. But that doesn’t guarantee a long-term solution for the other problems.

Mac Jones: a falling piece of Bill Belichick’s game

Just like Jones, Belichick’s future is uncertain as well. News came out earlier in the season that he had signed a contract extension with the franchise, but a lot of water has flown since. The Patriots are out of playoff hopes effectively, after a 2-8 record with 7 games remaining in the season. And a significant part of the community believes that Belichick has had enough with the Patriots, and vice versa.

Belichick is the last standing member of the Golden Era Patriots which won six Super Bowls… And the first one too, as he engineered the unrivaled Dynasty that began in the early 2000s. It was historic, it was majestic while it lasted. But just like every good thing, it is coming to an end. At least that’s what the surroundings suggest.

Call it a sinking ship, call it a chess game that’s already lost… it’s a sad turnaround that a few saw coming in the end. The pieces of Belichick’s game are falling down one by one, and Mac Jones is just one of them. Although he has been given another lifeline to save the downhill Patriots, no one knows how long it is before the game is over.
