Major reshuffle is on the cards for the Patriots roster. The team that has won Super Bowl six times in the last 20 years is facing difficulties even securing wins this season. Amidst all major changes required, QB Mac Jones’ place is now under threat more than ever with the Patriots out of the playoffs already.

Giving their worst performance in decades, the team has lost 8 games reaching the Week 11. The Patriots that once produced the legendary QB Tom Brady are now facing a conundrum on their first-choice quarterback. While Mac Jones suffers the brunt of the crisis surrounding the New England side, the team sure has new prospects to look at for replacement.

Speculations surround the QB position for the Patriots

Mac Jones has had a forgettable season so far. In his ten appearances with the Patriots, he has managed a meager ten touchdowns. Looks like the performance of the QB has demanded Bill Belichick to make some hard decisions. Don Kleiman shared the update on X that talked about the future of Mac Jones with the team.

The post started by acknowledging that the news currently speculates as just “RUMORS.” However, it further went on to address the placement of the star in the team. It was revealed that Jones is speculated to “almost certainly be benched and will probably be demoted to 3rd-string going forward.” This information was shared by insider Tom Curran.

Don Kleiman also shed light on who is likely to replace the keyman. Two names that will join the race for the Patriot’s QB are Will Grier and Bailey Zappe. Will these replacements prove to be sufficient going forward this season? Only time will tell! But we have got a major update on who will likely be looked at for the starting QB position for the Patriots in 2024!

MLFootball shared the update “USC QB Caleb Williams is now the favorite to be the the New England Patriots starting quarterback in 2024.” The 21-year-old QB is a fresh find who plays in the NCAA football for the Trojans. However, 2024 is still a long way to go as the Patriots have some fresh troubles to deal with still.

The Patriots and the challenges ahead

The team is currently sitting at the bottom of the points table in the AFC East with just .200 points. The players are currently relaxing in their bye week and will face the New York Giants next Sunday. The Giants are holding a similar record as the Patriots this season as they too have won just two games out of ten.
