“Just Don’t Think That Future Will Include a Lot of Playoff Wins”: Mac Jones Being Hailed ‘Future’ of New England Patriots Leaves Many Feeling Underwhelmed

After Tom Brady left the New England Patriots, there was a gaping hole in the quarterback position. However, after a couple of shifts in the QB1 position, it seems like Mac Jones has filled the big shoes. While he has been surrounded by controversy, Jones has proven himself to be a quarterback with great potential. The young quarterback also received a word of confidence from his teammate.

His veteran teammate’s words went viral, and they received a largely underwhelming response. As the vote of confidence for Jones went viral on Twitter, fans themselves were thoroughly unimpressed. Jones might not be garnering the same confidence from fans as he is from his teammates.
