The New England Patriots face a quarterback dilemma post-Tom Brady era. Following the revered quarterback’s departure, Mac Jones emerged as the Patriots’ potential successor, facing the daunting task of filling Brady’s shoes. Impressively, the young quarterback showcased his skills during his rookie season. Named the starting quarterback for the 2021 season, Jones outperformed Cam Newton in the competition.
However, he encountered difficulties in the initial three games after a change in the Patriots’ offensive coordinator, which affected his performance. Jones showed promise as a rookie but struggled early on due to offensive coordinator changes and an ankle injury. The Patriots’ uncertainty led to rumors of a potential trade, leaving fans skeptical. Amidst this QB situation, an NFL correspondent seized the opportunity to critique Jones and the Patriots’ handling of the situation.
