Mac Jones is being shopped because Bill Belichick is an asshole
Dysfunction. That’s the only word to describe the New England Patriots right now. Mac Jones is in the middle of a pissing war between the old egomaniac coach and the old egomaniac owner. Ya know why? Because Mac Jones is perfectly average. It has nothing to do with Mac Jones and everything to do with Bill Belichick being an asshole who clearly doesn’t really give a shit anymore and the owner trying to wade his time with this grumpy bastard so they can celebrate together at Gillette Stadium with the world’s largest jumbotron shoveling a couple more piles of dirt on Don Shula’s grave.
Yes, Mac Jones mortally wounded Bill last year when he went outside the organization for help with the offense. Yes, on a couple occasions Mac lost his shit at the coaches. Now because of those things there has been a smear job done on this kid the likes of which we have not seen since Wes Welker was benched and thrown out of town for poking fun of Rex Ryan’s foot fetish. Not only is it a smear campaign its a professional sabotage. Mac’s #1 target Jackobi Myers? Buh Bye. Mentor and on field coach Brian Hoyer? Buh bye. Hoyer didn’t go full Manchurian candidate for Patricia so you’re out. Best bud from College, Damian Harris- See ya.
Have we forgotten who Bill Belichick put in charge of the offense to help mold, motivate, and mentor his young QB? The guy who literally can’t step foot in the city of Detroit because of the hack job he put on the Lions. The guy who couldn’t get a job after being fired from the Lions save his buddy Bill because he was free and can’t get a job now, but if you’re to believe reports there are rumblings Patricia is on his way back to New England after failing to secure employment with in literally any other organization. But, Bill is pissed at Mac because why? Because he was right? Bill and his old tits are so caught up in his own arrogance he PROMOTED Joe Judge this year. Cam Accord was coach of one of the worst Special Teams units in the league. Not his fault. Let’s go dump DeAndre Hopkins’ guaranteed money on a couple freaking gunners. I’m saying it now. I’m out on Bill Belichick.
The sample size is big enough now post Brady to conclude that either Bill was always just an above average coach with the greatest player of all time or at the least he is just playing out the string on his own schedule resting on his past success. What ever the truth is to how great Belichick truly was or is as a coach the train for dog shit decisions starting with blowing Brady out for New England has been obtuse.
Replace Brady with Cam Newton
Refuse to sit Cam Newton due to some unknown bullshit, therefore never really understanding what you had in Stidham.
Bringing Cam Newton back
Replacing Josh McDaniels with Matt Patricia and Joe Judge
Stripping his coaching staff down to free buddies and his kids
Cole Strange was a 1st round pick!
The list goes on. How many poor decisions need to be made at the football operations level to understand that the old man has either lost it or doesn’t give a shit. RG3 gets it.
Look, Mac Jones aint going anywhere. Robert Kraft his gumming away in the media, lauding over the kid while in the same breathe talking about how Lamar Jackson wants to come to New England. Thank you Meek Mills. You think that’s a coincidence? He went on to say all football decisions are up to Belichick when it comes to Lamar, as Belichick ended the season bitching about how much money he has to spend. All that is to say Robert Kraft is high on Mac Jones because he is cheap. And he aint going to be the one holding the candle when it comes to not bringing Lamar Jackson in.
Here’s your conclusion. Mac Jones remains in New England this year. Bill O’Brien was brought in by Kraft to amend for the Patricia “Experiment”. Mac Jones will prove to be the perfectly average QB Belichick has told us he can win with forever and they will win. 9 - 10 games and flirt with the playoffs. Fuck outta here with the Zappe Fever resurgence. That little guy is the Brian Hoyer cloned with a better hair line.
This it aint gunna be pretty. The divide will continue to grow. The locker room will be on the verge of fracturing if not for the Scientist - Matthew Slater there to meld the warring sides together. They will beat up the bad teams and fall short to the good teams. Guess what, if the owner and Coach could just be honest with each other they would both be fine with that outcome until Shula’s corpse is finally put to rest. Welcome to the new New England Patriots experience. Instead of Do Your Job - Win SuperBowls. Do as your told - Shoot for the playoffs.
