I hear the O-Line is allowing Mac an average of 2.3 seconds. That stinks.
Speaking of Phil. Phil I don’t know if you started delving into the draft yet. If the Pats have pick #3 in the 24 NFL Draft & they have either Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, Marvin Harrison Jr. or OT Olumuyiwa Fashanu available.
Which would you pick?
Patriots need a strong arm QB to play outside in the elements. Maybe Pats can trade Mac to the Falcons for a 2nd round pick. 😏
Patriots did Tom Brady a favor. He was winning nothing here. Anyone remember 2019? 2020, the roster only improved fractionally adding Demiere Byrde. Plus the Pats had like $24 million in dead money.
Phill Perry is the goat !🐐
I’m a jets fan but I find Tom Curran very entertaining.
As Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks often talk about this with QB's, you have your "trucks" and you have your "trailers". Trucks are the QB's that can pull their team out of situations, the ones that make the team go and can carry the team. Trailers are the QB's that the TEAM has to help pull them out of situations, the TEAM helps make the QB go and the TEAM has to carry the QB most of the time.
After everything that's transpired, TB12 is a truck and Mac Jones is a trailer. Nothing wrong with that but Coach Belichick hasn't built this team around Mac to win. The TE's are good but it's hard to throw to those guys when you're laying on your back looking up at the lights.😂
However, Mac's also got plenty of turnovers he probably wants to have back (I.E. Mac has the same amount of "Pick Sixes", in his tenure, that Tom Brady has in his WHOLE CAREER, at Gillette Stadium).
no, there ain't enough masking tape in the world
I think this team goes 5 and 12 and we go straight into a rebuild after this season. This team is not completing with Miami or Buffalo, and we are 50/50 with the jets. We are 50/50 with bad teams. We either draft a new QB or we draft a sh*t load of weapons and build around Mac.
You keep saying Jonnu sucks yet every week he makes plays in Atlanta. Maybe the QB throwing him the ball was the problem.
12 personnel for 60% of snaps… get the running game going! There is no reason they shouldn't be able to run the ball this year… there was almost no change from last year. Not saying this is a path to the playoffs!! Just will allow us to stay in games and no get embarrassed. Also, not sure why the line is getting hammered for their pass protection. What is everyone looking at… they gave up 10 sacks… this BY NO MEANS amongst the worst in the league.
Holy shitttttttttttttttt Tom fastest flip flop ever! You let Phil and Bedard poison you back into being a Mac guy? HE SUCKSSSSS how the hell are you guys still on his side?
Imagine if Bill re-signed Meyers, sign Hoptkins and beefed up the O-line to start the season? I bet we'd be having a different conversation today…
Appreciated the honesty, expertise & humor. Thank you Tom & Phil!
Mac Jones cant fix himself let alone the Patriots. A total bust who will get replaced by Will Grier.
Meyers was better than Schuster & Cuttingham was a more accomplished QB in college than Anthony Richardson. Is this comment wrong?
Soon Mac will be struggling to hold on as a backup QB in the NFL. To think we could have drafted Lamar Jackson or I would even take Fields right now over Mac.
Marcus Mariota in 12 starts as a rookie
19tds 10picks 91 QB rating.
Mac in 17 starts 22tds 13 picks 92 rating. Please explain why Mac will ever be the answer?
Marcus had a rating over 90 4 of his first 5 years. He’s been a backup for 3 of the last 4 years which is exactly what Mac will turn out to be.
Caleb Williams is overrated! Michael Penix Jr is the play!
Patriots colapse began when Bill did not support bradys last 4 or 5 years here. With a couple of players here and there brady could have won 1 or 2 S Bowls. Its been 4 or 5 years but really its been 7 years because bill did nothing then. Build a new stadium in boston give bill his watch hire a whole new Staff new players. Give johnathan the keys and lets Gooooo
