Pats shopping Jones?
19 replies
Reality, or pre-draft smokescreen? Precursor to a play for Lamar? Hmmmm….
1) It’s from Florio
2) Trade value for QBs that the team has given up on is very low, which goes against Belichek’s philosophy of buy low/sell high.
3) Not sure anyone thinks Mac Jones is anything more than a backup/stop-gap/low tier starter at this point. So what the Pats will get in return will be less than what they give up.
4) He’s still on his rookie deal so there isn’t any salary cap advantage to moving on from him.
Not saying it can’t happen, but I would be surprised if it did.i

don't discount the grumpy old coach who doesn't have patience for the mediocre QB that whines publicly about his situation. BB knows he's not contending right now. The whole New England area knows it too.

Ohio Fanaticsubscriberthe sh**** thing is, we all knew Mac wasn't as good as Tua. Not that he's a bust (in New England), the fans here don't care because they are so fairweather in this area. takes all the fun out of trash talking

Perhaps Bill should be looking in the mirror after the Patricia/Judge debacle as co-OCs. The phins had just spent a year proving what a horrible idea co-OCs is then he went and did it for the same results.
Also tne phins had just spent the best part of a decade showing Bill just how badly dysfunctional OCs affect QBs. Sherman/Lazor/Gase for Tannehill then the bozos Flores hired with Tua, and surprise surprise both QBs performed much better when given actual good coaching.
OwesOwn614forum_veteranBelichick's hubris is off the charts. His QB tried to get advice from trusted sources outside the team and Bill is giving him a hard way to go. It's not like the offensive coaching staff put Jones in a position to succeed last year.

and he also cut Hoyer because he was critical of Patrica/Judge as co-OCs.
The Patriots released Hoyer in March despite owing him $ 1.4 million in guaranteed money for 2023. Curran reported on WEEI's "Jones & Mego" radio show last Friday that Hoyer was an outspoken critic of New England's 2022 plan to install Matt Patricia as the offensive play-caller, and that Hoyer's criticism may have played a role in his release.
"Brian Hoyer was not sold on what was going on last year, and I think he let that be known, that Mac (Jones) was up against it on a weekly basis. And I think that’s a large portion of why Hoyer’s not here," Curran said. "The Patriots would tell you otherwise, but they’re paying him $ 1.4 million to not be here and not be part of the system."

I doubt he’s admitted a mistake since the fifth grade.

He shouldnt be happy, Jones sucks. His backup Zappe is better.

Kinda sounds like the same treatment Tua received under Flores.

All these ex-Pats guys are the same.
Silverphinforum_veteranBelichick was never really good at drafting quarterbacks. He lucked into getting Tom Brady. And the only other QBs drafted by him that went on to have somewhat of a significant career is Matt Cassel, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Jacoby Brissett.
Following on from yesterday with the no.1 pick, there's a rumour picking up steam on Reddit that the Patriots are trading up to 2 for a deal that included Mac Jones along with this year and next year's first round picks.

Wow, that would be some exciting drama! Stroud will be off the board and hopefully they don't grab Richardson...we don't need another future Josh Allen in the AFC East.
