The beginning of the end of the Mac Jones era in New England appeared to begin Sunday in Frankfurt, Germany when he was benched for Bailey Zappe late in the…
I was appalled at Mac’s performance Sunday but in retrospect I think it’s an overreaction to say he won’t start. I think Zappe was put in the game just because that pick was so horrible and it even put Bill in a tilt. As bad as Mac has been, Zappe is worse. And if that were not the case I’m sure Zappe would have gotten more snaps by now because Mac has not played well.
Now, I think Mac is almost certainly not starting in 2024 and quite possibly not on the team. But as of right now, he’s the least bad QB on the roster, so, barring some late season “let’s see what he has” snaps for Grier or Cunningham once they have 9 losses and a guaranteed losing season, or of course injury, Mac will probably be starting.
