And then as soon as he struggled it was all about how Robert Kraft forced Bill to pick Mac.

If this criticism was on Kraft’s radar, wouldn’t he have pushed back hard? Did Kraft ever say, “No, I didn’t draft Mac Jones. I pay the football people to make those decisions”?

Are the ties required in this scenario?
If so, highly doubtful we see a bunch of tie games to break the Patriots this season

Is there an NFL rule, a deadline, when starting players on offense and defense have to be publicly known?
Or is the first time an opposing team (and fans) know who’s starting is when teams take the field? (obviously a question about how long can Belichick keep the Patriots’ starting QB secret)

Saved your TL;DR list. Will be fun updating after the games are done

Mac’s had 3 offensive coordinators in 3 years (year 2 they may have had the official title but not the ability).
How does anyone expect a rookie QB to succeed in this league with the ground shifting under his feet every year?

You mean “The Brady Years”.
It was an era each one of us will take to our future

Maybe if Saban was coaching the Patriots we’d see the Mac Jones you saw in Alabama.
I feel bad for Mac. The pro’s are really tough and we’re still hanging on to the experience and memory of #12.

Hope Jones has a better chance either here or on another team.
