Bill Belichick didn’t exactly give a ringing endorsement of Mac Jones and his standing as New England’s franchise quarterback back in January.
“Mac has the ability to play quarterback in this league,” Belichick said during his end-of-season press conference on January 9. “And we have to all work together to try to find the best way as a football team — which, obviously, quarterback’s an important position — to be more productive than we were this year. And so, that’s incumbent on all of this. We’ll all work together on that. And, again, look for better results.
