Bill Belichick Suggests This Patriots QB Won’t Start Vs. Giants

Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe have been the Patriots’ top two quarterbacks in all but one game this season. But with Jones struggling and Zappe looking no better, could New England reshuffle the deck and start third-stringer Will Grier this Sunday against the New York Giants?

That seems unlikely, based on recent comments from head coach Bill Belichick.

Belichick was asked about Grier during the latest episode of the team-produced “Patriots All-Access.” He praised the 28-year-old’s work behind the scenes but said Grier mostly has been limited to scout-team duty and hasn’t had many opportunities to practice New England’s offense.
