It's been brought to my attention that people would like to know where I stand on Patriots quarterback Mac Jones's future as the starter in New England.
For the record, I'm not making any final proclamations until the end of this season on Mac. There's a world where Jones turns it on in the final eight games and the narrative on him shifts. If the Patriots get hot and the arrow points upward by the season's end, we have to adjust our thinking. Even if that scenario feels very far-fetched at this moment, it's far from unprecedented. I'm also not going to attack Mac by screaming that he stinks from the top of the lighthouse to appease people.
