Being the quarterback often means taking the blame for everything wrong with a football team, and Mac Jones has played his role valiantly for the New England Patriots.
Jones has accepted all of the criticism that has come his way regarding the Patriots’ 1-4 start to the season. Whether it’s warranted or not could be argued until the cows come home.
On one hand, Jones has continued to turn the ball over at an alarming rate, and he’s missing reads on the field. But on the other hand, the offensive line play has been so atrocious that Jones barely has time to catch his breath when dropping back to throw.
