Patriots quarterback Mac Jones had a disastrous showing on Sunday out in Dallas, and the clock may now be ticking on his future unless he starts playing at the level people expect him to.

The fact of the matter is Tom Brady set the standard of what the quarterback position should be, and Bill Belichick is treating the third-year quarterback accordingly.
However, it’s not for the reasons you might think.
