Bill Belichick keeps starting quarterback a mystery ahead of Giants game

The starting quarterback for Week 12 remains a mystery, and Bill Belichick had no issues keeping it that way during his Tuesday press conference.

“I told all the players the same thing: be ready to go,” he said. “Hopefully, they will be.”

Throughout his nine minute press conference, Belichick used some form of “be ready/prepared to go” 12 times when fielding questions about the quarterback position. That now leaves four players - Mac Jones, Bailey Zappe, Will Grier, and Malik Cunningham - as the ones who need to be ready to go.

Speaking on Monday, offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien hinted that this week of practice will be key in deciding the starting quarterback.
