Year 2 for Mac Jones hasn’t gone the way many had hoped.
The Patriots quarterback has thrown more than twice as many interceptions (seven) as touchdown passes (three), to go along with 993 passing yards, in addition to missing three games due to an ankle injury. When Jones first returned from that ankle injury, he got booed off the field by his own fans, who were chanting for his backup to replace him.
Those Patriots fans that booed Jones appear to not be the only ones to sour on him in Year 2. After Jones was widely regarded as the best quarterback in his draft class as a rookie in 2021, NFL Network analyst David Carr not only doesn’t view him in that light, but he also thinks Jones’s play is lower than his draft status.
