Mailbag time. Let’s dive into another batch of your New England Patriots questions.
@SteveManoz
Do you think Mac Jones was ever good, or has he always been just OK? 2021 a lot of the W’s came again bad teams with backup QB 2022 was supposed to be the Patricia/Judge are awful season. But is it looking different in retrospect?
Here’s where I am on Jones: I think he’s a quarterback you can win with if you surround him with the right pieces. The problem is the Patriots have not done so in either of the last two seasons, with the Matt Patricia/Joe Judge experiment torpedoing their 2022 campaign and injuries/roster-building blunders leaving them lean on receiver and O-line talent this year.
