Why Rob Gronkowski believes Patriots should start Mac Jones against Giants

As the Patriots are in the midst of a quarterback controversy, Rob Gronkowski has a clear answer on who should and who shouldn’t start.

In a segment on FanDuel TV’s “Up & Adams” show, the Patriots legend laid out two scenarios to consider when picking a starting quarterback, explaining why he thinks Mac Jones is the right guy for Sunday’s game against the Giants.

“This game being a winnable game, Mac Jones should start,” Gronkowski said. “You know what you’re going to get out of Mac Jones. If it was a game where they were playing a very, very good team and there was really no chance for the Patriots to win, I’d think you start Will Grier because he can possibly give you a spark, that little spark to get the offense going and give you a chance to win versus that good team.
