The Patriots have made mistakes with Mack Jones along the way, and one of his teammates has an opinion on where New England went wrong. It happened almost immediately.Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones appeared on Radio Row’s “Zolak & Bertrand” at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, offering an inside look at how the team should develop its young signal-callers.
“I was always a quarterbacks fan (as a kid),” Jonathan Jones said in a video from 98.5 The Sports Hub. “It’s an important position to sit still and develop the game. “When you look at Green Bay, they’ve been consistent and you think, ‘They don’t have a quarterback problem.’ You can take a guy of that caliber, let him sit for years, and when his turn comes, he makes all the mistakes he made at the range and nobody can blame him.
No one saw the stupid mistakes he made during training.The Packers are perhaps a perfect example, as Jordan Love looks to continue to dominate the QB game after Brett Favre sits behind Aaron Rodgers.
That’s exactly the direction Jonathan Jones thinks the Patriots took to get consistency with Mack Jones. “If you throw them to the wolves, the media will do what they’re supposed to do.
This is a performance appraisal. “Once you get someone out when they’re young and the world starts to appreciate their work, it’s hard for that person to maintain that stability.
“It’s too late to protect Mac Jones now, but the Patriots may have an opportunity to follow Jonathan Jones’ advice this season. They have the no. 3 and tons of lid space. Can we go to two QBs?
