I love the fact that they put Gesicki with the receivers instead of with the OL/BlockingTE group. It's a sign that they intend to maximize what he does well, and to avoid asking him to do things he just can't do. This is one sign of great coaching.

Teammates are teammates. Even sports analysts should understand the philosophy of teamwork! Mac Jones is HIM

*People don’t understand how absolutely AWFUL Patricia was at calling the offense. 27th at 3rd down conversions and LAST PLACE in RedZone efficiency. Bill O’Brien is going to have an astronomical impact on this offense. He deserves his criticism for being a bad GM in the past…but there’s absolutely NO QUESTION that Bill is a genius on offense. Not to mention they have a Top 5 Defense on the other side of the ball; and a revamped special teams led by Joe Judge who also deserves criticism for his HC/GM work but is a specialist on S/T’s.*

SPEND THE MONEY!!! GET HOPKINS BILL!! KRAFT WILL GIVE YOU THE MONEY!!! DONT BE CHEAP!!!

All of you who say Mac is spoiled or a diva, I challenge you to be in the national spotlight against the best of the best and Moe and Curley are sending you plays that are just so bad they fundamentally won't work. Now how would you react? Personally, I'm not sure any competive person could passively just take it. I'm glad he was mad and I'm glad he has no excuses this year. Go Mac go!!!

From “Southern New England”
they should have brought Slade Bolden in. He recently signed with the Falcons. Roll Tide.

[ImNotOceanz]

I think people reacting negatively to the WR they had today are over reacting because in OTAs everyone is given a chance to show that they can ball

[martinalbert]

Outside of learning the playbook and practice What Mac needs to do is spend the summer getting Jacked up. Strengthen his arm, core and Legs. He has the mental attitude to get it done if he tries.

[seankennedy]

As long as he doesn't start sulking and whining on the sideline.

When things go bad like he did as a rookie and as a sophomore, he may be okay as a Mid to upper mid teir quarterback.

When things started going wrong on the playing field we saw Mac on the sidelines. His bratty QB face was absurd.

When Tom Brady was angry after a failed drive he was fiery and couldn't wait to get back in.

Mac jones, however, looked like he wanted to kick, cry and punch a pillow as he screamed.

Maturity and mental strength matter.

bill o'brien as oc is much better in 2023 especially with JUJU helping mac jones to be a super star.

[Austin-]

If Mac Jones has another bad year, will people still blame Patritia?

[imeleventeen]

How could not be mad when you have some unskilled OC calling dumb shit ruining your season after you have a top 3 all time rookie QB season

[susanboyes]

Literally different year different team Obrien is calling the plays not Patricia

[susanboyes]

No he's not the backup they brought Obrien here for mac and mac only get that through your thick skulls zappe will be lucky to make the team next man up Cunningham

[DWilliams-cenb]

Mac is a brat if you are Patricia or Judge. LOL

[hellorg]

I want a fired up Mac Jones who would get ij your face. Tom did it all the time

[reggiebishop]

You guys wanted the patriots to get young and now you want some older receiver.make up your mind

[bpraise]

Why did i click on this hate Mac Jones show?

[googleuser]

The kid is a backup at most nothing special about his game I saw way more competitiveness in Mallet than I seen in him

[KCocteau]

Mac jones? 😂
The Pats probably be better off starting Tiger Woods at QB. Rumor has it Tim Tebow wants to play again. Hell, that would be better than Mac Jones.😆
