For the delusional Patriots fans, who want this team to tank to get a quarterback in the draft. It isn’t going to happen so get it out of your head. If Bill Belichick were to draft a quarterback high in the first round of the draft he would still ruin him like he’s ruined Mac Jones. Belichick only cares about defense and drafting special teams. I’m sure if his kids coached the offensive side of the ball he would care more about offense but he’s got to make his kids look good so his main focus is on the defensive side. Sorry, but drafting a quarterback in hopes it would work won’t because the Patriots will mess it up.
The Patriots offense is a mess due to bad roster management

There isn’t a quarterback in the league that would do well in this offense. The pass catchers are bad, JuJu Smith Schuster has bad knees and is cashed. The rest try to be a go-to wide receiver but can’t. The offensive line is so bad that Belichick thought by getting Calvin Anderson and Riley Reiff they would be better. Bill Belichick half-assed the offense. They got Bill O’Brien which was a Kraft move then Belichick got rid of Jakobi Meyers (Jakobi Meyers article is coming later this week) for Smith-Schuster who can’t even get on the field. Then gets rid of Damien Harris for washed-up Ezekiel Elliott.
The reason Mac Jones isn’t probably going to be benched is because again there isn’t a quarterback that would do well. The dumb Patriots fans screaming and cheering at Gillette on Sunday when Zappe went in down 34-0 like it was Tom Brady coming in to save the day. Here’s a news flash nobody is going to replace what Brady did and hide Belichick’s mistakes on offense. Brady made everyone around him better and those days are over. If Mac Jones was even on the 49ers he would be undefeated and if Purdy was on the Patriots he would probably suck or be a backup.
Even Julian Edelman said on Colin Cowherd that Belichick needs help on the offensive side of the ball.
I don’t think Mac Jones can succeed with the Patriots being coached by Belichick. He needs a Mike McDaniel offensive-minded coach who will put the right pieces around him. I do think Jerod Mayo if he were the head coach would probably get an offensive-minded coach from the Sean McVay/Kyle Shanahan system to maybe work with Bill O’Brien if he’s still the offensive coordinator. They just need to get younger on that side of the ball, their system is old and the players they have are old. Bill O’Brien spoke today and said they are sticking with Mac at quarterback.
