Mac Jones of the new england patriots may not have much value on the trade market this offseason, but steve young, a hall of famer who appeared on 98.5 the sports hub’s “felger and mazz” program, said he still believes the 2021 first-round draft pick will have a chance to shine in the NFL.
“Despite the fact that a lot of people in boston are probably done with Mac,” young said, according to masslive’s lauren campbell. “i think mac will be successful if he can get the right help, the creativity, and the protection,” he says. “i really believe in mac, and i do.”
After jones was given a pro bowl call as a rookie, current las vegas raiders wide receiver and former patriot Jakobi Meyers said earlier this week that he wished new england had put jones “in a better position to win.”
Specifically, many observers have chastised former patriots head coach bill belichick for allowing jones to play under assistant coaches matt patricia and joe judge during the 2022 campaign. Jones seems to haven’t recovered from all that went wrong two seasons ago.young, on the other hand, is familiar with being called a signal-caller who can’t win at the highest level.
During the 1985-86 seasons, he posted a 3-16 record with the tampa bay buccaneers, before the club moved on from a man who would become a san francisco 49ers legend. Young said, “i’m not against it that mac might be in a situation where he can’t put it back together.” “there’s something about how he handled the season.” I remember playing a monday night game that year, and i caught him for a second and said, ‘i’m so sorry.’ Because i’ve been where you are, and i’m so sorry as a quarterback who was in Tampa Bay and went 2-14. “i hope that you will find a place where this happens.” Jones is rumored to have a “clean slate” with new patriots head coach Jerod Mayo, but chris mason of masslive reported in a mailbag published on friday that “the best thing for both sides would probably be a trade,” assuming new england will use the no. 88.
Jones’ replacement defender will be acquired with the 3rd overall pick in this year’s draft, with the 3rd pick being selected by the draft.
