Woody was preaching. Coaching is not about finding the right QB for your system, coaching is developing your system to the players you have. This is why so many QBs are thrown away.

Greeny at the age where he nicely telling MFs off😂😂😂

Patriots fan here been watching 30 + years . They for sure ruined Jones

“Trey Lance has the best record !!!”😂😂

“if i get a injured O Lineman imma call Dan O how much he protects the QBs!!!” - Stephan A

1000% Agree! Coaching is about developing players and building a system that makes the best of their skills. Tim Tebow won playoff games... and Cam Newton won an MVP. That shows you... QBs like Fields can win with the right system.

His regression is the result of many factors. Some are his own fault, but most lie on his coaching and the organization. It's just insane how widely disrespected he is. Over the last 2 seasons, I've seen about 8 games where Mac played good enough to win, but because of some VERY tough breaks and bad luck, they were lost, but people would only blame him because it was the easy thing to do. I wish him the best of luck, and the Pats are playing the Jags this season, so that will be fun. Edit: My point of Mac being disrespected is being proven tenfold in the replies, I guess I'm right.

Media: "Belichick is one of the greatest coaches ever!" Also Media:"The patriots(Lead by Belichick) RUINED Mac jones!!

We what? We gave him everything! We gave him receivers that were could compete with Waldo when it came to being found. We gave him a swiss-cheese OL. We gave him a special teams QB coach and DC offensive coordinator. What more could the kid want?

The 2020 draft should be the standard for qbs on how to develop

He didn't lie.... I mean they did!! I always thought Mac could play was just in a bad situation! 💯

Trey Lance has the best record 🤣🤣🤣 at 2-2

Jones should’ve never been drafted so high.. he was good in college but if u watched his games u knew it would be hard for him to translate to the nfl

I mean the league gets tough from a business standpoint. I personally would’ve kept Mac as a backup at worst if they were to move off him and bring in Maye or Daniels at that 3rd overall spot. Then again Mac didn’t help his case with his performances either. Granted it’s coaching but you still gotta play the position and perform.

Damian Woody raises a great point about coaches not adapting.

4 days later and it looks like Fields isn't even getting picked up for a cheeseburger 😅

Why didn’t they also compare passing yards for Lamar and Fields? 🤣

Perfect time to remind everyone that Dan O was 3-23 as an NFL starter & the main QB of a 0-16 Lions team and a 1-15 Colts team. How he is on ESPN spewing nonsense when he hasn't had a hot take in his 5 years on the network is truly baffling.....

NFL GMs are crazy bro lol

Thru Nov 19 last year, Zach Wilson (as a backup QB) was 4-6, Jordan Love was 4-6, and Mac Jones was 2-8. Zach got benched and only played one complete game (Jets vs Texans:30-6) thereafter. Jordan got the Packers into the playoffs, and the team has successfully moved on from Aaron Rodgers. The Packers know how to develop QB's. The Jets and Patriots...not so much.

Anyone trying to fill Tom Brady’s shoes and the expectations the org had after he’d set the bar was going to be ruined or fold.

If NFL coaches actually believed in developing and molding talent at the QB position, they wouldn’t be looking to draft a “Franchise Guy” every few years after drafting the “Franchise Guy”.

I really like the location of the Get up studio location please renew the studio deal.

That’s what I figured he was worth after BB tore him apart with the situation in ‘22 & ‘23. Best of luck Mac.

I like how the narrative with Mac is he was ruined by the organization but Justin fields has been in an terrible situation since he was drafted and we never hear that the bears ruined him it’s always “fields sucks”

What about Bryce Young? His team sucks seems like he is in the same situation as Mack

Just like bears ruined fields

Preach Woody!!

Belichick screwed over the Patriots GM wise!!!

JJ almost tore that man Achilles 🤣

That's why I hope the Patriots DON'T draft a QB 3rd overall.... He won't have anyone to throw to. Draft MHJ or Joe Alt and BUILD a team!! So frustrating as a fan!!!!

Greene is so right!

Agreed, that's part of why Belichick didn't get a coaching offer this year.

Haven’t watched the video yet but Dan giving another sorry quarterback a pass I’m guessing.

Woody was preaching at the end 🙌🏽

When a coach who's not supplying any tutorial roleplayers/coaches pitches a fit about his starters having to go outside the facilities in order to find mentors... that says more about the coach than it does the player - That told me everything I needed to know about Bellichick, he DESTROYED Mac Jones' developmental years in the league. I hope Jones can recover and becomes a viable QB, if only to shove it in BB's face

Did Trevor overcome Meyer or did he suck and get better with a better roster and Super Bowl winning coach

Why is it never Mac Jones fault? Did other QBs who had good careers ever have a rift with coaches and subpar recievers? Of course, many have. They just quietly put up decent or even good numbers until they got into a better situation. A good QB would have at least showed signs that he could go out there and sling it. Almost everytime Mac threw a deep ball to an open reciever he missed the throw. One of Belichicks main priorities for his QBs was to just not lose the game by throwing stupid interceptions. Unfortunatly stupid interceptions were Macs specialty.

5 QBs were drafted in the 1st Round of the 2021 NFL Draft all top 15 picks and the 1st Overall pick will be the only one still on his team

I'm envisioning GM's everywhere begging owners not to take a QB until the team is close to set. The owners saying, "we need a qb now".

A lot of QBs get ruined in this league. That's why I wont criticize any QB that leverages his way to a team that wont.

Jacoby Brissett and Jayden Daniels

NHL goalie vs nfl qb which is the most important position in sports?

They ruined his career and on top of that trade him to a team where he won't compete for the starting job much less see playing time 😡

Drafting a QB is a crapshoot is only partially correct Drafting a pure pocket passer QB with no running ability is crapshoot. The only way running QB's have failed is if 1. They got injured (RG3, Anthony Richardson (for now)) 2. The had the opportunity to draft a arguably a better prospect (Fields) Cam, Lamar Jackson, Hurts, Kyler Murray all stayed with their teams for a second contract. Only pure pocket passers blow up in you face (Zack Wilson, Mac Jones, Trubisky)

Completely ruined him. He didn't stand a chance. Should have been drafted by the 49ers and would have had it easy. How lucky is Purdy? Good pick up by the Jags, wish Mac all the best, he deserves it

Im not a fan of Daniels or maye .. i think new England should trade down and draft penix . Sign a veteran like kirk cousins if you can

@3:18 Thats Why I Say Take Harrison At 3.

Pat's didn't ruin Mac. They just stifled him. Mac will be fine in the right scheme.

As a person who has experience with other sports, quarterback is not the hardest nor the most important position in all of sports. A QB plays no part in other sports.

Yes they did. They gave him no weapons, a half behind defensive coordinator and especially trams coach to coach your offense. They ruined that man.

This is why Tannenbaum is not a GM anymore. How can you look at the patriots roster and not say it's bereft of talent? QBs are incredibly dependent on the team and the system they get drafted into. They need talent around them, a good o-line, good WRs/TEs and a good running game. Why do you think players that go later in the first round usually fare better? They go to better teams. And now I feel ill, they made me defend a patriot's qb.

WHEN did Minchew become a good vet!??

As a lifelong NEP fan, after TB12's departure the Pats offense has been a dumpster 🔥 The blame for the decline of Mac Jones lies squarely on the shoulders of the Patriots. I totally agree that poor coaching, poor surrounding talent and poor development is the recipe for utter failure. I hope that Mac can rebuild his career and become a starter once again after his time with the Jags.

“As is the case of some idiot fans and media members, they can’t let a player be traded until they get in personal cheap shots. Mac Jones joins a long list of outgoing former Boston pro sports players who fans and media alike feel it’s OK to take venomous personal shots at. Only in Boston do we feel the need to do that, circumstances be damned, such as an aging head coach who set him up to fail by promoting two clueless people as offensive coaches. And the lack of talent set Jones and the Patriots up to fail. Good luck Mac Jones, New England does not deserve to have a good person like you representing the team.” Paul J. Baranofsky Waltham. Boston Herald - 3/12/2024

I'm way late to this party, but thank you Dan Orlovsky! You're dead on about Mac Jones! At the very least, he was ruined by mishandling, and at most, potentially ruined purposely by a vindictive HC. IMO, Belichick is a hypocrite. Belichick expects EVERYONE ELSE to be accountable and team driven so, WHY ISN'T HE??!! I put the blame squarely on COACHING for the decline of Mac. Let's not forget Mac's success the first season: Made Playoffs @ 10-7 and pro-bowl alternate: That doesn't happen by accident in the NFL! Next season he loses a great OC, replaced by a couple meathead yes men, with NO Offensive credibility!... Couple that with head scratching uncomplimentary offensive schemes and gameplans. Add the HC undermining Mac's confidence by benching him after ONE interception in a game! W*F!! What other coach would bench the starter after ONE interception early in a game??!! Answer: NONE!! 3rd year under "sink or swim" duress with another questionable meathead OC, more inexplicable schemes/gameplans, and an uncommunicative dis-engaged HC!! Recipe for failure ONLY! Was Mac Jones at all responsible for his decline? The answer is: MINIMALLY! Yes, he is high strung and impatient. Yes, he lost the team by calling out teammates for perceived failures. Yes he was guilty of being a young immature player who was understandably frustrated in dealing with an UNTENABLE situation!! I wish the best of success to Mac and my personal apology. I am embarrassed by what my team did to him. He should have had a 4th Pats year with a legit chance to thrive… It's pretty clear now that Belichick is a brilliant Narcissist. He's the best defensive mind the game has ever seen, but he has NO respect for offense and offensive players, and NO respect for the Owner that employs him. He has repeatedly undermined what was best for the team while claiming otherwise. Sitting Malcolm Butler in SB 52 threw ALL Players under the Bus! How was that best for the TEAM! It's the HC duty to CREATE an atmosphere of success for the chosen QB! Ruining the starting QB consciously or unconsciously because he wasn't "your guy" is Textbook NARCISSISM! Belichick may have cut his football teeth under Navy Athletics, and he may THINK he runs a team modeled on the military way, but he FORGOT that EVERY serviceman swears an oath and is accountable to a higher authority. The Admiral or General, may not agree with or even respect The President, but it's their duty to their country to follow his orders and to NEVER undermine the MEN under their command. Belichick should never again be trusted with the HC position. He's borderline megalomaniacal, and a cancer in any position of authority. I would hire him as a DC with very minimal authority only. IMO, players were willing to endure the "Belichick Way" because TB12 ensured a legitimate SB shot year after year. Yes the defenses were equally important to the repeated success, but The GOAT was the GLUE that held it all together. When the glue dissolved, it unsurprisingly fell apart.

I think Mac going to SF would have been the easiest college to nfl transition. He would have a solid coach, loaded roster and a proven system that fits majority of the QBs Shannahan puts in it.

Mac can probs compete with TLaw for the job in Jacksonville. They both were pretty bad last year

No way Mac is as trash as he’s been post rookie season. Unfortunately tho he doesn’t appear to be on pace to really prove it.

As A Falcons fan I agree patriots really did Mac no favors

The best option for fields would be to sit behind lamar jackson and learn from him. And he would be a viable option better than the guy they got from the patriots if something like an injury happens to lamar in the regular season. But the bears would have to take a lot of that contract and a low pick if they want fields off of their hands.

Dan needs to relax with the QB coddling. It is tough but you can say that about any position in sports. Lack of support equals losing in any team sport. You make do with what you have. That is how you build a career. Sometimes you get lucky and have it all work out, If not you move on and look for the right situation. Great ones find a way wherever they are planted and with whoever.

Nearly 50% of quarterbacks drafted in the first round over the last 15 years have been total busts. Zach Wilson drafted #2 overall. Trey Lance drafted #3 overall. Daniel Jones drafted #6 overall Dwayne Haskins drafted #15 overall. Baker Mayfield drafted #1 overall. Sam Darnold drafted #3 overall. Josh Rosen drafted #10 overall. Mitchell Trubisky drafted #2 overall. Carson Wentz drafted #2 overall. Jamei Winston drafted #1 overall. Marcus Mariota drafted #2 overall. Blake Bortels drafted #3 overall. EJ Manuel drafted #16 overall. Robert Griffin 3rd drafted #2 overall. Ryan Tannehill drafted 8 overall. Sam Bradford drafted #1 overall. Mark Sanchez drafted #6 overall.

Jones might have succeeded if all the stars had aligned. But it's tough to strictly blame the Patriots for his demise when 5th round pick Bailey Zappe (who has less talent than Mac) managed to (however slightly) outperform him. Zappe's accuracy is awful, but he had better success pushing the football and was obviously less afraid of getting hit.

And The Tight End The Pats Drafted Last Year Will Be Healthy. He's Supposed To be Good.

Greeny should of asked tenabaum about drafting Mark Sanchez 😅

I hope we get Jayden Daniels and get a better offense this year and that’s it without bill

I could see Wilson going to the Pats to support the 3rd pick QB, but he seems to be headed to the Steelers.

Why not bring Fields to Baltimore? He's skillfully made for what Lamar has proven works for the Ravens offensively. Plus the change of pace when you have to rest your starting quarterback is a young man who can make plays with his feet and possibly learn how to make plays with his arm like Lamar has grown into.

Im continually fascinated by how when Justin Fields doesnt play well ITS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSES FAULT. If he does bad at his next location will we still be blaming the team or will there at some point be a day when Sports Personalities finally say "You know what? Maybe Justin was a bust."

“3peat is on.” 💯💯☝️☝️ Greenie speaking like us fans. Well done, sir.

Jeudy trade makes me think Denver might actually know what they're doing now.

Bro how is Flacco not back with Cleveland? Get him signed now watchu doing?

The Patriots sure did RUIN Mac Jones for sure! They set him up with a Swiss cheese offensive line, receivers that couldn’t separate from defenders to save their skin and also a nonexistent running game that barely showed up! For sure I feel Mac Jones needs a situation to get his confidence back up again hopefully in the future but he isn’t as bad as people say he is for sure.

Maybe some of these NFLowners should hire these guys as consultants. These guys are so right and the rich owners blindly let their GM’s ruin their teams with just blatant and cocky bad decisions.

But after his rookie year the media was praising him..instead of a wait and see everybody just wants to be first

Everyone is sleeping on Nathan Rourke

PATS SHOULD SIGN ONE OF THOSE VET QBS AND DRAFT MH JR, BEAST!!!!!

Fields absolutely worth a second round pick. If it wasn’t for his impending 5th year option, you could even make an argument for a first rounder given that’s he shown he can play qb

The media is funny they will admit the pats ruined jones but don’t bring up bad coaching when it’s true for feilds

6th round pick nah I would of kept him as a back up . Should’ve got at least 3rd or 4th rd pick. He made the pro bowl Rc season. If he has a line and the right coaches he can play. Very stupid move

I swear it feels like ESPN thinks every QB is great and it's the teams fault why they suck.

They need to trade back to 5 . 3rd pick for Justin Herbert, a 2, 3, and a 5th in this draft.

Mike Tannebaum, be showing me why he is a FORMER GM

What did the Bears do to Justin Fields? The Bears did far worse by him. But, no analyst is saying that. Why??? NO team wanted Justin and none of them are questioned for passing up on him, but now he should be starter in Pittsburg, because he is a top talent in the NFL. We know biases is used for clicks, but its being taking to far by those that know football. Stay honest and more people will get it and as a society we will be better. But for now there is an audience that knows better, could you just cater to them/us a little more.

Now Chris canty wants to praise fields after bashing him like a week ago

Wait wait for JF and Lamar’s numbers to be that similar is crazy to me. Maybe says 2 things justin is better then what we have seen and maybe Lamar success this season was a team thing( fyi i wanted him to win mvp just a observation)

Mac is going to end up being a profitable investment for jags. A 6th will turn into a 3rd pick for them in future

Fields to Patriots, draft Harrison and they're on their way. Excellent QB coaching available.

Belichick’s arrogance thinking he could replace McDaniels with a defensive coordinator and another bozo failed head coach in Judge destroyed any chance Mac had making it as a starter.

Most Over hyped QB draft class ain't looking too good 😂

Shoulda grabbed Marvin Harrison and gave Jones what made him great in Alabama. Instead we wasted two years and gave him no weapons and then ditch him. SLOW CLAP KRAFT

BB specifically ruined Mac Jones. I appreciate everything BB has done for the Pats & imo the greatest HC of all time but thank god he’s gone because it was time to move on. He’s completely ruined this team from top to bottom. Now since Mac Jones has been traded we need to completely start over by drafting a new QB.

Dan was a below average QB so whenever he sees another below average player he roots for them.

Really? I didn’t notice.

Bill Belichick ruined Mac Jones by making a DC his OC and ST coach his QB coach. Bill Belichick then doubled down by giving him the Worst OL in NFL and no Weapons.

From what I hear mac dug his own grave esp being mouthy even had a big mouth in Alabama with Saban. Mac was a fluke in college and his rookie NFL year

Let’s not play dumb, Pats taking a QB at 3. Whether it’s Maye or Daniels

He had three offensive coordinators in 3 years.

As the Patriots fan, it's not the Patriots' ruined Mac Jones, Bill Belichick ruined him.
