The MMQB’s Albert Breer says Mac Jones’ relationship with the Patriots “got a little sideways” over the last couple of months due to the team’s changes on offense.
"I think that bled over into the injury now and I think this has sort of given the coaches an opportunity to send a message to Mac. I don't think Mac was ever in jeopardy of losing his job, but I don't think that they told Mac that either. I don't think they said to Mac, 'Listen, you're good, don't worry about howZappe hasn't lit up the box score since replacing Jones, but the rookie has done his part to give his team a chance to win.
The expectation is Jones will resume his role as the starting QB when healthy, but head coach Bill Belichick wouldn't commit to that during his recent press conference.Breer believes Belichick and the Patriots are using this as an opportunity to send a message to their 2021 first-rounder. "This is a chance for them to sort of send the message to Mac that you have to do things better," Breer added."Like, if you trust the offense, look what the offense is doing for this fourth-round pick out of Western Kentucky. We saw early in the year he freelanced some, he took shots downfield, we saw the turnover issue. I think part of the message here is, watch what Bailey Zappe is doing. He's doing what we're telling him to, and watch how the offense works for him.
Zappe took over for Jones again in Sunday's Week 6 game vs. the Cleveland Browns. It will be worth monitoring the Patriots QB situation leading into the team's Monday Night Football matchup against the Chicago Bears.
