Mac Jones

It's easy to laugh when your team is in the lead. Kyler Murray left the game after suffering a non-contact injury and the Arizona Cards turned the ball over on their first two possessions.

When the game gets to that point, no one cares if the starting quarterback is waiving off the offensive coordinators. The game is well in hand and Matt and Mac will have a light-hearted moment on the sideline.

Jones has become a different person. He was the best quarterback in his class and even got to play in the Pro Bowl. If he crossed a picket line, he would make the team for a second-consecutive season.

Some of his struggles could have been avoided if the Pats had not wasted cap space on non-Nos. There is one wide receiver option. No quarterback would think of throwing it up if they knew that Jakobi was down there.

A good offensive coaching staff would have been even better for a young quarterback. There was no need for New England to name a new offensive coach. Their quarterbacks coach? Joe Judge was the head coach of the Giants. Judge rose through the ranks as a special teams coach. The skills needed to nurture a young quarterback are not learned in that role.

Who makes the plays for the team? The pencil in hat is currently held by defensive specialist,Patricia. As great as Bill Belichick is as a head coach, his decision to throw darts at a wall for an offensive coaching staff is why his players have been upset with the play- calling.

If Tom Brady were still his quarterback, the No. 15 pick in the draft would be taken by the team. He needs to be taken care of if the goal is to develop a long-term starter. Jones has been presented with a lack of clarity.

New England's coach might be the greatest defensive mind of all time. The defense lost a lot of talent in the free agency period. The main reason the Pats are still in the playoffs is because of it. Rhamondre Stevenson hasn't scored a rushing touchdown in five weeks, but he has been productive. He injured himself and didn't finish the game.

The injury to Kyler Murray put the Cards in a tough spot last night, but they have their own issues. The injury made it more likely that the Pats would pull out a win and improve their record to.500.

Don't pat the Pats too hard on the back even though that was the last result. Their quarterback failed in his second season. A victory over a team that turned the ball over on consecutive possessions doesn't make a difference in the playoffs.
