It won’t be wrong to say that the Patriots had a messy 2022 season. From the coach to the on-field performances, there were problems in almost everything. Therefore, the team has decided to take a fresh start. Unexpectedly, the fresh start will also be applied to the relationship between Mac Jones and Bill Belichick.
Recently, the quarterback talked about the approval of a fresh start with the Patriots’ GM Bill Belichick. However, the news didn’t sit well with a lot of fans who believe Mac Jones is not a good option for the team.
Mac Jones’ excitement for a new start with Bill Belichick gets harsh criticism
When Mac Jones was asked about his relationship with Bill Belichick, he shared that they are on good terms now. They both had some clashes in the last season but are taking a fresh start.
“I think the biggest thing that we’ve all talked about is just having a fresh start. I think there’s a lot of learning experiences from last year that we’ve talked about.”
The team is taking a very good initiative by forgetting the past clashes and focusing on the future of the team. They have forgotten the bitter moments they had and are now working together as one team.
“And this year, it’s all about just working together, right? You’ve gotta come up with a plan and then obviously talk about it and then execute it. So I’m excited for that part of it.”
But still, the QB received harsh criticism from the fans. People believe that Bailey Zappe was the better option than Mac Jones.
“Bailey Zappe is the better option. Not being an internet troll even.”
