We’re 2/3 done with the regular season, which gives every player enough time to show their true colors this season, whether they are much better or much worse than in previous seasons. This begs the question:
Which players are having breakout seasons this year? On the other side of the coin, which players are having breakdown seasons?
(no rookies)
Before this season I was adamant that the jury is still out on Mac Jones and anyone who declaratively said he sucks was just a hater, because this team hadn’t really put all their trust into him yet and tried to avoid putting the game in his hands too much the first two seasons. I’d thought that his peak might not be a guy who goes above and beyond to win you games, but he would take care of the football and never be the main reason your team loses games.
The jury is in. This guy absolutely sucks, and there are like 6+ games this year that he’s probably the #1 reason his team lost. A league-average QB would probably have won at least 4 of those games and the Patriots would be in the hunt for the division.
