      Shit coaching? He has Bill Belichick and Bill O’Brien. He’s awful, you should watch him play sometimes. NFL fandom has gone insane with this belief that QB play is completely predicated on the context around them, it’s like it’s impossible to analyze performance.

        Coaching has been bad

        WRs still struggling at routes and techniques. Not running their routes to the sticks on 3rd down when they’re suppose to, not chipping properly off the line, etc. Special teams has been a mess for two years in a row. Offensive line has been horrendous and a flag factory. Defense has been shit at tackling and has contestant gaffes of communication in the secondary leading to big plays on busted coverage.

        Dude you should watch them play. Yeah Mac’s been bad. But so has the entire offense. Every single position group. It’s ALL bad

          It’s all bad, which is why they are the 9th worst offense of the decade at this point in the season. ALL bad includes the quarterback being awful. If Mac were a competent QB let down by his environment it wouldn’t look like this. That’s my point. The context around him sucks, he also sucks, that’s how you’re this bad.

    Maybe robbing him of an actual offensive coordinator in his second season wasn’t a good idea?

      Don’t forget weapons and an OL worth a shit. He’ll go somewhere and have at least Baker Mayfield/ Ryan Tannehill level success.

    For all of the apologists, go watch the tapes. I’ve seen more than one occasion live where Mac is just oblivious. I’ve watched Parker run across the middle with 3 steps on the DB and Mac wait to throw so late the DB caught up. I’ve seen deep passes to receivers that beat their man lobbed up so softly that the DB catches up. I’ve seen him lock on to one covered receiver while another is wide open, and then opt to turtle and wait for the outside pressure to come before it was ever a threat and when he could have even easily slid to the right in the pocket. I’ve seen him panic to ghost pressure and just throw absolutely terrible balls directly to the defense. I’ve seen him drop back and never try to slide up into the pocket and even go further back while the outside rush runs around the tackle. This kid is playing some of the worst QB I’ve ever seen. He is the anti-Brady, cannot overcome any adversity.

    Great article that has exactly one real example of bad decision making. Sounds more like the scapegoat planning for NE is getting underway.

    Remember all the handwriting of Mac vs Trey Lance? And then after last year everyone was sold on Fields and made jokes how everyone missed out on him?

    Lol

    Something about how he talks and holds his face, reminds me of the small group of older students, at least one of whom tucked their shirts directly into too-high tighty-whiteys.
