Mac is back and no one should be surprised that he is starting today

November 26, 2023

Apparently benching Mac Jones during a two minute situation in Germany did not spell the end of his Patriots career. According to the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan, Jones is expected to start today against the Giants in New York. NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry reported on Friday that Jones and Zappe split starter reps this past week but no one in the building knew who was going to start today….

The highly anticipated Will Grier debut some Patriots fans were hoping for is not going to happen. Grier was released today to open up a roster spot ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Giants. If the Patriots do make a quarterback change moving forward, it is going to be Bailey Zappe who takes over for the beleaguered Mac Jones. Grier’s release comes as a surprise but it really shouldn’t.

Starting quarterback Mac Jones days as a starter could be numbered if he continues to play the way he has the past two weeks. If he has another bad game this week, he could end up on the bench. Jones has been benched twice the past two weeks in favor of Bailey Zappe but the next time he does get benched, it could be permanent and it could be for…
