“He connects with all the players really well. Kendrick Bourne explained why during the early camps. As Miller pointed out, they believe in him. The best thing Jones has going for him in that regard, is the confidence of the players. In that way, it falls back on Jones to deliver and not only make the most out of his weapons, but elevate the unit if the Patriots have any hopes of contending.īut can he? Is Jones good enough to make everyone around him better, regardless of the coaching hand he’s been dealt? That’s the biggest question surrounding the 2022 season. While he doesn’t have much in the way of game-changers, or top-end talent around him, there’s enough there for him to not only survive, but thrive. “But I think they’re doing it because they know he’s capable of doing it. Hey, it’s a lot to put on a second-year QB,” said Miller. They see how hard he works, and he performs. Sirius XM NFL analyst Jim Miller, a former Patriots quarterback, backed that line of thinking when speaking with the Herald recently. And given how much the Patriots head coach pumped up Jones during his video conference Tuesday, saying his second-year quarterback had already displayed “dramatic” improvement, Belichick appears to believe in him and his capabilities, too. He might be so advanced mentally, that he can make up for less than ideal handlers.Īt least, that’s one theory for the peculiar way Belichick is handling the most important player on the field.
Jones just might be good enough to overcome both Patricia and Judge’s shortcomings when it comes to running an offense. Instead, Jones will have to try to take it to the next level primarily guided by Bill Belichick and his faithful lieutenants Matt Patricia and Joe Judge, who have little to no experience calling offensive plays, much less grooming a quarterback.īut even with all the obstacles placed in his path, that won’t necessarily bury Jones, and prevent him from making the proverbial Year 2 leap. There is no offensive coordinator listed on the Patriots coaching staff. Offensive coordinator, quarterback coach and play-calling guru Josh McDaniels is now in Las Vegas as the Raiders head coach. While he had a promising rookie season, the coach who helped him get off on the right foot is no longer in New England.
