Mac Jones might have slammed the door shut on his run with the New England Patriots after delivering one of the ugliest quarterback performances in the Bill Belichick era.
And that isn’t even close to being an overreaction.
There was the failed softball pitch pass attempt to running back Rhamondre Stevenson and the sad, underthrown pass to Mike Gesicki that should have been a touchdown and won the game for the Patriots.
Whenever the pocket collapsed around Jones, he looked completely petrified and helpless. It all culminated in the third-year quarterback getting chewed out by Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien on the sidelines, before he was benched for Bailey Zappe for the final drive of the game.
This week, Ryan O’Leary and I delve into the future at quarterback for the Patriots after losing to the Colts. Is it time to move on from Jones in favor of Zappe, Will Grier or Malik Cunningham?

Is it time for the Patriots to bench Jones, or should they continue rolling with what they have the rest of the way?
