If Bill didn't have a history of picking players from colleges his friends coach at and ignoring his scouts advice then i might agree with you. This is 100% a Belichick pick and it's not even just Fields, Jones is just mediocrity who played on rosters with stacked offensive talent

By that logic, every QB from a top team in a power 5 conference isn't worth taking because they are all loaded with talent.

I watched almost every pass Jones threw last year. Belichick and McDaniels wanted him for the same reason everyone one thought Kyle Shanahan wanted him. He'll do exactly what you want him to do within the offense. He's not going to make many plays that make you go "Wow!" He'll be a solid starter, but anything more than that will be a surprise.

The crazy thing to me is we've seen Belichick talk about how difficult the athletic QBs are to defend, and in the end, he sticks with his standard QB profile in Jones.

" if you look closely, you'll notice that Mac Jones has the same amount of letters in his first and last name as Tom Brady. This was by design, as his parents, organic tomato farmers who work the fields year round, have been grooming him for this since day one "

Im not concerned that he’s not mobile. Nice to have for me.
Looks like he has an arm. More important to me.

Now does he have a brain? Thats the thing I’ll need to see with my own eyes. Because to me thats whats most important.

Ive seen a lot of great scramblers. Ive seen a lot of cannon arms. But if theyre meatheads it doesnt matter.

He definitely has a brain, at least a football one. Biggest question is who's the first Patriots reporter who asks him about his DUI in college. Ben 'Trollin' Volin is the favorite at -1000.
