I’m trying to understand this because I keep seeing this seemingly contradictory narrative reposted by people I suspect are just coping with having been wrong about Mac Jones, who also lavish Belichick with immense praise for his present and future as a Head Coach in the NFL (even as a Patriot Head Coach in the NFL).
I find it difficult to believe, and understand, that both of these things can be true. Aside from the fact I think Mac Jones sucks, does suck, has always sucked, and will always suck, if I was wrong and he had some ceiling as an average, middle of the road, hopelessly mediocre quarterback, was Belichick not even able to bring even *that* out of him? It seems holding the “Belichick is still great” and the “Mac Jones was broken” opinions simultaneously doesn’t make any sense.
It matters because “we’re” apparently deciding whether or not we should keep Belichick going into the future. Yet, if he wasn’t even able to bring Mac Jones’ mediocrity out of him, and instead broke him to worst-quarterback-in-the-league status, that’s very obviously a huge red-flag.
Help me understand, fam. Which one is it?
Can Belichick not get the mediocre potential out of a potentially mediocre quarterback or is he still Darth Belichick, great coach with great winning potential wherever he goes where some talent is available to him?
