Bill does not treat Mac like he is a potential franchise qb.
very odd. Jones is too pouty. An affluenza case. That said, I blame Patricia doubly for his problems. He doesn't throw that bad of a ball when he's upright. The occasional behind, overthrow, underthrow, but not that awful. The problem for much of the season was very poor offensive line play, where Patricia is the primary coach. Especially the offensive tackles and, for stretches, C when Andrews was out or really hurting. Because the O line did not give him time, they compensated with the absurd short yardage and screen over-reliance and keeping the TEs in. When they got the O line together more (McDErmott in at rigth tackle helped), he started using Henry, Thornton, Bourne, and Meyers more on longer patterns, and Jones was fine. Also, using Marcus Jones on offense gave defenses something to worry about. But MP doghoused Bourne most of the year (top 2021 wideout), threw to Jonnu Smith more than Henry (a favorite of Jones as a rookie), and failed to find a way to exploit Thornton's speed. Mac Jones's big problem with the offense is that he's an ass , not his skills.
