When Mac Jones attempted to tackle this week, it appeared vile to many watching.This has been a very tough season for the former Alabama quarterback and the Patriots are likely to miss the playoffs in his sophomore season. Jones played well in his rookie season and drew comparisons with Tom Brady, but he has regressed a lot this campaign.The Patriots need to help Mac JonesMac Jones: Cincinnati Bengals v New England PatriotsAlthough Jones hasn't played his best this season, the Patriots have also put him in a very tough position. The team doesn't have any star players on the offensive end, and without a top-quality receiver, you can't expect a young quarterback to do much.Moreover, the Patriots have failed to replace Josh McDaniels. Joe Judge and Matt Patricia haven't been the best fit for the New England offense led by Jones.Henry McKenna@McKennAnalysisMac Jones and Matt Patricia have a little moment after that 8-point series from the Patriots.423Mac Jones and Matt Patricia have a little moment after that 8-point series from the Patriots. https://t.co/zNbDGcSNkLThis season, Jones has a passer rating of 84.6. He has thrown for 2,550 yards, nine touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 12 games.
