Concerns Arise Over Mac Jones' Potential Struggle with 'Yips' as New England Patriots Cautiously Assess Situation (Video Included)
The performance of Mac Jones has raised new alarms within the New England Patriots' camp this season.
The downturn in Jones' performance has become more pronounced in 2023, contributing to the team's disappointing 2-8 record. The situation has intensified scrutiny on head coach Bill Belichick, with speculation mounting about his future with the team. Despite leniency towards Jones last season due to the team's challenging offensive dynamics, his regression this season is notable. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer has suggested that the Patriots are concerned Jones may be experiencing the yips, a baffling condition that disrupts an athlete's cognitive and physical abilities.
"For a quarterback who was touted for his intelligence and efficiency, the reality has been quite different, marked by frequent mistakes and lapses in judgment," Breer commented on FS1's The Herd. "Confidence in Mac Jones is wavering among the team's leadership."
The upcoming bye week offers a respite for Jones and the Patriots, presenting an opportunity for the quarterback to recalibrate and address the issues affecting his game.
