Dud: Mac Jones, QB

At this point in time, I think it's obvious that Jones just really needs a change of scenery. That will obviously have to wait until after the 2023 season, but things are not working out for him in New England and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.

Jones completed 24 of his 44 pass attempts against Washington, which is pretty inexcusable considering he was usually operating in a clean pocket. He missed a ton of open throws, and some of the ones he did make were simply dropped by his unreliable receivers.

That includes his game-ending interception, which bounced off the hands of JuJu Smith-Schuster. That one obviously wasn't Jones' fault, but a lot of his other bad throws were.
