So how did Mac Jones beat out Cam Newton? A former Patriots mainstay claims that Mac Jones showed a much greater mastery of the offense.

Linebacker Rob Ninkovich recently claimed that the rookie knew the offense so well that he was helping Newton learn the playbook.Jones was having fewer “mental errors,” per Ninkovich, along with a better understanding of the offense. Ninkovich also pointed out that Newton did not run the no-huddle offense or two-minute drill during the preseason.

Fewer than two weeks ago, however, Newton was the starter — according to coach Bill Belichick. Jones took charge after Newton missed five days due to a COVID “misunderstanding.” Maybe Jones would have supplanted Newton sooner or later. Newton’s absence surely helped it happen sooner.

Do you have a reason you are prone to virtue signaling about race frequently Bruce

Be candid

We won’t bite

You have to be willfully blind not to recognize black quarterbacks today run the ball like quarterbacks never have

They also jump higher

It is most definitely a black white thing

There are scores of google entries emphasizing how much more athletic black quarterbacks are and that they don’t lose except because racism holds them back

Not because they may not have performed as well

Don’t worry

The NFL will accommodate them and feed their poor victim hood

You are right though

Mahommes and Wilson are exceptional despite this awful racist world

Does mahommes blame his mom

I wonder

I picked mahommes as special his first year in Lubbock
