Boomer Esiason said that the constant pressure on Jones in the Patriots’ 23-21 win over the Dolphins on Sunday was frustrating the quarterback — and Jones’ handling of adversity s…
“And here’s the deal, you know, Tom Brady could be douchey too at times,” Esiason said. “And he can be yelling at his players and everything else. But Tom Brady then goes out and backs it up. He goes and plays his ass off and gets his team to the playoffs again .”
Some observers might be willing to give Jones a mulligan having gone from well-regarded offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to being coached by Matt Patricia, who has never previously run an offense. Esiason, though, doesn’t think Jones has earned that right. “So, all I’m saying is that, I don’t necessarily know that he’s earned the right to act the way that he does at times, like frustrated, looking at the coaches and screaming and yelling, putting his hands to his head,” said Esiason, who played 10 years in the NFL. “Body language for a quarterback is so important. And I hate when quarterbacks sulk on the sideline; they have to be above all of that. They have to have the backbone. They have to have the leadership bone.
The 8-8 Patriots will make the playoffs if they can defeat the Bills in Buffalo on Sunday, but a postseason berth is an uphill climb as the Bills are favored by seven-and-a-half points.
