Does Mac Jones deserve all the blame or have the Patriots also set him up to fail?

New York Times  

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The clock was running, some 4 1/2 minutes remaining in the first half of Sunday’s New England Patriots–New York Giants meet-up at MetLife Stadium. GO DEEPER Patriots may be the NFL's worst team and Bill Belichick is out of answers You also know Jones was benched in the second half, with Bailey Zappe taking over. We can’t take a guided tour inside Jones’ head to determine how much pressure he’s been under this season, but we can all agree that Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s weeklong who’s-going-to-be-the-starting-quarterback drama was a needless and tired clown show that didn’t serve the best interests of the team. But it wasn’t unfair to ask Jones after the game whether the Patriots put him in the best position to succeed. So, I’ve got to do a better job creating that standard and making sure we communicate.” Patriots quarterback Mac Jones grabs a bad snap in the first quarter as Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux closes in.
