The kid definitely cares about getting better and about winning. But I worry if he's focusing too much on strength. His game is about fast processing and making the best decision out of 4-5 reads every single snap.
He already worked with Tom House last year, that should have already upped his arm significantly. Being a workout warrior is not going to help Mac. He needs to be a film rat.
It's hard to know what he should focus on since 2022 was such a mess in changing schemes and benching his top2 WR most of the season. I have a hope that Mac will be much better simply because Bill O'Brien is the OC and it will fix a lot of things across QB, playbook, scheme, play-calling, halftime adjustments, and also which players to play more.
That's fair, but unnecessary. Not much of what DKF made sense. Jones wants to work on strength so according to DKF Jones is concentrating too much. Not sure how that leap was made. Ditto that Jones should be not building strength, but studying reading defenses, as though NFL players can only work on one thing during the off season.To be fair, when his HC (when asked why a hail mary wasn't attempted) publicly says he can't throw a football 55 yards, I'm sure that doesn't sit very well with him.

The players, all knew within the first few days of training camp, that a disaster was about to happen. So many folks bitched, and moaned about Mac Jones during the season, and his seemingly low level of maturity, but we didn’t hear it coming from inside the building. The players knew, what they were dealing with, and specifically what Matt Jones was dealing with, and the ridiculousness of it all. He was their leader, and they backed him.LT Trent Brown to @TMZ_Sports
On Mac Jones: "I love him."
On those who don't believe in Jones: "They don't really matter. Really nobody outside of that building matters."
Then he sent a message to fans. "Stick with us. I don't believe we'll be down too long."
Been hearing similar comments. Kyle is real good at devising plays, not so good on the blocking aspects.Either that or a broken bone like all his other QBs.
Perry: The numbers-based case for Mac Jones having a bright future
Is there hope for Mac Jones getting back on track in Bill O’Brien’s Patriots offense this season? Our Phil Perry spoke to NFL Media analytics expert Cynthia Frelund, who shared some encouraging numbers that suggest Jones is primed for a turnaround.www.nbcsports.com
"What does all this have to do with Jones, you ask?
Based on what the analytics community seems to value at the quarterback position -- work from a clean pocket -- there should be hope in New England for the starting quarterback headed into his third season. Jones was the NFL's fifth-highest graded passer in 2022 when kept clean, per PFF, trailing only Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts and Trevor Lawrence.
To Frelund's point about the importance of being able to throw deep effectively from a clean pocket, Jones ended up having an impressive year. He had a higher percentage of big-time throws -- which PFF defines as a pass with "excellent ball location and timing, generally thrown farther down the field and/or into a tighter window" -- than any of the other quarterbacks in the top five mentioned above."
Exactly....And that is with his WRs and TEs running into each other!
