Boomer Esiason Says Mac Jones Needs To Stop Acting Like A Douche
Add Boomer Esiason to the growing list of people that are not thrilled with Mac Jones antics.
Esiason was asked about Mac Jones on Monday morning, and he is a little off put with the way Mac acts on the field. Jones has had numerous outbursts on-field outbursts on the field in recent weeks that is drawing a lot of criticism.
“Here’s the thing,” Esiason began during his “The Greg Hill Show” WEEI interview. “Yesterday, I felt like in the first half, especially, that he was under constant pressure. He was getting hit a lot. And I felt like he got frustrated.”
Esiason didn’t hold anything back.
“Here’s the thing that I really dislike about Mac Jones if you want to get to the root of it,” he said. “His body language, his facial expressions, his gyrations on the field — piss me off. There’s a douchiness to them. I don’t know how else to explain it. … And here’s the deal, you know, Tom Brady could be douchey too at times. 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 yesterday.
“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. 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. They have to be able to look guys in the face and know what they’re doing. Don’t come off with your hands in the air.”
