‘I’ve Learned The Hard Way In A Way’: Mac Jones Gets 100% Real on His Past QB Issue

Posted on July 9, 2025

As Mac Jones embarks on a new chapter with the San Francisco 49ers, he reflects on his past challenges as a quarterback. After a rocky tenure with the New England Patriots and a brief stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jones acknowledges the need to improve his fundamentals to regain his confidence. His commitment to addressing these issues is crucial as he aims to revitalize his NFL career.

During the offseason, Jones engaged in an intensive training regimen focused on refining his technique. Under the guidance of head coach Kyle Shanahan and his staff, he reviewed game film and worked specifically on footwork and decision-making. This hands-on approach aims to help him enhance his performance and adapt to Shanahan’s offensive system.

Jones’s journey has been marked by ups and downs, and he admits that his experiences have shaped his understanding of the game. He recognizes that his previous struggles stemmed from a lack of decisiveness and commitment during critical moments. This insight has fueled his determination to approach the game with renewed focus and clarity.

Despite being labeled a former first-round bust, Jones remains optimistic about his potential in San Francisco. He draws inspiration from the success of other quarterbacks who have transitioned successfully within the league. Observing Brock Purdy’s rise has given him hope that he too can turn his career around, especially in a supportive environment.

Just recently, Jones spoke about an issue he dealth with in the past as a quarterback. This can be seen in an article by Nick Wagoner for ESPN.

 

“My goal is to really just have great attempts like, you know, is the ball supposed to go there?” Jones said. “And if it is, then let it fly and be committed to it. Sometimes when you watch my film, it wasn’t a full commitment throw and I want to get better at that. … That’s the whole point of football is to try those throws, learn from them, and then when you get to the game you can say, ‘Hey, I can do this,’ or ‘I’m going to check this one down, you know, I’m trying to protect the ball.’ So, I’ve learned the hard way in a way.”

As training camp approaches, Jones’s performance will be closely scrutinized. The competition for the backup quarterback role behind Purdy adds pressure, but it also provides an opportunity for growth. Jones knows that seizing this moment is vital for his future in the league.

Jones’s commitment to improving his game reflects his resilience and desire to succeed. As he navigates this pivotal offseason with the 49ers, his focus on learning from past mistakes could be the key to unlocking his potential. With the right mindset and determination, Jones may well find the path to a successful NFL career once more.
