What are the potential comp pick effects of the signing?
FWIW-
Newton in SB 50 55.4 passer rating
Brady in AFCCG- 56 passer rating
Shows the kind of defense that they had. Hard to call either QB game a choke.
i don’t .... I think newton is here cuz Stidham needs another year and he signed because he knows he will be on the field with a chance for another contract
The logic is BB sees Stidham as a 4th round pick who is a back up. I mean that is abundantly clear right now.

a legit QB
If Newton plays, and plays well, then he's gone after a year.
Just hoping he comes in healthy. If he does, things are going to be fun to watch. Will be super interested how the running game reacts to his gameplay. I’m also interested to see how he works with the receivers. His scrambling ability should create a bunch of wide open looks. Something the Pats had trouble with last year. Should be interesting for sure. Anyone else getting excited for the unknown?
Look, Newton is 55th in career passing yards and has a meager post-season record at 3-4. He's not even a Hall of Fame-worthy quarterback. This is a huge opportunity to get back to the playoffs with a coach who is the GOAT. Newton has every reason to take care of his body and be the best QB he can be, which is very very good.
With this OL and backfield, I think the Patriots have already talked with him and his agent about how they see him as primarily a passer, and will rely on the running backs in the rushing game. The 17-game schedule plus all of Newton's injuries add up to taking care of his body to get through the season.
Say what you will about Newton, he can read defenses, has excellent touch at all levels, and is more of a Roethlisberger style QB at this stage of his career. Belichick has his eyes on the playoffs and will instill that in Newton.
hopefully Cam will be less douchey here..because he was very unlikeable in Car...
Brady sucks
