The players all like and respect him, say what a great job Cam did as he's leaving to be someones backup, then draft a QB high in the draft.
Meyers gets separation.
Not sure on Byrd.
Biggest plus and biggest knock on Harry coming out: will win contested passes, but won't get separation. they got what they paid for. if they overpaid, that's on them. And I still think Harry succeeds in another system.
Did McDaniels mention how many times guys are wide open, and because Newton's poor mechanics and disciplines as a crap passer and run based crap QB like he always was, have gotten that "separation" and he missed them, wide open, because of his poor skills?LOL that he mentioned separation as also being an issue. Some of the more adamant posters in here saying that it wasn’t are not going to be happy to hear that.
Is he? He made two...count 'em two catches last game.Harry is coming along and improving and Meyers is legit.
Sony helped us win a championship two years ago... the other players have you already given up on after 1 year and in Harry's case 2 years? Just curious.

Brady was drafted before you started pre school. let’s reflect on belichicks draft success since 2015. 5 years. As we enter 2021. We are talking about the present & future of the team. Not the past championships. If Thuney is our best draft pick in the past 6 years, our team is in deep troubleI love you Captain, but you have to also give credit where credit is due...how about D. Harris 3rd round, Thuney 3rd round, Mason 4th round, Wino 3rd round, JC Jackson f/a, Matthew Slater 5th round and who could forget the best pick of all time: Tom fricken Brady in the 6th round...
Don't forget Bailey. Kid has a dynamite leg.Brady was drafted before you started pre school. let’s reflect on belichicks draft success since 2015. 5 years. As we enter 2021.

Because 3 yds is larger than Scams dispersion ratio.Robinson got 2.2/2.3yds last and this year while Byrd and N'Keal this year have 2.9 or higher (3.3 for Meyers).
Thanks for posting the whole quote! Interesting to see Bill praise Byrd right off the bat, I actually think Byrd can be a pretty decent #3 WR if the two ahead of him are decent. Edelman when healthy can be that #2 guy still, but the #1 doesn't exist so it all kinda falls apart. Jakobi flashes (and has flashed more as the season goes on) but is still raw and needs more experience. He might be #3 quality next year. Harry, at this point, is a bit of a one-trick pony in an offense that doesn't often use that trick. Unclear if he will improve, but he looked slightly better last week and Bill said the same, so we'll see. The fact that there is basically ZERO production from the TEs compounds this issue quite a bit. A #1-quality WR and at least an average TE would really change everything, but you still have to wonder about whether Cam will just bottleneck that potential. IMO he's still not healthy from his injuries last year and new injuries have made it worse. I'm cool with seeing how he does next year, but not for more than $10m, and only if better options aren't readily available or accessible...BB full version: “Our passing game still’s not as efficient as we need it to be with really everything that’s involved. The protection, route distribution which involves everybody - tight ends, backs, and receivers, timing and ability to execute and create separation in man to man coverage. So we continue to work on all those things but Damiere’s had a solid year for us right from the beginning, and N’Keal’s started to come on here in the last few weeks, and Jakobi’s had a pretty productive year as well primarily inside but he’s also played outside in some of our 2 receivers sets, and has been productive there, and has shown the ability to block and has been involved in some inside blocking plays and crack plays that have helped us in the running game.”
Unless we pay top dollar, I don't know how we attract someone like an Allen Robinson (who's already making $14mil per and will probably require more) with such a gigantic question mark at QB - that'd be a waste. Hopefully Edelman stays if he's actually healthy.
Sidenote: To show how messed up and deceiving the official separation stats are, Robinson got 2.2/2.3yds last and this year while Byrd and N'Keal this year have 2.9 or higher (3.3 for Meyers).
Lol, I actually was in middle school Nick...close enough though. Ha...still the best draft pick ever my friend and you know it.Brady was drafted before you started pre school. let’s reflect on belichicks draft success since 2015. 5 years. As we enter 2021. We are talking about the present & future of the team. Not the past championships. If Thuney is our best draft pick in the past 6 years, our team is in deep trouble
With Newton, that ain’t half badIs he? He made two...count 'em two catches last game.
On what basis do you believe Harry and Myers are a # 2and 3 receiver?Wow. Some fans can't even accept a rebuild done properly, even though we have 2 dynasties as evidence in 20 years.
The team needs some infusion at 3-4 DE, MLB and WR/TE. Other than that, the last drafts have them in really nice shape for the youth movement he's been doing now for the last 2-3 drafts. They have a top OL, RBs, some nice looking players on defense, another possible undrafted gem in Myles Bryant, and with time, all these younger players getting experience now, will benefit.
Harry/Meyers are a 2 and 3 WR, Gunner maybe can be groomed to be an Amendola, and so forth. With the cap tumbling in the spring, numerous FAs will be squeezed and BB has money to fill in the gaps strategically, possibly at TE and even WR. They do need a #1 and maybe they do that in the mid part of Rd 1 this year, to build around someone like a Stidham.
But, some of you must watch different games. I see young players making plays every week.
This impatience and immaturity with entitlement happened back in 2009/2010, too, where fans didn't want to see a proper rebuilding happen here. I am glad we have the greatest GM in cap era history, because when that cap drops next year, a lot of teams will get worse, while this team's youth base is already being built.
I have to believe BB knows he's not there yet with the building, so he's not looking to get Stidham hurt or have him develop any bad habits during a pandemic and without a proper offseason, which I get, but Newton is so awful, it makes one wonder why you wouldn't give Stidham the chance to move forward for next year.
Very strange to see Belichick and Josh publicly gush over a horrible QB like this, one who represents the complete anthesis of what BB looks for in a QB. It doesn't quite make sense other than they couldn't see Stidham's offseason work and the progress in time and just put all the time into Newton, except McDaniels is trying to put a square peg into a round hole. It's why Tebow got invited to camp in 2013 when McDaniels came back. He wanted a toy. Well, no thanks. Those toys don't work, as we see with Lamar Jackson already regressing.
Why there isn't Pony packages more so with more Newton designed runs, like earlier in the year, is beyond me. And, the play-calling has been atrocious. What happened to that play-action play to Jakob Johnson vs the Raiders?
