The article didn’t say a decision has been made for sure just “all indications” say he will be starting. He was at practice today.

If so...Monday Night Massacre

For the first time I am seriously concerned Belichick has lost it.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Pointless.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

The only reason I can think of for letting Cam play at all—let alone start—is his playtime incentives. Cam needs about one half of play to get to 80% for the season. If he's benched for the remaining two games, he won't reach it. Because he's not under contract for next year, there is no easy way for the Patriots to pay him that incentive if he doesn't earn it himself. [There's no way he can reach the 90% incentive.]

Not shocking but like someone mentioned pointless. I rather see stidham just to see if he has anything.

Fire Belichick!!!!!!

(jk, but...) fire belichick!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PittPatriot]

Mind blown.
No reason we shouldn’t play waste of draft pick Stidham.

Why would they want to pay him more money. He should be paying the team for the way he sucks out there.

It doesn’t matter if he is better. We cannot make the playoffs. Newton’s ass will be booted out of here as soon as the season is over. It’s an opportunity to find out what stidham, who is under contract for 2 more years, can do. I cannot fathom a reason to pass up the chance to evaluate a player who will be here in order to play a player who won’t.

 

[Kontradiction]

Stid is immobile and the Patriots offense is simply not built around the receivers and TEs. The former is the second worst in the league. The latter is the worst. This may be as simple as the coaching staff looking at the offense’s limited strengths - an excellent run blocking OL and solid stable of backs (if Harris is healthy) - and going with the guy who has the best chance of moving the chains within the constraints of the offense.

 

[Newton England]

Everyone here is in complete denial that Cam is the future here.

When Cam wins MVP in NE next year, just remember, you were all wrong.

Opportunity for who to find out? Fans? Patriots don’t owe us a showcase of Stidham.
