I’m fine with it if the Patriots chose to spend their resources on a massive upgrade on defense like in 2003.if he does, should belichick's seat get hot or is that crazy talk?
When your RB has to point out the MLB, you shouldn't be on an NFL roster. The dude is a joke, and BB is embarrassing himself every week he puts him out there.I'd take Cam as a trick QB, a guy you bring out when you want to make certain plays hecan do better than anyone else, sort of like the way the Saints use Taysom Hill. Dude can't throw but he's still got good smarts and decent wheels.
I'd also broach the topic of Cam plating RB or TE, both of which he probably has the talent to play if he's willing to learn, and which would eliminate the problem of his bum throwing arm.
If Cant is willing to return on a one-year, zero-guaranteed, vet-minimum contract to compete with Stid, Dolegala, another vet & a draftee, then yeah why not? Otherwise fuhgeddaboudit.You can bring back Cam , draft your next guy and have most of your cap left to restock the shed.
One option does not nullify the other. Is that the route they go? Don't know. You have to put some weight into what Belichick is saying and doing. He's sticking with Cam when there is little value left in doing so.............take that however you want it.
No I disagree. Mahomes is good but not six games better good in this offense. No #1 WR. No TEs? He needs those to work his "magic".
Unfortunately it doesn't exactly work like that. The team would be very bad in the pass game regardless. The reason we have been competetive is because we went with our natural strength, which is the run. We have a QB who passes less than any QB who began the year as a starter and is still one of the most productive rushing QB's in the league.The skills position players would probably look a lot better with a QB who could actually throw them the ball.
And the thing is the Patriots have been largely competitive despite terrible QB play.
I mean they were competitive with the best team in the league for 3 quarters with Brian Hoyer at QB
Add "and also compete with Jules and with Meyers," two former college quarterbacks who might just throw the ball better than Cam. Heck, the last three seasons when he passes Edelman is 6 for 6 and a 21 yard per catch average, with qb ratings of 118, 158, and 118.If Cant is willing to return on a one-year, zero-guaranteed, vet-minimum contract to compete with Stid, Dolegala, another vet & a draftee, then yeah why not? Otherwise fuhgeddaboudit.
He has more capital, but a lot more holes to fill as well. The 2006 team needed receivers, even Thomas was a luxury item considering they had a good defense. This team needs receivers, tight ends, linebackers, DTs, DEs and, most importantly, a quarterback. Different ballgame.Belechick ended the 2006 season extremely pizzed off. 2007 saw an infusion of offensive talent...Moss, Welker, Stallworth...signed A.T. from the Ravens. He's in the same boat this offseason with arguably much more capital. I think Newton is dead as disco. Wish I could crystal ball BB's draft but that's always folly. Free agency is where I think we can really get a good grasp of what he'll do. Relax, it'll all unfold in time.
Riight.
A temporary aberration.Cam is our QB....
You are very optimisticPatriots are 6-8 with Cam Newton
With an average QB they easily flip
Denver
Bills
Dolphins 2nd time
That gets you to 9-5
Honestly given that the Rams only managed 17 points on offense, and 7 of those required multiple 4th down conversions I think thats a flip too.
Texans also probably flip, and certainly are going to Mahomes
That gets you to 11-3
Given how close we played KC with Hoyer. I think switching out Hoyer for the best QB in the league gets you the win.
That gets you 12-2 and the #1 seed.

Bill, the GM, is a different story.Trust me when I say that BB the coach, is the least of our problems.
At this point it might be the only contract he gets offered which makes it more of a no brainier, imo. As awful as he's looked over the season you just can't dismiss how bad his supporting is as well.If Cant is willing to return on a one-year, zero-guaranteed, vet-minimum contract to compete with Stid, Dolegala, another vet & a draftee, then yeah why not?
