Belichick "Cam Newton is our quarterback"

[RIpats88]

Makes sense. I doubt Bill wants to throw Mac Jones to the wolves his rookie year. He generally isn't that type of coach.

Now, alot depends on how Cam Newton looks in training camp and OTAs. If he's more 2018 cam newton than he's no doubt the QB. But if he's the guy we saw last year I think Mac Jones is starting

Nothing has changed.

Newton is still the best QB on the team.

Jones needs to see meaningful snaps as a rookie. Not like we’re fielding and awful team out there

 

[ausbacker]

If Mac Jones outperforms Newton in the preseason and shows he can command the Offense, Belichick has shown he has no problem making what he deems moves in the best interest of the team and as such, Jones will be the starter. That said, I believe BB will give Cam every opportunity to grasp the starter role.

The new flavor of the month is in town.

Stidham is looking at Hoyers old job of sharping pencils for BB and walking his dog.

We have to move on. I wanted Fields or Lance but the Patriots chose differently. They picked Jones so he is our QB of the future. Nothing good comes from dwelling in the past

are u like, mad or something we picked up jones? why do you seem less than thrilled?

 

[PaulThePat]

Bill probably said Drew was his QB before the 2000 season. What else would you expect him to say?

 

[Afam..]

Cam is the starter for this year, then Mac is the starter the following year. Cam is on a quick leash this season.

Agreed.. Mac Jones is a first round pick BUT he needs to earn that job. Cam Newton is our QB and Mac Jones needs to realize nothing is given.

I love Mac Jones already, however.

 

[Marko]

The Bears and 49ers said Dalton and Jimmy are their qbs, this is posturing.

 

[Flash]

Belichick isn't the type to play favorites. If Mac Jones somehow beats out Cam in training camp, he will be QB1.

 

[Redman443]

Just call cam Drew Bledsoe

 

[Steve102]

Bill 100% respects Cam and his veteran leadership and work ethic. Cam is also no dummy and knows why Jones was selected. Bill isn't going to disrespect Cam to the media and say Jones is the guy. Jones has to earn it, just like everyone else.

[Le Numéro Douze]

As of today, Cam is our starter.

Mac will have to earn the starter job by beating Cam. Nothing will be handed to him.

That's how it should be. I did not expect BB to say anything else.

If Mac beats Cam, he'll start. If at some point in the season BB feels Mac gives us the best chance to win, he'll start.

That's how it should always be.

Hopefully not for long...
