There's no QB Competition in Foxborough. Cam is the starter.

"...it sure doesn’t seem like there is an open competition in Foxborough. Bill Belichick was adamant last week that Newton is the starter, and through the first two weeks of camp, Belichick has stuck to his word. Anyone watching practice can tell Newton is the clear, unequivocal starter.

... Newton starts every drill. Newton is the one getting the most work with the starting offensive line, and working with the starting receivers during special teams drills. Many of Jones’ reps are with the backups, and a few are with the rookies and scout team."

Much as I want to see Mac start I think Cam deserves to start. He was in a no win situation last year, this year he has no excuses. No Covid, a full off-season and training camp to learn the system, upgrade at weapons. Let’s give him a fair shot and see what he does.

No one deserves to start, they have to earn it. If Cam earns it he will
Start.

Let Cam start throwing to the other team... that will last all of five seconds.

Yes. I don't think Mac plays unless Cam is carted off the field or has 12 INTs before Halloween. Cam is the clear starter, he's getting all the first reps, and there is no QB competition despite what the drama rumor mill tries to stir up. The Pats are trying to teach Mac quickly but also know the kid is not ready to be a starting QB yet.

Normally when @DropKickFlutie post it's just a car crash. Starting a thread using a Volin article is 9/11 on repeat.

Boy Howdy, quoting Ben 'Not the Sharpest Tool in the Shed' is pretty dang convincing!

Magnitudes better than some trashy gossip threads being slung around about how some players supposedly feel about Cam.

But not better than thoughtful analysis by Volin's betters.

Imagine watching newton play qb last year and hoping they try that again.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Anyone who talks bad about Cam is flat out not watching the game and is taking part in “amateur hour”.

Look at the mental gymnastics of andy who out of one side of his mouth was just taking a dump on Tom Brady and how the team had to tank last year to reset the cap, yet showing a total lack of awareness for how last year had zero offensive weapons as a result. I have to say it's pretty unique to have someone be able to argue with 12 different people on a regular basis but also continue to be so hardheaded.

I love how I live rent free in your head. You follow me around and post emojis like a teenage girl. Funny how thin skinned you are. Maybe go back and make more bad draft prognostications that end up having zero impact or alignment on what the Pats actually do.

All you have to do is watch the man play QB and you know that anyone who doesn’t recognize he sucks is a clown. Perhaps I need to “argue” because people like you take a fact that the team was deteriorating around Brady and didn’t have the resources to fix it as “taking a dump on Brady”.

That is sarcasm right?

FYI, my op was a joke and was taken from another poster in another thread. It’s my favorite post of the off-season.

Yes. It was taken from another poster.

Not only were you just taking a dump on the goat , but within minutes of the Malcolm Butler Superbowl benching you were immediately and repeatedly insinuating the rumor that Butler had gotten high. Basically one of the most reflexive blind homers.
