Fact.Is that a fact or speculation ?
Barring an injury to Cam, there is no way BB starts Mac before week 5. He will avoid the Brady versus Jones at all costs.
Why haven’t I known this until now ? I guess I’ll need to pay more attention to @doctahwhodat !Fact.
I am not so sure that Cam is gone next year. Bill will probably sign him to a an extension and start him again next year since apparently playing the better player is not what matter anymoreBill is stubborn as a mule. I don't know what he sees in Cam, but Cam will start. Makes no sense, throw Mac out there and let him learn from his mistakes. He's the future. Cam is gone after this year and this team will not be going to the SB no matter who starts, so Mac should be starting Game 1.
drops obviously play a key role in the actual completion %. Better indicator of accuracy..Stats like this are completely ridiculous when one is throwing mostly against Devin McCourty and JC Jackson, compared to routinely just beating SloJuan Williams and Bentley over and over. Also love it when media shows their hands, in terms of being biased for Mac, by obsessively counting (inflating, even) how many drops a WR had to then give an 'adjusted' completion score. Just stop it.

Agree with pretty much all of this. I'm not convinced that the knee brace is solely a precautionary measure for something nonexistent.Comments:
a.) I have soured a bit on Cam because he isn't vaccinated and that could affect our team down the road, but expect him to start week 1 for the following reasons:
- RPO plays in the playbook haven't been used all summer and should give us an extra edge with the new TE's/powerful OL.
- I am worried about Mac getting hurt. I think he needs to strengthen his legs more to develop a better base and not get hurt sliding (he limped a bit against the Eagles after sliding). And the worst thing that could happen is he gets hurt early in the season and misses significant time.
- Cam knows what it is like playing without a red non-contact jersey when a NFL starting defense is out to knock you into next week on every snap.
So, put me down for Cam, week 1.
b.) I expect Belichick to make his decision as late as September 5th because next week will all be about final cuts, signing PS players, and some light fundamental work before we shift to week 1 game planning mode.
