If and when Cam Newton is named starter and captain, you will......

[venecol]

Am I wrong in thinking that the longer it takes for Bill to announce the starter the more likely it will be Mac Jones?

Yes

I hope the Bucs slaughter us and it’s an overwhelming home game for Tom.

If Cam is the starter, expect that to be the case for both.

I want Mac starting but I will trust bb. He spent a lot of money this offseason, he’s not playing around with this year. I would hope he’s on a short leash though

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Meh. I would prefer they would start Mac, but what do I know.

I'll just hope we win enough games to make the playoffs and that Cam's leech is short.

Basically. I want Mac, but I trust BB if he put his dog out at QB

Cam will be the starter and get a real LEGIT opportunity with an actual team of NFL players at his disposal, pansy ass Pat's fans will continue to cry (music to my ears), and there is not a single thing any of you can do about it. Well except continuing to cry of course!

And man when it's half way through the season and Cam has the Patriots in contention for the division I better not see any of you bandwagon trash cans trying to climb aboard. You don't get to have fun this season. Sit on the sidelines with your little boy Mac while the grown ass men handle business. Dont let me stop yall from crying though, carry on Lmao! Life is good!

I would assume you and Cam are related?

Second sentence is key. Belichick is GOING for it this year. This is not a rebuild year. He spent a ton of cash in the off-season. This is not some 3-year plan back to ring#7. For this reason, I don't think he's going to ride a rookie QB all the way to a Superbowl win. He's going to see if he can win with Cam. Cam does not have a lot of rope. If it's not working out the first 6 weeks then he's going to do what's best for the team. But Option 1,2,3 is first make it work with Cam Newton. There's also zero chance he's going to allow a Brady vs Mac storyline in week4 when they play the Bucs.

lol yeah theres way too much emotion/anger in that post for him not to be immediate family or maybe a cousin at the least

I would hope that he is related to Cam. Otherwise he kind of reminds me of Robert Deniro in The Fan.

I mean, taking the emotion out of it he makes a lot of valid points. I absolutely expect certain mediots and maybe half the fanbase here, to be secretly rooting for the Pats to fail even when they're 3-1 after the first month. It will be weird. Might even have fans openly chanting for the new QB in the stadium during games, and constant toxicity and crap rumor articles from media pundits especially if Cam plays the entire season. All of this will happen.

Mac Jones needs to start but won’t start. Some actually defend newton here but the guy’s accuracy still sucks. I think he will be replace down the line. Newton is not the future of this franchise but mac daddy. Let him grow already.

 

[tasmlab]

Cam throws the ball funny and can't arc it at all. Why doesn't he get a throwing coach during all these offseasons? Brady used to have one even after he accrued more rings than any other player.

With newton this team is going nowhere. The bills will be tough again. Frankly i prefer the rookie. Let him get his feet wet. He’s ready.
