Yup, that’s pretty much the reason to get Newton - you think the Baltimore offense is the way to go and you think Newton is still good at actual QBing (and better than Jackson). Keeping Thuney and adding him to a healthy Mason and Wynn (and hopefully Andrews) is a step in that direction. Still have garbage for TE right now though.
And this is the issue. I’m leaning more towards your opinion. And let’s just say Newton’s performance in the clutch even when he was at his best leaves something to be desired....
