Welcome to The Patriots Newton!

I like the signing in that, if healthy, Cam can be a good fit for the Pat's current group of offensive weapons and it'll at least be interesting to see what he has left and what percentage he is of his MVP days.

I don't like it in that this throws a little bit of water on my Belichick knows that Stidham will be better than Mahomes is now, and better than Brady ever was fantasy...oh well I still have pornhub.

1 year deal indicates they simply think that Newton > Hoyer.

guy in sec 212, row 10, seat 3 (random seat) > Hoyer

Yuk

There's going to be a lot of Auburn fans following the Pats

Wonder what Hoyer is thinking right now after he was promised a chance to compete for the job.

Hoyer needs to retire - his best days have long past and even back then he was a JAG

Good competition for Stid. If he's healthy this is a great signing. Also, it's good to see the Patriots are all in on the BLM movement with this signing. Hopefully it's a prelude to bringing Kaep on board.

I'm pretty happy but understand some not being happy. Question: Is Cam enough to make this a 10 win squad? With our defense and coaching taken into consideration

If he’s healthy and if they didn’t get rid of Thuney to make room on the cap for Cam then I think the offense definitely has potential. The thought of having a dual threat QB is pretty sweet. They can lose the tough games against the Chiefs, Ravens etc and still get to 10 wins.

But for real, if you don’t love this signing you’re a racist.

Moron alert

So is he starting or is brought in for competition?

Excited to see what McD and Belichick can do to make him better...

Yes

Pretty good upside to this. If he's bad we can cut him.

If he's good, he gives us a usable QB and buys Stidham another year. And at the end of the year we can extend him or let him go and likely get a comp pick (this is in the good year scenario).

I hope Belichick sits down with Cam and tells him that if he gets into the end zone don't do that ******ed Superman crap - never liked the showboat routine then and won't like it now

Camp fodder

If Cam is willing to be a backup assuming he doesn't win the job I love this move.

Was anyone really comfortable entering the season thinking Hoyer was the only other option?

That's what many said about Cam, yet here we are.

At worst Cam is camp competition for the starting job. They can't feel too confident in Stidham if they brought in Newton.
