Actually, it is that crazy.

Without a QB and we can’t give Cam the benefit of the doubt until he shows otherwise - improved but still not a playoff team IMO. That’s ok. I’m expecting playoffs and a team whose window is about to open in 2022.

Don't jinx this, man.

 

[Gumby]

Even if Cam starts the season as nr 1, there is no reason at this point to believe BB has him written in stone for the season.

if Stidham or a new high draft pick (or other FA) can be groomed/trained by game 9 and cam can go at a 9-7 pace with these tools; an 11 to 13 win season (of 17) doesn’t seem unreasonable. We do have a 3D place schedule too.

We’re not even the best team in the AFC East unless the Bills hilariously collapse which I would never rule out.

If Cam can play at a level of 13–15 top QB I believe they will be contenders. Roster suddenly looks stacked. They look very good on paper but obviously it needs to translate to the field.

we are not as good as Buffalo.

That doesn't mean that we're not playoff material. First, we need to get into the playoffs. At that point, a hot team can get to the AFC Championship Game.

We will add more players, surely a RB. Then we have the draft where we will add a QB and a couple of OL's.

he just needs to be 2018 cam. 24 TD's, 13interceptions, 67% passing percentage

I dont thinks Bill is done at QB though. I think all options are on the table. trade up and draft a guy is most likely. But deshaun watson is a possibility(albeight a longshot) and Jimmy G still could spring free

 

[BobDigital]

Pats right now are fighting for the 6th and 7th spot. They don't have a realistic chance.

KC, BUF and BAL are all clearly better. The questuon is are the Pats the 4th best team? Maybe. I don't see the team right now jumping up to claim that spot. Titans got worse imo. Colts should be but we have no idea how they'll look at QB. Dolphins are only okay and I don't know if they improved. ECT...

 

[sb1]

They have a chance if they make the playoffs.

With a better QB... maybe.

 

[PatsDeb]

Not until we have a real QB.

Some can't seem to understand

They have Stidham, his coach Palmer says he is ready to compete and knows this is his do or die season.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Stupid post - Dan Snyder tried to buy a championship for years with all flashy off season moves and the result was zilch..... You can't buy a championship by getting pieces here and there,they must gel as a team to get to where they want to go and sometimes it does not work out that way - we will see

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Not until we have a real QB.

Right now its a goofball and a pure garbage washed quarterback,the worst in the league and who needs desperately to retire before he gets more embarassing...we can pray he does retire,hes worthless trash

 

[NG Pats Fan]

With our current QB and WRs?

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

he just needs to be 2018 cam. 24 TD's, 13interceptions, 67% passing percentage

I would even take Jacoby Brissette over the Superman trash - Jacoby has more talent and something left in the tank IMO

 

[Billb57]

I would like to see Derek Carr. Had a very good season.

:Brisset signed with Miami. it won't be easy to acquire him for the Pats
