What did Jim McMahon say?
They should be able to get a lot for Cam. He's a former league MVP and is very popular with the players.
In a trade?
Jake Bequette lent some to him
I didn't expect much from Hoyer, but if he was fooled that badly then maybe the coaches share some of the blame.
Forgive them for they know not what they do.
I have no hope or faith in Cam any more than I do Hoyer. I hope neither one of them starts a game for the Pats this year.
We do a better job of that here.
The term "happy feet" was a negative that was commonly used in the old days, but then Manning came along with feet so happy that the mediots stopped using the term. Glad to see that you're bringing it back. I just wish it wasn't a Pats QB doing it.
Visit the dentist, get a checkup, refine and shape up your wardrobe, and familiarize yourself with contemporary chick dope and current affairs, be familiar with the good restaurants.
we need someone to screw up the 2 min offense
Gotta say, this stuff totally changes the dynamics of keeping 4 QBs. Both Stid and Jones can be stashed on the PS with no fear of losing them. Cam can be starter and Hoyer can be the guy to get you through a game should Cam go down. If Cam goes down then you can decide to spend the entire next week prep'ing one of the young guys and use Hoyer as his backup. Or if Cam stinks he can be cut at will with three other viable candidates to step in.Pats were always bringing another QB this offseason. In another Covid preseason 4 is the minimum.
...
Last year Pats had 4 QBs - 3 on 53 and 1 on PS. All teams will cary at least 4 QBs again this year on their combined 53+PS rosters - with COVID protocol likely to remain. In addition: Pats carried 4 QBs on 53 when they drafted Tom.
That wont be necessary now since by current rules they can place anyone on PS and they can protect up to 4 players from being signed by other teams (so in theory they could even put Cam on PS). Here are the PS rules:

The NFL expanded practice squads and introduced new rules due to the pandemic.theramswire.usatoday.com
btw - These extraordinary PS rules could be one of the reasons why Pats went for vet min vets rather than bringing in UDFAs since they can safely stash some solid vets on PS and use weekly promotions to 53 if needed.
Having Hoyer on the team (rather than coaching staff) has therefore many benefits and zero downside. That is why this move was actually expected (from Pats perspective if Hoyer agreed). He can be used in both depth/extra hand player role and mentor/coaching assistant at the same time. It also gives Pats leverage regarding roster spots and trades. If they want to keep just 2QBs on 53 Hoyer is much better proposition for PS than Stidham who still believes he has some future in the league and still has some trade value esp. in another Covid yr. Hoyer is also better option for 3rd QB on the 53 if they should want to use him in in-game assistant/mentor role.
This move of course says absolutely nothing about who is starting week 1 (except that its probably not Stidham)
Interestingly he has started 39 games for 7 different teams and was named the Browns starter at the beginning of 2013 and started the first 13 games, so I'd say he was more than a career backup, although he did not earn a long term starter's job. It does help explain his career earnings.
BPA, baby!
So, you think that we should cut Jones, and sign him to the Practice Squad for $10K a week?Gotta say, this stuff totally changes the dynamics of keeping 4 QBs.

Kinda has some trippy stuff, like him starting games for ARI and IND.

I don't know, do the special covid era rules mean players need to take a pay cut to be on the practice squad? Otherwise it doesn't make much sense to have those special rules.
