Exactly.Just to be clear on this:
You think Cam Newton willingly signed with the Patriots before free agency, without the understanding that he'd be the team's starter next year?
I pretty much assumed he'd be the starter. Drafting a QB to "learn" whatever he has to actually offer someone at this point.Sadly I think it is.
Newton signed WITHOUT TESTING FREE AGENCY after saying he expects to be a starter many times publicly.
Maybe Belichick is a liar, but whatever discussions they had led Newton to believe he is coming back as a starter. Otherwise he would have spoken to at least one more team.
I presume Belichick told him they will not sign any other veteran QBs and they will not draft a qb in round 1.
Now, for an adult opinion:
Nor could he throw a TD pass in nine 2020 games as well.That’s what it comes down to for me. He couldn’t throw the ball 55 yards last season.
No it’s a Belichick decision making thread.
mare you saying you like the idea of newton being the patriot QBs this year?
I liked the Brown trade and the Bethel signing. Let's see what the draft and free agency holds. I would be super, super excited if they brought Thuney back, probably not happening, but that's a different conversation for a different day.Overall it's been bad. You said it yourself several times "there's no talent". Who's fault is that? Bill's.
Cam is back to start.
He has never been a backup QB in his career.
I didn’t think there was actually a plan in 2020. Just kind of seemed like the team and FO was flying by the seat of their pants. They basically tanked the season without actually tanking.Exactly.
Cam is # 1. Stidham is still here too. They will draft some 3rd string bum QB who will be coaching high school ball in a few years.
The 2021 plan is the 2020 plan.
So... not a top 5 QB?Virtually every QB who is drafted number one overall has never been a back up until they are. Bledsoe was a back up in Dallas. Vick was a back up in NY. Alex Smith was in Washington. At some point in his career, a QB has to choose whether he wants to compete for a starting position knowing he might be a back up or retire.
Top 5 QB on the current Patriots roster, for sure!So... not a top 5 QB?

Ugh. That is the worst part. What top FA receiver or TE will want to play with Cam? I can see us attracting RBs but not receiving threats which is what we need desperately.Schefter said the same. thing. Looks like they didn't want to go into free agency and try to get receiving talent without a QB. At least they can tell a prospect they have someone/
It’s been said a few times in here and from reporters - NFL players seemingly have a lot more respect for the guy than we do. He’s not gonna make the difference that a trade for someone like Watson would, obviously, but his presence probably helps a lot more than if it was just Stidham here.Ugh. That is the worst part. What top FA receiver or TE will want to play with Cam? I can see us attracting RBs but not receiving threats which is what we need desperately.
Sick burn. Better than you are, though. So you’re, what, top 8? Top 10? Your rankings are always so accurate.Nope and you aren't a top 5 poster either. Sorry to break it to you.
