Cam Released

[moosekill]

I called this early on. Bill respects Cam, but had to make sure Mac was ready. If it was Mac's job, no way you can keep Cam. I remember the huge debates going into the Superbowl with Brady and Bledsoe, it would be a mess. This gives Cam a chance to get a job somewhere else.

Wonder how much Cam's whole Covid snafu factored in.

 

[Zarozzor]

Nice.

 

[Froob]

Well thanks for everything Cam, didn’t go great but he showed up every day with a positive attitude and played hard for us.

Let’s go Mac!!!

 

[amfootball]

Hallelujah!!

 

[holyredeemer]

It’s bittersweet. In a perfect world, he’d be an incredible and supportive backup. Providing a different dynamic if **** hit the fan. A complete class act. I wish him the best wherever his life takes him at this point. This also means we are preparing the Mac attack boys and girls!! Gonna have a rookie at QB. If he stays healthy, this is gonna be one helluva a painful at times and joyous at times type of ride. Hopefully the kids is who we all thought he was.

 

[Bill Lee]

Hope this restores some people's faith in Bill the GM.

Of course they'll be waiting for Cam to latch on with someone else and show how Bill made a big mistake.

 

[Scotty]

wowwwwww.......did not think it would be that fast

 

[jboston19]

I wish him the best moving forward. I gained a lot of respect for him as a person in his time here.

 

[CISGS]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[ashley]

@Ring 6 amongst others will be very happy!!!!

This is shocking to say the least. I don’t think I’ve ever been more shocked by a cut, ever. I’m a huge Mac Jones fan, but I didn’t see this coming. Unbelievable. Hoyer survives again lol.

 

[Wozzy]

Cam's toast

 

[Bill Lee]

I didn't see any upside to keeping Cam, but did not expect this.

I think our poll on Cam starting Game 1 was strongly expecting BB to start him.

Edit:



Moral of the story: Always go with RLKAG!!!

 

[Ollie]

I'm stunned... This leaves us really thin at qb though. When is stidham, back?

 

[RobertWeathers]

If I had to guess Bill told him Mac would start and he asked to be cut.

Yep.

 

[Boomer B]

Mac clearly won the QB battle throughout training camp and the pre-season. He gives the Patriots the ability to run there full offence. Bill probably wasn’t too impressed with Cam having to take those 5 Covid days off also. I’m not really to shocked Cam was cut as the offence he runs wouldn’t be the same so best to have Hoyer and then Stidham be the backups.

 

[Taxed in Maine]

Not surprised. I've been saying for months it was 50/50 that he even makes the team.

 

[Uncle Rico]

What's that saying: If you have two starting quarterbacks you don't have any? Mac earned it. Just has a knack for, you know, getting the ball into receivers' hands. Even if they drop it a bit too often.

Best of luck to Cam. Cool dude, good teammate by all indications. I enjoyed his presence though never felt impressed with his play.

 

[long distance]

Surprised. Sad for Cam. Excited for Mac & NE.

Obviously McDaniels wanted to play his game and enjoy the Mac ride asap..
