This brings up feelings I didn’t remember I had

Truth.

God was that road painful.

1989-1992 was 1000 times worse.

Oh, it wasn't THAT bad.

Here's a photo from 1991 of me cheering for the Pats.

He's going to get paid much less once he is no longer in the NFL...and that could be very soon. He could get paid $100k+ as a coach or do something that has nothing to do with football like sitting at a desk and make less.

He doesn't need a $100k/year job. He's been paid $29M. Even if he lost half to taxes and agents, if he's any sort of decent financial advice his investments should be kicking off far more than that each year. He should be able to do whatever he wants to do, including absolutely nothing, and he already has said he doesn't want to put in the hours that being an NFL coach would require.

Apparently, his wife wants more.

That's because there's a bunch of morons on this board who don't understand football and the significance of an offseason especially when it comes to the Qb position. Cam was out football for an entire year before he signed with the Pat's and had virtually no offseason in a Covid year and you dumbasses want to continue to act like that had no effect on not only Cam but the Patriots as a team in general. It's actually hilarious at how many of you have a single digit IQ when it comes to football. I can't wait until Cam makes you guys eat your words the only sad thing is Cam is going to get this team to the playoffs and the cry baby undeserving ass Pat's fans will still get to celebrate after trashing him for an entire year. Absolutely pathetic.

Hey, welcome to the board. I'm glad you came to represent the "all in on Cam" viewpoint. It has been missing from the diversity of expressed opinions.

The hostility seems over the top though.

I'm trying to find the Pats' QB controversy listed on legit sites, to justify the intensity, but coming up empty.

So Harry has to have an “incredible camp” (whatever that means) to beat out Wilkerson for a spot on the 53 because talking to Slater a couple of times during practice makes it a lock that Wilkerson is going to be an elite gunner?

Shouldn’t we at least watch Wilkerson play the gunner role in an NFL game before we give him props for being such an boss as a special-teams player? King’s injury history makes him a big question mark but at least he has shown that he can be an elite gunner at the highest level, so he will likely I’ll be giving strong consideration for a special teams only spot.

Also, Harry has shown himself to be an excellent blocker. That probably holds significant weight for their head coach, when the offense is expected to be run heavy. Wilkerson may end up beating out Harry for a roster spot but he will have to clearly beat him out as a wide receiver first and foremost.

So which personnel groupings do you see us using this year which would lead you to the conclusion that we’re going to keep 5 WRs? Why would that 5th wideout not contribute to ST?

How do you explain the fact that Cam has been making the exact same mistakes in camp this year as he did in every game last year?
