Today In Patriots History July 8: Patriots sign Cam Newton

Stidham is better than Zappe just by having a much stronger arm.

He's also tall enough to actually see down the field.

Definitely should’ve unintentionally tanked a lil further that year. Also shouldve traded thuney post tag and Gilmore at the least. Not sure if it would have made a difference since all the 2021 qbs sucked as bad or worse than mac besides Lawrence who we had not shot at but would have at least had more draft capital.

Gilmore absolutely should've been dealt at the 2020 deadline instead of the '21 deadline; we might've received a 3rd-rounder for that extra year... And Thuney should've been either allowed to walk after 2019 or - my preference - signed to a multi-year extension (which should've happened Immediately after the 2018 SB)... Either way the filthy ****ing Queefs wouldn't have gotten their filthy ****ing hands on him because they didn't have to cap space to sign him after 2019... Thanks Bill!

Same day that the league announced the penalties to the Pats for the Kraft video crew stupidly pointing a camera at the Bengals sidelines. Glad they allowed the team to announce Cam's signing at the same time to distract from that.

That 3rd-rounder we lost could've been G/C Quinn Meinerz...

Probably because he has shown just enough to make others believe that there's still something un-tapped there...

I guess the same thing that has us believing zapp still has something untapped...

What... u don't like stranger at pick # 29? LOL

In retrospect, heck yeah... Though at the time I had my eyes on either somebody like Cole Kmet on offense after the **** show at TE the previous year; or a CB like Trevon Diggs from Nick Saban's U of A on defense... FS Antoine Winfield JR was probably the best non-QB available at 37; but DMac would play for 3 more seasons, so I can understand why he at least wasn't taken there...

Bill should have been all in on a QB in 2020. Baffling that he completely omitted the position... he had to know knew what he had with stidham... which is why we ended up with ©?? ??????
