The SB 50 fumble he shied away from. Is there any chance he thought "Actually, it looks like the ball is going to get one more hop in the other direction, and if it doesn't Ware has me beat anyway so maybe I'll try and just get the jump on the next hop"? But Ware got to it before the next hop? That's the only thing other than being a coward I could think of went through his head. Has he actually explained what went thru his head there?
he has brought in exactly 1 QB in the last 20 years to compete for a starting job and you equate that to "throwing ****at wall and see if it sticks strategy" ok. This is a win win. If Stidham wins the job, then we have our QB of the future. If not, he sits another year and learns. If Cam wins the job, then we are a playoff team during a year when everyone was calling it a rebuild. This is a great low cost moveBB is applying his “throw **** at wall and see what sticks” WR strategy of last several years to QB now. Except that has spectacularly failed for WRs. And will fail for QBs too. Instead of all the vet min contracts that we have to abandon and take cap hits when we cut people, perhaps we should have offered Brady more than the $23m we did and gotten that over the line.
Newton choked big time in the super bowl. Not only the fumble, but many other plays.
Manning was done in that game and the Broncos beatable.
Right here in this thread have a guy anticipating that he will kneel for the anthem and calling him a traitor. Nobody besides me even felt it was worth a disagree. You do the math.Moron alert
It destroys Stidhams rookie season.

Stidham's rookie year was last year.Yeah, against a retread QB instead of wanting to see Stidham in action to have a sense if QB is a priority in the 2021 draft.
This is the same way that the Broncoss played musical QBs trying to replace Elway.
Sometimes one needs to use new information when provided and not be too stubborn to change an opinion.Ok so I recognize I am a Pats apologist. I wanted no part of this guy, and now he's here on a team friendly deal and I am all like "ok, so let's see how he does." At least I recognize that flaw in me.
Ok... so my take... It's a low risk, super high reward signing. Short money. I am interested to see how he adapts to Bill and the Pats. Not much down side.
You do realize he had nearly the same stat line that Tom Brady had against the same defense two weeks priorNewton choked big time in the super bowl. Not only the fumble, but many other plays.

Well, I am not above admitting I didn't want him. I think he's selfish, me first kinda player. But... If Bill thinks he can coach him up, I am willing to see how it goes.Sometimes one needs to use new information when provided and not be too stubborn to change an opinion.
He cannot throw the effing ball and catch the effing ball at the same time.
Newton is NOT an accurate passer. 1 season in his career did he reach a 66% completion percentage. Bradys baseline was a consistent 66% completion range which is why Brady was so successful in todays passing NFL. Newton likes the INTs and sacks.

At Newtons age he does not need to be running around playing Lamar Jackson. Newton will be forced to stay in the pocket and pass which almost always never works out because he is used to running when the walls close in.
Bill went into the season drafting Harry, with Gordon, Edelman. Then he later signed Sanu and Brown.BB is not infallible.
Just look at last seasons WR and TE corp. The 2018 group was subpar and was not fixed in the 2019 offseason. Brady had nobody.
