When many of us said we wanted a Quarterback that was a reverse of what we had as a starter in 2020 .....

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Belichick finally listened to our pleas!

We asked him to have a quarterback that was a reversal of what the starting quarterback did in 2020 so he went out and got M-A-C to compete for C-A-M in camp - what he didn't realize is when we asked for a reversal we didn't mean the first names,he took it the wrong way

Here is the question I have:

Keep Newton, as a surprise as somebody that opponents did not prepare for due to his different style of offense?​

​

Get a traditional QB as the backup, so the rest of the offense does not have the need to play a different style in case of injury?​

In my opinion Cam was an extremely inexpensive upgrade, well worth the investment at a time when the Patriots were looking at going into a season with Hoyer and Stidham as their only options at QB. Considering the options at that point it was a great add at an excellent value.

We are now one year down the road. To me the best option would be to say sayonara, and add a backup that would not require a retooling of the offense in case of emergency.

The only quarterbacks I wanted the Patriots to acquire were Jones or Garoppolo. I think Jones could be a Cousins level quarterback here.

I've said for a while now that I think Lawrence is the only All-Pro/MVP quarterback in this class. Wasn't high at all on the Wilson/Lance/Fields trio. I think their ceiling is Goff/Dalton/2011-2014 Newton level. So guys who are perhaps Pro Bowl level but never top 10.

I think his ceiling is higher than cousins. That’s how i feel about the kid. I compared him to matt ryan. We shall see.

Jones will have a significantly better career than Kirk Cousins. You can bookmark me on this.

Agree consistent coaching and an offense that will play to his strengths are critical for his development..

Little known fact: Cameron spelled backward is McCorkle.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Yes Mac is Cam backwards

Matt Ryan has been a very steady/solid QB including a monster MVP season. I’d gladly take that

I see no reason why we shouldn't keep Cam for as long as he's useful. He definitely plays differently than Mac does and could come in for the occasional mind**** snap to put the D on its heels.

 

[captain stone]

Yeah I'm in the keep Cam camp for now...Gotta get through all of TC first, then decide...Stid would be the #3 or trade bait...Dolegala to the PS again, especially if the PS/IR/PUP rules are similar to last year's I hope...
