They brought in Cam because there is a mountain of uncertainty surrounding Stidham’s play, or else they could have brought in any old QB to be the back up. Newton has serious, high-end starting potential. He’s the guy if Stidham fails to meet expectations.

GordyTheGoffer Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) I'm surprised to read people suggest that Cam is a better option than Brady at 42/43. I'm not even a Pats or Brady fan but that's a big reach there Edited June 29, 2020 by GordyTheGoffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveOurSonics Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I love this for a number of reasons. First, I'm a Cam supporter so I'm very happy to see that he's getting another chance to start and lead a team. Second, I think Cam can be just good enough to ensure the Patriots aren't in position to draft one of the top QBs from the 2021 class, while also not turning the Patriots into a legitimate championship threat in the AFC. For any Patriots fan who wanted a more immediate rebuild/reload approach, this isn't it. For any Patriots fan who simply wants to remain competitive and potentially reach the playoffs this year, this should be seen as good news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense should remain very strong. They are capable of giving this team at least 6 wins on their own. With Cam healthy I think this team caps out at 10 wins. Without him, I still think the bottom is 6 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get 10 wins with Matt Cassell, i'm sure they could get more with Newton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam wont have a prime Randy Moss and Wes Welker covering up his inconsistencies and making him look better than he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a relatively high stakes fantasy footballer who has stakes in Claypool I'm also happy to see this.

DoleINGout Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 2 hours ago, ET80 said: 32 teams, one starting QB per team... divide that number by 2, gives me 16. So... top 10-15 is literally "average to above average". Do you need me to buy you a calculator, or something? Perhaps an abacus? Maybe a quick tutorial on MS Excel? You called healthy Cam Newton top 10-15 then said he probably has never been top 10 except for one season... so I am confused bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSURacerDT55 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Love how they strategically announced this before the sanctions, but I love the move. They were waiting in the bushes the whole time, to be honest, I never really cared for the Patriots but have a lot of respect for them for this one. Honestly, If this is successful, there should be several GMs that should get fired when they had the opportunity to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying a QB is "not top 10" but is "10-15" makes perfect sense to people who understand context. No one says "Top 9". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand why you would one page say one thing then several pages later say something counter to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
