Patriots sign QB Cam Newton


Apparition

Recommended Posts

Highly likely he gets injured first few weeks or gets benched by week 8 latest. He's got @ Seahawks and @ Chiefs first four weeks. Then home games against Denver (a team with Von Miller that will always be in his head) and 49ers home. That's probably two home losses before they have to decide if it's Stidham or a banged up Cam at that point going @ Buffalo week 7 to decide the division. Schedule is awful.

Took this move way longer than it should have, but that's a great landing spot for Cam.

Why?  We've been in the middle of a pandemic where teams couldn't physically examine players and Cam has been hurt.  Not only that, but we still aren't even sure we're going to have a season this year.  Why sign a guy to a big contract until you know more if you are a GM?  Cam probably wants to be assured of being a starter and wants starter money.  I don't blame him to a great extent, but I also don't blame teams at all for holding off for a while.

Could end up being an incredible move if he is healthy. Patriots were already reportedly revamping their offense for a more mobile Stidham so Cam could fit in there nicely. I'd imagine that Newton is very motivated to show people that he's not washed up for good.

Funny how people bring this play up but they don't want to talk about the refs cheating the Panthers out of the game so Peyton could get his retirement trophy. 

Funny how people deflect and use any kind of thought to pretend it was anyone elses fault other than their own. You're basically every bias sports fan on the planet.

Nah it was one of the most biased games in recent memory. Multiple headshots on Cam Newton no call. Denver offsides on two missed Panther FG's, the egregious non call on the Cotchery catch. All of those impacted the game more than one play where Cam didn't dive on the ball that he wasn't going to recover anyway. The league wanted Cam to pay the price for his confidence and let Manning ride off into the sunset.

It's a giant conspiracy, you're right. Join Raiders fans in saying that refs and league have it out for them as well. Anyone else want to pile on more conspiracy theories? I'm sure there's plenty.

Not a conspiracy, just blatantly obvious when you watch the game. He's head hunted multiple times and again in the rematch in 16. Cam has not been treated fairly by the league or the media.
