Hunter2_1 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 So NE beat writers and media are coming down much harder on Cam then I thought they would. Seems I’ve underestimated this. a lot of them are convinced this means Mac is now starter and that BB will be furious with Cam. They’re bringing Cam’s behaviour into question and also mentioning how he had to be dragged away from playing grab *** with the fans at the Eagles game. seems harsh to me? It’s not ideal and it was avoidable but I can’t see how this completely reverses the original order of QBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely has looked better than last year so far plus Belichick doesn't really want to play rookies that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me think he’s unreliable. It’s part of the quarterback’s job to understand all the rules and procedures. If he can’t grasp COVID protocol, then how could he be trusted to lead a drive with 2 minutes left in a playoff game? Time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can’t grasp COVID protocol, then how could he be trusted to lead a drive with 2 minutes left in a playoff game? Time to move on. He 100% has that right but it puts the team in a bad spot and sets a really bad example. Maybe if he was a special teamer whatever. But he’s the QB. If he’s the starter then he’s the face of the team, do we want that face in a mask because he won’t get vaccinated when the league is running pro vaccination campaigns every commercial break? Do we want him infecting the entire QB room (even if they don’t develop symptoms) and we have to forfeit a game? But yeah, if there was any doubt, this should be the final nail in the coffin. I like Cam and I think he could have a successful season here but he’s putting the team in a really bad spot here and not taking this seriously enough.

The Third Rider Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I like Cam, I really do, but I think he is going to lose his job at some point. He looked amazing last preseason game but he also looked good at the beginning of last season too. I don't think his body can take a full NFL season campaign anymore (which is now longer) and with a young, very talented, aspiring QB waiting on the wings it's just but a matter of time till the switch happens. At this point, all Cam has to do is get into another covid protocol disaster and its over for him, the guy has that kind of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 He's out there now practicing with the guys and taking first team reps. I think there's been a bit of an overreaction, but it is yet one more thing to add to the list of reasons to drop him off. Still starts W1, for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Rider Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I mean Mac got all first team reps when Cam was out so Cam getting his turn only makes sense. But this is practice we are talking about. BTW, I do still think Cam starts week 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission27 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Macs performance yesterday plus bills comments have me thinking this is a real possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartMyV8 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Didn't get to see the game, but just stats browsing, looks like Cam crapped the bed a bit compared to MJ. I'm starting to lean to an MJ start, or if Cam gets the nod the leash is extremely short, especially with 2 division games to lead off the season.

SBLIII Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Cam got the starter treatment but if we are 2-2 or 1-3 after Tampa, I see a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely got the starter treatment. Its also important to note just how long Mac played last night. This is Cam's job week 1 for sure.

Apparition Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Anyway, my read on it is basically the same as most. I think Cam starts but will have to play very well to keep that job. I'm just more bullish on him being able to do that than most, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
