Just because you believe what you think doesn't mean you're right. I said my view, if you don't like it, you don't have to accept it...

Doesn't mean I'm right? Come on man, if you think I am wrong - Step up. Speak your piece - If you can defend your opinion, Do so.

I don't accept the garbage you were spewing. If I were talking trash about the cowboys I would fully expect people here to stand up to me. You are talking crap about the Patriots and BB - and have demonstrated you don't know what you are talking about.

I have no problem challenging people who are wrong, especially when their bias appears to be based on a lack of knowledge on the topic matter, half truths and innuendo. But instead of discussing it, you turn tail?

Cam's a backup!!! That's IF he makes the team!!!

until today, Cam, Hoyer and Stid the Kid have been splitting the reps equally...

you know what they say? When you got three qbs you got none... So far, if Can a little bit better graso of the playbook, the job is his... will know definitively if he starts to get tmost reps as camp progresses

hey lol he probably spent $5000 on that outfit !!

I believe he already did. As did you. People are going to believe what they want to believe.

Julian Edelman is impressed.

Says Cam isn't just a specimen, but an extremely hard worker who is very likeable and who permiates confidence that is contagious.

by all accounts, it sounds like hes going to start.

I agree. First of all the notion that the NE depth chart will be determined based on how much players are being paid is not even remotely how Belichick runs the team. Drew Bledsoe had a $100 million contract (and this is back when $100 million was considered a lot of money) and he got benched in favor of a guy making a couple hundred thousand. (Yes I know Brady originally took over because of an injury so when I say Bledsoe “got benched” I am referring to the fact that once he got healthy, he became the backup QB on that team).

Based on reports from camp, it seems to me like Cam will be starting week 1. I’m not going to bet the farm on that, it’s just what it feels like.

we've known he was brought in to be the starter since the day he signed... as soon as stid got nicked up in camp, Cam took over and got the majority of reps... the official announcement today was a mere formality

 

[JoeKing]

Huge move.

Assuming Cam can beat out Stidham, they're likely going to have to retool their entire offense.

The Pats will kick the tires on Cam and cut him in August if they don't think they will get at least what Brady gave them in 2019.

Newton was just named Pat's starting QB.

Really? I'm shocked. This, IMO was a done deal the second he came to the team. What actually did shock me was those that thought he wouldn't be the starter. There's no QB on the team that even remotely comes close to an NFL starter let alone start over Cam. But yet people thought differently.
