The reason Joe Brady picked Teddy over Cam

It’s well documented that Joe Brady had tremendous influence on the decision to bring in Teddy. Red flag alert that an unproven 30 year old coordinator has that much pull in an organization off the bat, but whatever.

The reason that he chose to do this is simple: Cam Newton is an alpha dog who would never listen to Joe Brady lol....and why would he?

Teddy is your typical alpha-beta male. Can command a room until a real alpha dog shows up. I would say he is closer beta than alpha but I’m not keeping score.

anyway, Joe Brady needed a beta guy around in order to be able to coach him. Unproven college coaches can’t hold a candle to Newton caliber NFL players so that is why they made the decision and ultimately why this team is made up of so many betas, castoffs, and young guys.
 

Quite simple.

After all this talk about how amazing Cam Newton did yesterday I was kind of shocked to find out he didn't complete a pass over 14 yards. He also ran 15 times?? 

At that pace, Cam won't make it to mid season. I hope New England has a better plan for him long term. 

Agreed. McDaniels has always seemed to have wanted a running threat at QB. I hope he doesn't fall in love with that new toy because yesterday it seems like he did.

Belichick has specific game plans for each team, something we aren't used to seeing much variety under Rivera/Fox who want to win with the same formula every time no matter who the opponent is. Miami has really good starting corners and New England's outside receivers don't have much experience. Solution, beat at their weakness through the ground game, let their defense force Fitzpatrick into mistakes, take the easy win. He will not use the same game plan against Seattle, that's why he's the best.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
