hoping they give him a chance to play with some real talent at receiver 

Its so sad that we give him no weapons while he's here and then shower teddy b with Moore, Samuel, and Anderson.. Then cam goes up to the patriots where their WRs were even worse than our scrubs

I love Cam but I think his arm is done. He can’t last more than half a season

Gantt said the same.

Honestly though, I think the bigger question applies to Belichick.

Last season had folks asking whether Belichick's greatness was really due to Brady.

Regardless of what happens with Newton, if the Patriots struggle again this year, those questions are gonna get louder.

He lasted all this season, besides the games missed by covid. 
His arm looked fine. 

What?  His arm did NOT look fine. He struggled to throw anything beyond 5 yards, often throwing at people's feet.

Well half their team was missing last year. I’d be excited to see what he could do with an actual professional team too. I guess Demiere is gonna have to go back to the bench. 

Hell, he was their best offensive weapon last year.

probably full of escalators he wont hit. 

Dont be surprised if NE runs a two QB system similiar to what we saw in NO. Cam is the perfect QB for that.

Don't know. Adam Schefter and Tom Pelissero both said this move doesn't necessarily preclude the Patriots from adding another quarterback, so who knows?

It's low pay for a starter, but pretty high pay for a backup. Last year's highest backup salary was apparently about 16 million for Alex Smith.

Josh Klein said Newton will be making less than Taysom Hill this year. I didn't remember Hill making that much.

Taysom makes about 16mil per year right now.

    • I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
    • Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.
    • Yeah, these arguments are getting twisted to the point that it's just an airing of old grievances for the 100th time. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what the "trajectory" is, Bryce has to show why he was a number 1 overall draft pick.  If people didn't like Cam and what he did for us at QB, I hate to see what poor Bryce is gonna get if he doesn't reach Manning-esque heights.
