I'd be pretty surprised if NE outright cut Cam before the season.  But I'd also be equally surprised if Cam is their starting QB at the midway point in the season.  He's their best known commodity at QB at this point, but Belichick obviously isn't committed to him by any means.

Can Cam be a good backup though? Dude has been so used to being "The Man" since dominating at Auburn, can his personality and ego take the hit of not being a starter? 

It's unknown territory. I mean he's been on the sidelines with a clipboard before....but that was because of injuries. I'm not questioning if he's a good teammate (plenty of evidence he was always good to the squad) but can the dude handle being demoted?

If New England wants to move on from him they should look to swap him for Foles in Chicago. Cam can help groom Fields and Foles would be much better than Stidham or Hoyer to learn from in NE. Both teams win. 

I love Cam, but I don't think any teams will be clamoring for him to be the role model for their rookie QB. Hard worker and great player in his time, but not quite the fit for what you are talking about. Teddy would be, but not Cam IMO.

Newton strikes me as the type of guy to walk away from the game before he'd accept being a backup.

Here are the teams with the least space...

No shock who's at the top, but also noteworthy that every other team in our division is on that list.

 

Julio will be traded after June 1.  It's the only option they have to sign their draft picks, and that June 1 designation will mean his new team will only have to pay him 7.75 million for the next 3 years.  But since the Saints and Bucs can't afford him, Julio will no longer be in our division.

its almost like they don't expect newton to finish the season healthy.

How dare you. 

THE PJ Walker is undefeated and has beaten opponents by an average of 20 pts per game in the NFL. 

If he maintains such a pace, he basically will be Bo Jackson in tecmo bowl and go down in Panther history.

I imagine him landing in Raider land or the Bills

Depends what you are looking to get from him. 

Bill loves Cam to a large degree.   His work ethic.  His accountability.  How he gives everything in his tank.  How serious and important winning is.   First on the field.  And Cam is a great locker room guy.   

Depends what you want a vet to give to your young guy….I mean they have coaches for mechanics and all that.

      The Pro Bowl is Unwatchable

      I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL

      1 shot 1 goal tracker

      I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes.

      Post senior bowl PFF mock draft

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
