And I told you all that Mac Jones was the real deal--and you laughed at me--nay, you scoffed.  You showed me pictures of his body and called him a system QB, but I stood firm.

Who is scoffing now?

scoff the thick of it GIF

I still don't want him and his noodle arm.

what a sad ending to Cam's career.  

if you want to get a job Cam on a roster....being an unvaccinated FA doesn't seem like a great spot to be in.   I don't see him being picked up.  Would probably take injury at this point for a team to pick him up. 

Yeah, his prospects are very limited if he has any at all.  This just sucks for him.  

And his case is why I don't want to hear poo from fans when a player wants a new contract...  there is no greater example of someone who put their body on the line for an organization, got destroyed in the process, and was thrown out like yesterday's trash for doing so.  

I still honestly wish we would've just kept him and I still think he's better than Darnold.

Cam actually had a decent preseason on field.  He is also cheap.    

I think if you don't want him it is simply COVID headaches or Cam not willing to be happy being a backup that got him cut.  Otherwise, even if you start Mac Jones.....keeping Cam would make sense.

Yeah...that's not happenin'

Probably not but never say never. He's not a starter any more and his shoulder can't hold up over the course of a season but he's a much better backup than PJ... Him not being vaccinated does make things complicated for any team looking at him however.

The Pats seemed very frustrated about the COVID "misunderstanding". Cam has made his own bed with that one.

Yep, rotoworld said it’s likely with him refusing to get the shot and causing issues within Pats org

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
