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

    • Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.
    • ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
    • Our red zone offense was excruciatingly painful to watch last season. A half decent TE would do a lot to change that.
