Jesus Christ, Pats are going to be bad again I guess.

I swear to God I think someone looked Belichick in the eye and said "you won't do it," and here we are lol.

i mean, their options at qb are cam, dalton, fitzmagic, jameis, mariota, trubisky, tyrod, flaco, and alex smith

cam, fitz, and jameis are the best options lol

[Weltall]

Cam is not a better option than Mariota or Tyrod lol. Cam is literally awful. On that list, every QB can throw the ball 13 yards without heaving it with every ounce of their being. Cam will hit the dirt 3 yards early.

Edit:

Awful: Cam
Not quite Serviceable anymore: Alex Smith
Serviceable: Dalton, Mariota, Tyrod
Questionable: Tribs
High ceiling: Winston
Awful to High Ceiling on any given Sunday: Fitz

They could have got any of those guys for a lot less than $14m, other than maybe Winston. Also, why rush to pay Cam $14mil? I can't imagine any other team wanted him. If they did, it was post draft, as a backup, and for $4m.

[archibaldcrane]

Yeah, makes absolutely no sense to me

[Boyiee]

Listen they are locking in their top five draft pick for next year totally worth 14 million.

[Rhyis.]

Cam is not a better option than Mariota or Tyrod lol

tyrods last full season as a starter was statically worse than cams 2020 season.

cam isn't particularly good atm but you're living in some crazy recency bias land if you think any version of tyrod is better than bad cam newton

[Weltall]

I don't know shit about Tyrod. I just know it would be extremely hard to be worse than Cam Newton.

[Rhyis.]

PFF disagrees.

I think people are forgetting that we were all trying to retire Bardy in 2019 because of the Pats shitty weapons. I don't think there's a QB on the planet that can make that offense look good until they get real receivers and running backs.

[Weltall]

I don't give a shit what that PFF link says. Pats roster is trash and Cam Newton is trash. He was trash for awhile before the Pats.

[Krandor]

Yeah the Pats had more opt out than any team in the league (granted mostly on defense) and their skill position players were hot fucking garbage.

No one could have made that offense look good

[Weltall]

Not stating anything new there. We have all said their roster is trash for the last 365+.

[Celeras]

If I was invested in them at all I would care less that they "chose" Cam, but more that it was for 14m. After last season? Jesus.

this is a correct take

[Weltall]

Saints are releasing Malcolm Brown.

[Melena]

Well if the Pats are signing Cam for 14mil, I guess that will end the chatter of Jimmy G back to the pats.

[archibaldcrane]

Apparently Cam's deal is 8m+incentives. That makes a little more sense.

[Boyiee]

1 million for every time the ball goes farther than 13 yards before hitting the ground.

[Boyiee]

Speaking of the Patriots, Brady extended with the buccaneers. He'll be locked in through 2022 and should save $19 million on the cap.
