He will play the victim because some Patriots fans on instagram and twitter are racist.

Good thing I'm not on any social media, might get me in trouble. Oh no, not for race, although BLM people wouldn't like what I'd say very much.

Calling idiots "idiots" would do me in

Social media is a sewer because most conservatives are silenced. Shadowbanned. Outright banned. Blocked from sharing stuff. Don't show up organically on live feeds. Millions of ways to silence conservatives on social media and it's all under the table and no oversight at all.

But yeah Cam will blame racists for his struggles. Same shit that David Price did in Boston.

I hope not.

We don't need race wars here.

Every NFL coach is as good as their starting QB is

The starting QB helps. But I'll take Bellichik over anyone else all things being equal. The rest of them are not and never will be in his class. He is a unique being in coaching annals.

Right now the Patriot problem goes far beyond Cam Newton. Brady sucked here last year too. This team is just devoid of talent. The offense can compete for the worst in the league.

I had told people that Newton’s arm was gone. Did well fading him In Carolina. When he got to the Pats, I was skeptical, but willing to see if he got the arm healthy. At the start of the season, it looked like his arm was ok. Everyone was happy and hopeful. Unfortunately his arm is gone. He can be the man to be relief QB when the Pats get ahead in a game, but as long as the opponent doesn’t have to worry about anything down the field, he can’t succeed, especially with guys who can’t get open. Harry is a stiff, and Edelman knowns Newton can’t throw.

Was really surprised when they signed Cam to begin with, I always though Stidham had potential to be a good pro. Start him this year, have a shitty record but get a good draft pick and get him some skill position help.

I wonder if the effects of covid got to him (not trying to get into a covid argument)

maybe stamina isn’t there? Maybe he’s mentally out of b/c of health scare? Maybe something else?

I didn’t watch much today but he was AWFUL last week

he looked solid vs fins and Seahawks

ie Mike McCarthy

There are outliers to this. Andy Reid's offense is good enough that any QB will play well in it.

Then there are QBs like Tannehill that can look like trash with one coach and then now obviously he looks great in Tennessee with a competent coach.

Cam added a new wrinkle to the team that took about 2 weeks for the rest of the league to catch up to .
At the end of the day we right back where we were .

They have no talent on offense .

They are probably the only team in the NFL that did not have a single player drafted in the first 10 rounds of fantasy football drafts .

Think about it .
In most fantasy drafts the patriots are probably the last team in the entire nfl this season they had a player drafted in fantasy football this year .

Even teams like the Jets , Giants, etc have players they get drafted way before anyone on the Pats got drafted .

And even after 7 weeks there really is not any player on the team who is anything more then a bye week fill in on a good team

him and his dad both said he never had any symptoms. that is one nasty virus when you don't exhibit symptoms but it saps your stamina and fucks with your mental state

There's the problem. Awful offensive talent.

And the problem was worse last year for Brady because two of this year's starting linemen were out for the bulk of last year. I tried to tell you guys that Brady wasn't done. But ya'll said that Father Time had taken him away. Nope. That Tampa team may now be the best in the NFC because Brady has lifted the WHOLE team up.

I just had to look at my draft results

Edelman was the first pats player pick at pick 73

How many of the other 31 teams had at least one player drafted before the 73rd pick

I bet everyone of them

No exercise
No rhythm with his receivers
No practice

I'm not saying thats the sole reason.

Just wondering if that is a big reason of his suckiness since he's came back from Covid.

We need another starting QB to get COVID so we can then get a comp
