How often do you think BB is or will be completely honest with the media? Especially when it comes to matters about his team? Not saying he probably wasn't telling the truth. Just i take crap he says with a grain of salt.

I would take your word for it. I would take your word for it. I never heard it or got the vibe..but then again a fan is gonna fan..I sure you guys know that from your own fan base

I could see him being better than Jimmy G in practice n preseason games. Jimmy G was the type to perform better during real games.. But BB pretty much showed everyone what he thought of Stidham early. Picking up Newton late in the off season, the Chiefs game where Hoyer was God awful and BB still waited to late sec half to put Stidham in the game. Or the dozen times Newton didn't look good. Stidham still never really got in.

What Patriot fan said this?? Stidham at one point last season was behind Newton and Hoyer. He barely ever saw the field last season. How could a Pats fans hype him if they never saw him!? I remember pats fans wanting him to play cause the thought was he had to be better than Newton and Hoyer ....

I think he is intriguing to some because he is a Patriot now, if he was with another team nobody here would be focusing on him like that. (Not dissing anyone) Look at how many rookie QBs are starting this year and how many 2nd year QBs will be playing. To me Lawrence w Meyer is a more intriguing, Hurts, Tua, Burrow, Herbert etc..again I am not trying to crap on what topic people decide to talk about..just saying.

https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2021/09/01/brian-hoyer-patriots/ Patriots re-sign QB Brian Hoyer to back up Mac Jones The Patriots announced they’ve re-signed quarterback Brian Hoyer on Wednesday, one day after cutting the 12-year veteran. The move to cut Hoyer was procedural, and multiple reporters correctly predicted the Patriots planned to bring him back .............. I swear people don't care to think. They have their backup...he wasn't going into the season without one.

What is there to "bask in?"

My main point. its not even about BB and the pats, just a general statement. Not saying, not having a backup isn't important And really about BB the man has been coaching since the 70s like do people honestly think he has no idea what a 53 man roster should consists of?? Please tell me what he is doing wrong in this scenario ?

Who cares about a teams backup?? No coach wants to leave theirs teams destiny in the hands of a backup. So...

Reading some bills fans claiming to have heard pats fans making playoff plans, Funny because some bills fans act like their team already won a SB.

And you would be wrong. The beginning of that season BB was already thinking about switching QBs. And he is not right, he(BB) spent 20 years with one QB which he helped developed like what was he supposed to do? Get rid of him so he can prove to a small majority he is more than a coach who coached Tom Brady.

I get that, but he is just now starting his career and i found out that some coaches, when they do these preseasons games, they get together and talk what they want each other's team to work on. So at least for the most part that was not what their focus for Jones was on top of the fact Agholor didn't give them the opportunity to make that throw. They did have a 3rd and long to Harry that Harry messed up. a lot of timing routes and just this past game with the Giants...i can't remember if it was Joe Judge or BB, but one of them asked the other to have their team blitz a lot so they could see how their QB handles it. No that is not why they did it, it's nothing to do with circumventing the system. They want to go with the rookie (among other things) and Cam was not going to be the backup.

They reported that the 3 reasons Cam was released was 1. COVID 2. Jones out played him and 3. he(CAM) did not really impressed them all that much and geez, if he could be half of Brady i would love that....their receivers (or lack of..) worry me, and i don't see BB really putting an effort into upgrading, or even knowing how to do that.

Yes you are right, i don't think they are going to be run, run all the time, hence the two TEs and Cam being release. BB is no way trying to run the same type of offense they did last year. They want their QBs to make throws; back shoulders, outs to backs, the strikes down the middle, alot of timing routes (especially those. Those do not get their immobile QBs killed) similar to how they ran with Brady. Yea by no means do I think the patriots are trying to replicate what they did or what they had with Brady, No that is gone, that was a once in a lifetime phase. This is just about being competitive again.

That is the problem people continue to think brady brady brady....they are not looking to replicated Brady success their philosophy has always been this way. They draft with this offense in mind, they look for a certain receiver to run routes a certain way, it all goes as one. They aren't doing this because it worked for Brady. THis is how they like to play and hence why they go out and grab up two TEs. They aren't an offense that wants to rely heavily on receiver's. I doubt that is the outcome, BB is not high on Stidham in anyway and there hasn't been any discuss about Stidham since his injury.

That's not what he will be asked to do and it's not the patriots offense. And you missed the throw he made to Harry on a 3rd and long plus Brady made a career out of doing the opposite here.

The back up is hoyer, Stidham is injured and more likely done w the patriots

Just curious, what teams were these? And I do not doubt that he is a very good coach but I have not heard anyone say "teams are following what the bills did after playing such and such.."

This dude really thinks I take him serious. 🤣

They won 7 games last year w a crap roster, their rosters is miles ahead of last seasons and you saying they will win the same amount of games..ha ha 👌 You should take a look at their schedule as well.

You're orig. statement sounded more like everything outside of NE especially when you referred to other QBs. I mean i think there is/was a small group that hyped Stidham, but hey fans being fans.(i think it's diff. in Jones case). i read on here where there are some bills fans hyping Trubisky after 1 preseason game, i mean it's Matt Trubisky and according to some of this board if Allen had to go down(not wishing that) Trubisky can now keep things rolling, like really!?

They did draft two tight ends that suck, but they picked up two very good TEs in free agency and they will be the focal point of their offense this year. They probably will win 9 to 10 games this season in only year two of Brady's departure...so they are going to be fine.

Stidham never got any hype like that, he just happened to be "the next" QB after Brady at the time, but he has never done anything Mac Jones is doing now in camp.
