CorkScrewHill Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) In practice today it appears he hit a helmet .. there was enough concern that the checked for a break .. there are none, but they are monitoring. Probably no impact 3 months out other than reducing his time working with his teammates. Given he had little time with them last year I am certain they wanted to take advantage of the return of OTAs and mini-camp. Ā now for the real question.. if his hand was broken would that really change anything .. they were Buffalo Bill hell years bad at passing last year.

maddenboy Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) or, what if BB said: Ā "hey Cam, do the team a favor.Ā Pretend to get a flesh wound early in practice.Ā We wanna see how Mac does if he has to come in cold and work with the Ones."Ā wouldnt surprise me.Ā Ā Also to see how Cam will take to seeing Mac at the helm, after Cam is pulled inĀ mid game, or mid drive. Ā But then, I admit I subscribe to the 'evil genius' narrative.Ā Ā Edited June 4, 2021 by maddenboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/06/04/report-cam-newtons-hand-is-not-broken-but-he-is-undergoing-more-tests/ Ā Nothing directly related to Cam here, but while at Casey Middle school in WNY I had a gym teacher who had been a punter for the Chargers. He wanted to show off in front of the class, and sent me back to field a punt. I had obviously never seen a punt like that, but backed up fast enough to semi-successfully field the punt. I caught itĀ just fine, andĀ the class was awed by the ginormous punt. The āsemiā part was because it was one of those cheap, plasticĀ Voit balls, and the point of the ballĀ caught me on the bone at the base of my right thumb. Ā Remember those balls? Harder than a cinder block and I got a bone bruise that lasted almost a year! Iām not saying that will happen to Cam, just reliving a childhood nightmare! Ā Iād imagine hitting your throwing hand on a helmet could yield a similar result, to some degree. Iām surprised it doesnāt happen more often.Ā Ā A bone bruise on any part of your body is a VERY nasty thing! A doctor who worked with my sons said on a scale of 1-10, it gets murky in the middle between a bruise and a break.Ā Ā Ā .

Rocky Landing Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 If the Patriots* are really intent on developing Mac Jones as the potential franchise QB, then Cam is not the right vet QB to mentor him. Ā IMO, when they brought back Hoyer, the writing was on the wall for Cam's departure--Ā wounded hand, knee, shoulder, ego, or whatever notwithstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldnāt surprise me if he gets released, I for sure wouldnāt have given him another 1 year deal to stick around, after his performance last year.Ā 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
