Yeah, that is my thought. For those saying "YuO cAn'T bE cUt FoR nOt BeInG vAcCiNaTed". Cam may not have been good last year, but he is better than Hoyer and Stidham, They are rolling with a rookie and Brian Hoyer to start the season. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cray51 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Not surprised - he had a rough camp and preseason. They like Jones, although I am not as impressed as others might be. He was the 3rd best rookie QB in preseason, and this furthers my thought that the patriots are much more a 7-8 win team than a 10+. Teams will throw a LOT at this kid in game.

Considering the money they through around in FA I could see them landing Watson and mortgaging the future since he won't be there in a few years to deal with the cap consequences. Also there's the connection to the Texans GM Nick Caserio to consider here as well.....I really hope I'm wrong. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 This is Bill doing his best Cortez impersonation and burning his ships after he arrived in the New World. There will be no QB controversy now. The whole team will be forced to rally behind Jones. Bill knew they weren't going anywhere with Cam under center. They might win more games with Cam this season, but not enough to make a real run. He pushed all his chips in on the rookie. It was a smart move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Cam turned down a 25mil/yr extension from the Panthers, but instead takes 5mil/yr from the Pats to prove-it, and gets cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Cam has been thoroughly washed up for 2+ years. I'm surprised the Pats gave him as much rope as they did. This is definitely the right move for them, and I'm sure Cam will find at least one more team willing to kick the tires on him before he bows out of the league.

H2o Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Is this it for Cam's career? He couldn't beat out a rookie QB in NE with it being his 2nd year in the offense.

Albanybillsbacker Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 What is cold blooded about this move? It was painfully obvious that Cam was no longer a starting QB in the NFL.

TheBrownBear Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I like what I've seen from Mac. He's going to do a very good job of running that offense and moving the chains with that running game.
