They're crooks led by a super villain in Robert Kraft. Despicable organization. They nipped the terrible news about their cheating ways by deflection that Kraft has learned from his good political buddies.

I like Cam Newton less than I liked him yesterday.
Much less.
Much less.

But man I actually think cam has a comeback player award coming his way. If cam is given a quick 2 reads, a dump off, and sprinkle in some options of all kinds, he should do perfectly fine, I believe josh mcdaniels is gonna be a dream fit for cam. Shame the young pup Lamar is gonna have to insert himself into cams comeback tour and put an end to it come January

You mean Week 10 and then January lol. Then we get over that hump known as the Chiefs in the AFC Title Game.

Yeah I think having a QB who can scramble and extend plays with their legs is going to be more of a thing in this decade of the NFL. I don't think what we are doing with Lamar will be the trend itself, but just having a pocket passer like Mahomes who has the ability to scramble as well is going to be a big thing. If RG3 was coming into the league in the next couple years, he'd fit right in perfectly.

I thought patriots was going to tank for sunshine too. But then again.. I don’t think BB wants those 10+ losses on his overall HC win/loss record. I was waiting to see if BB gets a phantom sickness so his son takes over as interim head coach and absorbs the loss record. Then we all know for sure they’re tanking haha
this made way too much sense - was amazing it didnt happen 2 months ago - he gets to step in and basically be the starter for the pats with a great OC who apparently loves mobile QBs - he hasnt got great weapons or a great roster around him but he instantly becomes the favourite to start
tbf its no secret that McDaniels has always had a thing for mobile QBs

I don't understand what the Panthers are doing. They released cam just to sign noodle arm Teddy. Cam's not as bad as you think.

Panthers dished out a lot of mula for a college head coach to turn around the franchise. Probably think it’s better in the long run to cut bait to start a new culture.
Kind of like how they “needed” to cut steve Smith so Cam can be the face of the franchise. Rinse and repeat with Matt Rhule.
for context:
“Really, I think the organization felt like for Cam to flourish they needed Steve to step down," Gross told the NFL Network. "It wasn't an easy decision."

It had more to do with Teddy having familiarity with Joe Brady's offense. Brady was with the Saints when Bridgewater signed with the Saints. Teddy knows the offense already so it will be easy for him to pick up the playbook and help his teammates learn it.
Also has @rossihunter2 said, this is just a stop gap until Matt Rhule finds his Franchise QB.
they've got some offensive players there that i reckon would fit really well with a justin fields type QB (or a trevor lawrence too) - could certainly see them make a major play to get him next offseason if they end up with a top 5 or 10 pick
but the idea of christian mccaffrey, dj moore, curtis samuel and robby anderson with justin fields is a really interesting idea - especially with some of the concepts joe brady's used before especially at LSU to spread out defences and allow the QB to read and react in both the running and passing game
