Patriots/NFL 2020 - Football is back

[JRull86]

I think under normal circumstances, I'd put more stock into them signing/trading for a guy. But when there's going to be a virtual offseason program, probably no OTAs, and who knows how they are going to handle training camp, you absolutely roll with the guy who was on the roster last year in Stidham, and his backup who has been in the system for years in Hoyer.

Aside from a HOF talent like Rodgers, who let's be serious, isn't actually getting moved, it's honestly crazy to think anyone else, especially a veteran , is going to come in here and be successful without getting the camp reps from OTAs through preseason.

Way better to see what they have in Stidham, and re-evaluate next off-season.

I like to imagine that Bill knows how incompetent the rest of the league is and knew ahead of time that if Stidham blows this year he’d have the chance to acquire one of Watson or Rodgers next offseason

Even if he’s mediocre another team will make the kid a starter like all our other backups. It’s year 2. If he’s ever going to be a great QB he will be above average/good this year.

NFL Network's Charley Casserly: New England Patriots had Round 3's best pick in tight end Devin Asiasi

Knowing Belichick's opinion of Charley Casserly, I wouldn't be completely shocked if he now regrets taking Asiasi.

Looking forward to seeing what Stidham can do.

I don't know why any team would be interested in Cam after that Super Bowl

 

[Gator Mike]

Before anyone says anything... I'm not interested in Andy Dalton, either.

Out: GOAT
In: DALTON?

ouf

At this point I'm convineced that any QB that gets cut or is "made available" will be tied to the Patriots. Soooo many in the media have been overlooking Stidham and amendment that the Patriots will bring someone in, that they'll keep throwing crap against the wall vs admitting they were wrong.

 

[CDJ]

If he’s the backup it’s ok I guess

Stidham should be the starter though

 

[Smitty93]

The Patriots have less than $1.7 million in cap space. Maybe they cut someone or restructure a contract to create more space, but that seems unlikely, since it seems like they're willing to take the hit this season so as to not kick the can further down the road.

If Dalton is willing to play for the Jameis Winston contract ($1.1 million cap hit), maybe it happens, but I doubt they're signing any other QB unless they come super cheap (i.e. less than $5 million).

 

[JRull86]

I want no part of Andy Dalton, even if he'd be a better option to backup Stidham than Hoyer.

98% sure that Dragon's source is Andy Dalton's agent.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Let him go to Jacksonville. He would serve absolutely no purpose here as a backup and I don’t want him starting.

Stidham leads us to AFC Championship but gets injured by a late hit from Baltimore in the AFCCG. The Red Rifle takes over and walks into Tampa Bay and defeats Tom Brady to earn his place as a bonafide NFL dragonslayer.

If its Brady vs Bill in the superbowl, everyone outside of NE/TB head would explode. They'd either have to cheer for Brady...they guy they've tried to downplay as the goat. Or BB and the Patriots, who are the most hated franchise in football.

It would be glorious to see everyone squirm lol

Excellent breakdown of 2nd round pick Josh Uche from former NFL scout Dan Hatman:

 

[McGarnagle]

Josh McDaniels' brother is an assistant coach at Michigan. Might explain why we keep picking up Michigan players in the draft.
