Mac Jones should be starting week 1 anyways.
dim kettle
You think worn out Cam who was benched multiple times for Stidham last season gives the Pats the best chance of winning this year? 
But yeah, I'm not exactly over that either. But you have endure pain sometimes.
haughty moss
being petty >> logic
dim kettle
Yep.
But hey, Maybe one day you can say. Mac Jones beat me and won me a championship.
haughty moss
Hate having to root for Alabama guys
rustic mountain
I would love for Mac to start the more I think about it
I have NO IDEA why Bill likes Cam so much
It's only eclipsed by Bill taking no name safeties in the second round of the draft in terms of "wtf Bill??" Decisions
celest zephyr
Mac will probably get put in during the last game of the regular season
so Bill can say that he played him in his first season
dim kettle
If Mac doesn't start by week 3 or 4, It's a wasted season. There is no reason why washed up arm Cam should be starter. You drafted a QB with top draft capital, use him!
If Bill thinks Cam after last year is still a quality starter in this league then he is a moron and that's not disrespecting all the amazing things he's done the last 20 years. But you're not winning a championship or competing with Cam and if you're not trying to win a championship with him, then you need to find out whether or not you can win one with Mac Jones.
haughty moss
Yah but don’t mean Cam shouldn’t be starting week 1
more prep, the weapons are there now if he stumbles then move on but there’s no crazy footage for mac to be QB1 rn
dim kettle
Even with the new weapons, this is still the same dude that got benched multiple times last year. And let's say Mac Jones and Cam Newton are very close coming out of that training camp, I'd start the damn rookie you drafted with a fairly high draft pick.
You just said that there's no crazy footage for mac to be QB1. Well, how the hell are we really suppose to know until you actually play the dude in a regular season environment?
haughty moss
Not making excuses for Cam but not like it’s a wild take for to start Week 1. Offseason activities + full training camp compared to last year, he’s gonna be out there.
He had 12 rushing tds during a year with an inept offense, he’s not sitting on the bench lol
dim kettle
Let's put it this way, if Bill thought Cam was the guy coming into 2021. They 1, wouldn't have given him a pity contract like he got now and 2, they wouldn't have drafted a QB with a 1st round pick.
We can even go back to his last fairly healthy season with the Panthers. He sure had a lot of talent along with a Christian McCaffrey, Did he really bring the Panthers to the playoffs? No, they ended 7-9.
Like, yes, Cam has legs. But Mac brings accuracy, decision making, field vision, and instincts as a pocket passer that Cam simply doesn't.
Cam's biggest perks as a QB was his legs, and massive arm strength which Cam doesn't have anymore.
Look at Joe Flacco. The Ravens could've started Troy Smith in that 2008 season. But John Harbaugh knew it was best to start the young QB you drafted with a first round pick. Did the Ravens ever regret starting Flacco day one since? Hell no!
Even look at the comparisons Mac Jones got with Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan started day one, I don't think the Falcons ever regretted starting him day one.
haughty moss
Why would they? he didn't have elite competition in that dept lol
they did not have a Cam on that team atm
dim kettle
Because, "They're a young QB. They have to sit and learn."
If they had that mindset, they would've signed a FA QB. But they didn't.
They knew the best way for a young QB to learn is to start regular season football games.
For the Patriots situation. You know starting Cam day one is only delaying the inevitable.
Same with the 49ers. You know Lance will start games, so why bother waiting? You can't cuddle and hide things from these young QBs in today's age. If the QB struggles, it's better to know now how he handles and deals with adversity. If he get's hurt, well, what's stopping that from happening 2-3 years from now?

I was just thinking that with PSG history of not performing well in the champions league and them constantly spending all the money they do that if they would have won one in the last 3 years that they would feel some of that pressure off their shoulders and would be more likely to sell if Mbappe expressed he was going to leave anyway.

We met the amount of 40m price to allow us to negotiate with him but Liverpool just flat out refused to let us speak to him
Mainly because they felt disrespected by us offering 40m and £1
He tried to force his way out but was convinced by Gerrard to stay another year
Worked out in the end for him
But they’re lucky we didn’t take it further 
Pretty sure since then Liverpool don’t do clauses like that in players contracts and they even have a anti arsenal clause in Firminos contract

Was just one of the teams when they said he may leave
honest umbra
but why? he would go from sb contender to nothing
haughty moss
well for GB it’s just a matter of how they view Jordan Love as a future QB, but for Denver I def see how it makes sense for Rodgers.
Apparently he would prefer moving closer to the West Coast, and Denver was one of the teams he listed in terms of a trade.
smoky fable
They have some pieces on that roster

Who knows, but passing on a QB this year in the draft, now only for Lock to not be the starter week 1 it’ll be interesting to see what they do

I wouldn't even say the OBJ trade was that good because at the end of the day, they reached for a Fitzpatrick like QB in 2019 draft and he had little to no options to throw to. I believe the Giants were near the bottom of the league in total yards per game and 9 games where they scored less than 20 points.
honest umbra
they have made the SB and had a winning record every year since moving to LA
not afraid to make big moves

2019 6th overall pick was their own, nothing to do w OBJ trade. They picked Dexter Lawrence w the CLE pick that year
I’ll give you the reach though
dim kettle

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. You're getting a QB high and you have an OBJ there before trading him. Why would you put Jones in such a terrible spot? That whole offense was OBJ and Barkley. And you took that away.
I'll say this about Barkey though. If one player that isn't a starting QB get's injured and your offense dips so much; then you have more bigger noticeable issues.
robust grotto
Shrug emoji, I’m not saying you’re wrong but it’s not those two guys won them games either… funny how it was the defense that blew back then and now it’s the offense. I get the trade because they wanted to change the team on both sides of ball. Hence Peppers, Zietler ( didn’t work )
Ultimately though gettlemans hands were a bit tied on the trade. Mara hated the player, he wasn’t going to be around
If the deal isn’t enough, I get it, but the trade was always gonna happen
dim kettle
Even with the Giants defense being pretty good last year. In today's NFL, you're winning with offense. Defense is nice to have but that shit doesn't matter if your offense stinks.
robust grotto
Definitely
but you gotta remember that at the time the defense was losing them games and they were coming off rookie sensation Barkley
dim kettle
Maybe next year's draft, the Giants will draft hands for Evan Engram.
robust grotto
I can’t believe he’s still around lmao
they just love him it’s actually impressive how he manages to stick around
Gettleman def has issues with drafting though. His one positive, imo, is free agency ( but that can quickly backfire w Golloday )

I feel like that was a Pat Shurmur problem though. The dude coached for the Browns before, he was fucked before putting the Giants merch on. But a lot of their problems started before Dave with Jerry Reese. Because that offense was nothing except OBJ and the zombie remains of Eli before Dave got there.
robust grotto
He was an awful, awful coach it’s not even funny how bad he was
Yeah definitely I can’t argue that. The team was on the wrong path for a while.
His GM record w NY is 15-33 lol
He’s cooked after this season cause let’s be honest they won’t make the playoffs
dim kettle
The Giants have problems all around. But, Dave has shown no signs of being the guy on top for long. I think a GM should be fired alone for not drafting the right guy at QB. Unless you're like Jason Licht who just happened to pull Tom Brady out of his ass.
robust grotto
If they couldn’t make the playoffs LAST YEAR, it’s over this season
that’s a little harsh for my taste but you’re nothing without a QB and drafting a bad QB with a high pick can set back a franchise for years so I get it
Also my NFL knowledge is average, you def know more than I do
dim kettle
Especially for Dave who picked a dude with just 3000 yards, 11 TDs and 16 INTs in his second year. Like, that shit shouldn't fly.
The only thing that dude is good for is giving Bucs fan like myself heart attacks. Because he's God against us for some reason.
robust grotto
I really don’t think Jones is bottom five or anything
This is the year though, I guess we’ll find out the hard way
dim kettle
He's a good Fitzpatrick like QB. But, Jones was drafted with a top 10 pick. That's always gonna be with him.
robust grotto
I guess but that’s not his fault lmao
dim kettle
Even if Jones happens to get 4000 yards and throws 23 TDs and 12 picks. That's not good enough for the draft capital given to him.
QBs drafted high in today's NFL should be able to do more than that.
robust grotto
How do you feel about Jameis
dim kettle
Jameis was elite if he didn't turn the ball over. And I was a big Jameis defender for years.
robust grotto
Would you take him over Jones rn to be your starter
dim kettle
I rather have Famous Jameis craziness over an average QB.
Like, before we drafted Jameis, Glennon was our starter and that got us only 2 wins.
dim kettle
This is why I'm very concerned with Trask because Bruce compared him to Brad Johnson. And that's like, great, the ultimate QB of okayness.
dim kettle
Is he still in the league, Glennon
He's with the Giants.

LMAO that’s awesome
I think Colt McCoy is the backup too??
it’s hard for me to keep up w that, can’t lie

The Yanks are playing good but the Rays have the easier schedule in theory than the Yanks rn
robust grotto
Yanks blew up yeah, honestly that’s true. They finally realized they should get lefty bats since their home is the shortest right field in the league …
dim kettle
People are saying the Gallo and Rizzo trades are a big reason. No, it's not, it's because the bats decided to show up. Also helps when you're facing the Royals and Angels.
dim kettle
You mean a Braves team that's basically injured all around and a free falling A's team?
robust grotto
Their bullpen has been good all year too, minus Chap
honest umbra
they had won 10 straight
before playing the yanks
so idk if injury is an excuse lol
their collective starter ERA is like 2 in the span of 20 games as well
yankees are playing contender baseball
absolutely destroyed the red sox too
seems nitpicky to only bring up royals and angels who honestly also play teams tough, royals rake the astros
dim kettle
they had won 10 straight
Because beating mediocre Cards team, a blown up Nats team, a struggling Marlins team and the O's really impresses many baseball fans.

are no wins worth anything?
have rays played all contenders in the last month?
ignoring they beat the white sox as well
dim kettle
No, I'm saying it helps. Good teams beat the mediocre to bad teams. In my eyes, Atlanta is not a contender this year. So the Yanks beating the Braves does not impress me at all.
Them beating the White Sox however was good.

They haven’t lost since the field of dreams game yeah?
honest umbra
yanks have beat every good/bad team they have played in the last month and a half or so in a series
its definitely not a fluke
dim kettle
It's not a fluke. Good teams handle the bad to mediocre teams.
Saying, it helps the Yanks that they are facing the mediocre teams now.
Gives them momentum

robust grotto
Trust me my friend
dim kettle
I mean, here's the Yanks September Schedule. Do you really think the majority of these teams they're facing are real threats, expect maybe the Sox and Jays? At this point, I think Yank fans are more worried about how they do in the playoffs than rn regardless.
honest umbra
yea but they played the same teams earlier in the year
not like they have cheaped out
robust grotto
I called the Mets losing streak even as you guys were pointing out that Dodgers/Giants run! They had that division run against Miami, Washington, and Philly right before LA flew in
The most Mets season has been taking place. “Good” in the first half. Stumble a bit into the ASG and then it’s GG until the final few series where they look decent so you have a bit of hope for that next season. Beating the Yankees in a series would be typical, I can feel it lol
dim kettle
yea but they played the same teams earlier in the year
Yeah, but it's all about context. The Yanks faced the Indians before that team blew up. The O's didn't look as bad as they do now, and the Yanks beat the crap of the Rangers the last time they faced them. Teams can change a lot in just a few months in baseball. But again, regardless, at this point what matters is what the Yanks do in October.
Because I can tell you, I think my Rays are overrated this year and the only way they're proving me wrong is the same as the Yanks. Win in October.
