rangerous Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 imo as far as the jets are concerned this can be good. the biggest thing newton did was run well. the jets always seem to have issues with running qb's. but jones may be like brady and with good protection and a scheme that gets the ball out quickly he could be trouble. the patsies need another edelman and/or good te to make trouble.

munchmemory Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Even if Belidick wanted to start Jones, why just dump Cam for no compensation? He's on the last year of his contract. Just name Jones the starter and keep Cam on the bench in case the kid doesn't work out or gets hurt. This one is a complete head scratcher for me. Just beyond friggin' dumb.

JohnnyLV Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Jeff Smith might have won a roster spot in that last game. He showed versatility especially ability to run from Jet action which will be a staple of our offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping Mac Jones goes the way of Ryan Mallett Yep. The 2nd best QB Belichick has ever drafted/acquired is Jimmy Garoppolo. People need to ponder that carefully for a moment before assuming every QB Belichick covets is going to be awesome. The dude sucks at drafting. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And compared to our two backups (who really can't be evaluated as they've never thrown a ball in an NFL game), Cam is Johnny U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because we won't be competitive that it makes sense to roll with White/Morgan. If we were a contender, THAT would be the time to ensure the QB2 job is filled by someone capable of winning a few games if Wilson goes down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, his dual-threat ability could be valuable to a team that has a starter with a similar skill set. Second overall pick Zach Wilson doesn’t have an experienced backup behind him, and Newton could come in and immediately upgrade the room from experience and talent standpoints. Like Newton, Wilson is a phenomenal scrambler, so if the worst-case scenario occurred, the veteran QB could pop into the lineup without much adjustment to the play-calling.

Ajjets10 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 2 hours ago, Beerfish said: I agree with this one thing I will say about Cam Newton. His beef about not getting roughing calls was 100% correct. Just because you are a running QB does not mean the other team can hammer you late while in the pocket. For a few years it was ridiculous looking at plays not called on him and then seeing calls for roughing on brady if a breeze hit him. I agree ? on this. Cam was getting absolutely slaughtered. However in defense of the refs it's hard to look at a guy running down the field the same way as a guy who sits in the pocket. It's a fine line and we are only human, our unconscious bias can come to the forefront. Josh Allen gets treated the same as Cam. Mobile QBs to a degree bring it on themselves. Still when in the pocket and getting absolutely trainwrecked and not getting calls was BS(although I think roughing should only be for late hits and not hard hits that's not the rules) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones has the edge playing in an offense that has been established over 20 + years. True, though that offense didn't help Cam Newton, Jarrett Stidham, Brian Hoyer, Jacoby Brissett, Ryan Mallett, Kevin O'Connell, Kliff Kingsbury, Rohan Davey or Michael Bishop very much. Jimmy G and Matt Cassel were the only QB's not named Brady to perform decently in that system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
