NO QB would give NE a shot at #1. But either Cam, Dalton or Winston would be fine with Cam probably having the highest upside. [Reply]
Smart move. Cam can give Bill what Lamar gives the Ravens. We know they like to run the ball and play defense. This can expand their offense and use Cam’s athleticism to improve their offense. [Reply]

Their coach is too good for them to ever be in the Trevor sweepstakes involuntarily. However, before signing Cam it looked as if they were considering just full-on tanking on purpose. [Reply]
Denver/McDaniel beat a prime Steeler team with Tebow, they’ll get the best outta Cam if his body/brain isn’t toast... but that sure as hell doesn’t mean they’re gonna take us down
Spags knows what to do with running QB’s, just ask Lamar Jackson [Reply]
Interested to see what a motivated Cam Newton will do this season on the Patriots. Honestly I'd be surprised if he doesn't beat out Stidham eventually during the season but I still don't foresee the Patriots being a threat until they improve the talent on their roster. I can't see Cam Newton elevating that offense like Brady did with underwhelming weapons. [Reply]

You are assuming Cam is motivated. Only motivation Cam has is for himself and Bellichek will weed this out in a hurry because in order to elevate an offense that lacks playmakers you MUST work at being a student of the game. Cam ain't gonna work I assure you. From Day 1 BB will be all up in this guy's ass to see if he has any hope of taking this guy's game to the next level I assure you. [Reply]
Let's not underestimate Belichick's ability to make the cold, hard, calculated decision.
If they don't have a chance to win big this year, there's no doubt in my mind he'd gladly tank the season on purpose to get the #1 pick, if possible. [Reply]
Let's remember that they have a complex offense that requires the QB to actually use his brain, not just run plays. Cam has never shown he is a student of the game. They will start very slow if he even starts. [Reply]
