Former NFL MVP Cam Newton has reached agreement on a one-year, incentive-laden deal with the New England Patriots, league sources tell @mortreport and me.
Newton now will step into the mix to try to help replace former Patriots’ QB Tom Brady.

I expect the Pats defense to be good still, but they aren’t as good on paper as they were last year and I don’t think that’s even debatable. Their best players on both sides of the ball are old. It’s not a very good roster and everybody was pretty much in agreement about this a week ago.
When they won 11 games with Cassel they had a much better roster. Randy Moss and prime Wes Welker aren’t walking through that door. Their defensive roster was better that year as well. They still didn’t even make the playoffs with those guys, so I don’t think it’s a very good example to point to them being the favorite to play us in the AFCCG after signing Newton.
OMGZ, you're right, they're fucking horrible! I mean, it's not like they had the exact same 12-4 record as your mighty Chiefs last season, with a better point differential. :-) Somehow they managed to score only around 30 points less than KC for the season, despite those awful WRs and a 24th-ranked QB. But, you're right, that top-ranked D is undebatably worse on paper because they lost Kyle "Start His Bust For Canton!" Van Noy...
I'm not saying the Pats are amazing. I'm not even saying they'll seriously pose a threat to KC. And I fully admit they probably backslide to 8-8 with Stidham at QB. Sure, Baltimore is still the favorite to play KC in the AFCCG. I mean, they went 14-2 last season... before shitting the bed. But, let's not forget, those Tennessee Titans took care of the #1 AND #3 seeds for you. So maybe Baltimore isn't such a shoo-in. [Reply]

Calls other people obtuse.
I never called Alex Smith an elite QB.
I can't believe you guys still bring him up. Move on already. Reid and Dorsey brought him here, not me. If you hate him so much why arent you mad at Reid for letting him stay here for 5-years?

Why would I lie? To gain popularity on a message board w a bunch of ppl who I mostly dont like and who mostly don't like me? Uhhhh no. I don't give a fuck what any of you think of me.
I said ANYBODY I didn't say 'Yeah staylor is an idiot' you didnt say it was a bad move so my post wasnt directed at you. Think... [Reply]

You need to go back and read my posts. I’ve already said the Pats will probably win the division. I’m not saying they suck or anything close to that. This started because somebody said that they’re now the favorites to play the Chiefs in the AFCCG. [Reply]

It's a product of how vociferously you defended "Smitty" during his entire time here.
Board memory is long. We wear our bad takes. I have some.

Deal with it.
I was definitely wrong about Smitty in a lot of ways but I was right in a lot of ways too. It is what it is. Ive moved on, I suggest you do the same. [Reply]

Can't say I remember your opinions at the time, specifically, but that was one of the longest, most heated debates this board has ever seen... on top of decades of frustration with the quarterback position.
He's in the distant past as far as I care, but that's one where if you were in the trenches for the duration, it's hard not to bring up as an example sometimes.
(at least for those of us who were right :-):-) ) [Reply]

You realize they won't forget right? History is told by the winning side and you weren't on it [Reply]

How were you and the Alex Smith haters on the winning side and I wasn't? Because Mahomes replaced him and. Chiefs won a SB?
I got news for you buddy. Mahomes he's not your every day better than average QB... That doesn't really prove much.
Like I said before Smitty was overrated by me for sure but he definitely isn't as bad you guys made him out to be. You guys were obsessed with blaming everything on him.
Also he was a great mentor for Mahomes as Mahomes and his Dad have said several times. [Reply]
