Patriots: So what will the Patriots quarterback competition look like? Here’s some insight

August 3, 2020

Bill Belichick said in his press conference with the media on Friday that Cam Newton, Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer will compete for the starting quarterback job in camp. Of course we haven’t had a “quarterback competition” around these parts since 1993 when rookie Drew Bledsoe competed against Scott Zolak for the starting job in Bill Parcells first year.

Patriots: A reduced pre-season hurts the Patriots quarterbacks more than you think

July 6, 2020

With the NFL announcing last week that they are reducing the number of pre-season games from four games to two, I couldn’t help but wonder what that will do to the development of Jarrett Stidham and the indoctrination of Cam Newton into the Patriots system. On the surface, it is easy to applaud the move to go to two pre-season games but there will be ramifications. It will impact quarterbacks…

Patriots: Patriots shock the NFL by signing Cam Newton

June 28, 2020

Just when you thought the Patriots were going into 2020 with Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer as their starting quarterbacks, Bill Belichick reminded us that he is one of the shrewdest executives in the NFL by signing free agent quarterback Cam Newton to an incentive laden one year deal. Speculation had been rampant all off season that the Patriots quietly had an interest in Newton and that they were monitoring…

Patriots: I want Cam Newton to be a Patriot in 2020

April 10, 2020

By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06/@newftbj Cam Newton should be a New England Patriot if and when the 2020 NFL season kicks off. That’s right, I want “Superman” to take over for Brady and mentor Stidham. Before anyone jumps down my throat about the money, I know the Pats probably can’t afford him, but what if Bill decided to try? I also acknowledge that Cam’s personality – which if we’re being fair…
