Bill Belichick watching Lamar whoop his Pats and everyone else on Sunday turns to friend and says “Hold my beer and hand me the phone”

Re: Cam Newton to Pats
I watched that 2019 game last night. The simple fact that you have a QB who is a threat to run, changes everything. Read the DE (don't' block him) and whatever he does, it's wrong. Then double team the next level. It's so simple yet so difficult to defend because it's pure gap integrity.

Re: Cam Newton to Pats
They still don't have any weapons - is Matt LaCosse going to turn into Greg Olsen?

Re: Cam Newton to Pats
It could be up to $7.5 million with incentives. My guess is that the minimum contract is to cover NE in case he can't play at all, because there's no medical testing. I would imagine some of those incentives will be quite easy to hit and he'll get quite a bit more than minimum, if he's able to play most games.

Re: Cam Newton to Pats
To be fair, Cam never had the greatest set of weapons in Carolina, and Lamar doesn't have the greatest set of weapons here (before the objection, of course we have far better weapons than the Patriots have now with Cam, but beyond Lamar they're certainly not what you would expect from a historic offense) and both were able to amplify their offenses beyond what I think even an elite pocket passer could because of their threat to run and extend plays. I don't think the bet is that Cam makes the Patriots an elite offense; I think solidly average, with a strong running game and skilled in situational football, with that defense and the coaching of BB, is enough to make the team a super bowl contender. A healthy Cam, BB, and a top 5 defense is just not something you want to face in the playoffs, whether you're the Chiefs or the Ravens (both of which have far more talented rosters than this patriots team, even with Cam).

Re: Cam Newton to Pats
As some have mentioned, the issue will be Cam’s health.

Re: Cam Newton to Pats
The trio of Christian McCaffrey, Curtis Samuel, and DJ Moore is quietly one of the better trios in the NFL, albeit developing/rising quickly. The QB play and team in general was just so bad it's easy to overlook.
