2745329, Pre Season NFL anyone? 8/21
Posted by spades, Sat Aug-21-21 10:55 PM
So my Bears got blown out by Turbisky and The Bills. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that.

But at least The fucking Packers lost.

How'd y'all teams do?
2745335, Fun fact of the day. The Ravens have won 19 straight preseason games.

Always good to see how dudes who are fighting for a roster spot perform in these games. Final cuts coming son.

L Jack hasn’t touched the field, I’m good with that. Looks like Huntley has won the back qb job over McSorley. Our defense is flying all over the field as usual.
2745385, Jameis looked good tonight. Taysom Hill, not so much.

2745386, love it. go Jameis.

2745387, it's gonna be surreal when he leads Saints into Tampa v Brady.
Posted by dillinjah, Mon Aug-23-21 08:15 PM
can't wait
2745388, Happy to see him making adjustments...

..It appears that Lasik served him well.

I hope he continues to improve.

2745393, Cam better get vaccinated
Posted by will_5198, Tue Aug-24-21 09:32 AM
He is letting Belichick's pet project Mac Jones get a week full of reps with the ones because of testing rules

He will definitely miss games at this rate
2745396, Yeah, IDK what he's thinking.
Posted by spades, Tue Aug-24-21 12:53 PM
This is a great opportunity for him to get some well deserved shine, and he's throwing it away behind the vaccine?

smh

2745604, can't nobody talk sense to him? he played himself. he looked sharp
Posted by poetx, Sun Aug-29-21 07:26 PM
in the first preseason game (well, the one i watched). and then he does this shit.

he was on another 1 yr rental contract and writing was clearly on the wall that he would have to overachieve to get (and keep) the job for the whole year and provide incentive for someone to rock with him next year.


peace & blessings,

2745397, If not for any of those reasons…
Posted by Dstl1, Tue Aug-24-21 12:56 PM
the fact that he’s already had COVID and returned to the field looking like a man wearing a 100lb weight vest that never threw a football, before.

Posted by ThaTruth, Mon Aug-30-21 11:35 AM

2745647, Patriots Released Cam.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/08/31/sports/patriots-release-cam-newton-name-mac-jones-starting-quarterback/

The Patriots released quarterback Cam Newton on Tuesday and rookie Mac Jones will be the starter, according to a league source.

Newton, who missed three days of practice last week because of COVID protocols, was the top quarterback throughout training camp and the Patriots’ three preseason games. Instead, the Patriots will go with Jones, who was drafted in the first round out of Alabama in April.

2745649, good I can go back to hating that shitbag organization
Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Aug-31-21 09:20 AM
2745650, Belichick is such an asshole......
Posted by blueeclipse, Tue Aug-31-21 09:24 AM
I'm so interested once he's done coaching what kind of stories are going to REALLY come out of that organization.
2745661, Cam was 100 percent released because he would not get
Posted by allStah, Tue Aug-31-21 10:01 AM
vaccinated, especially after he was put on Covid protocol quarantine last season
during the time the patriots were playing really well.

He was put in Covid protocol quarantine again this year, which interrupted his preseason. That meant he was good as gone.

If it were simply just going with Jones, he could have just made Jones the opening
day starter.

He is being blackballed.
2745699, as i predicted above he played himself. and prolly killed his career.
Posted by poetx, Tue Aug-31-21 02:50 PM
last year he was playing well, till covid. i think physically and mentally covid messed with him bad after that, as he was uncharacteristically bad.

had a second chance on a 1 yr contract.

didn't take precautions. got caught up in the protocols. gave the rookie a shot. and gave the org a reason. the math is mathing on that.

indy sports writers and fans are shitting on wentz because HE ain't vaxxed, and you can't have a starting NFL qb who can just fuckaround and be ineligible to play for 2 weeks because he was in proximity to someone who was positive. not if the league is playing playing this year. last year, anybody could have gotten hit, so it was a cost of doing business. this year, if you are in the minority of teams w/ a starting QB and there are stricter rules for unvaxxed players, that is a substantial strategic disadvantage.

on top of the vax shit, you have a now aging qb who was ran into the ground by the panthers idiotic staff (but with his own complicity), who has yet to demonstrate a healthy, post injury, above avg season. AND whose game tapes is full of him running schemes with power sweeps an shit? and whose last years at CAR were marred by trying to throw with a fucked up shoulder and a foot that couldn't plant? good luck finding anyone pulling the trigger on that as their backup QB.

Black QBs don't get much chance as backups on a good day.
