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.

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.

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. ------------------- http://twitter.com/Melanism

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.
