As for Kap if you'd want him here it wouldn't be from the football perspective. Remember he was a backup QB on the pretty shitty team by the time he began kneeling. He took the 49s to the SB only couple of years earlier and since then was sliding and sliding rapidly. And now with what 3-4 years out of the game? He'd be like Tebow, a lot of drama and hype and little use on the football field.
Also if you'd read the staff his teammates were saying about Kaepernick in 2014-2015 before he began kneeling in protest at the end of 2016 you'd get very little favorable feedback on his behavior in the locker room. The guy apparently had little or no friends on the team. I remember reading words like aloof, loner, attitude, etc.
Here is an article on Kaepernick from 2015 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/r...s-locker-room/.
Now he's a big time symbol for sure but in no way it's due to his play on the football field. By the time he began kneeling he was on the way out of the game already. By that point the 49s would've released him at the end of the season no matter what. When he began kneeling I looked at it primarily as a career lateral.
Kaepernick should do what he set himself up to do IMHO and go into politics. He should be successful there. I'm sure if he speaks he'd get a much larger live audience than Trump did, COVID or no COVID.

Maybe Newton is just there in a backup role and providing some veteran perspective for Jarrett. Certainly would not put it past Bill to do something like that.

Plus I personally never liked the guy. Too much of the show off and me me me. This is no Russell Wilson or Tannehill. To me Cam is everything that Tom wasn't. I don't know how Bill would be able to get along with such a flamboyant personality too. And injury prone to boot. I hope I'm wrong on all fronts but me no like.

Posts: 2942Cam to the Patriots!
I just got the news a few minutes ago as my phone ran out of juice. This is pretty good news as Jarrett is not ready. Cam is an MVP and has plenty of football experience. More to come later but, is anyone surprised by this?. Comments?

I've heard of the guy and he has a undying hate for the Patriots but this shit is downright creepy. His Name is EDP445. Jesus.

True Belichick runs the team with an iron hammer for a reason, to win. It's shown in his W / L ratio. He is basically Greg Pop of the Spurs NBA team in the NFL aspect. Both strict, hates the media, and trains their players very well.

As for former players of the Patriots, It's not that difficult to understand. Belichick was tough and demanded the absolute best out of his players. His style of coaching meant that the players would be on their toes and it sure as hell wouldn't be loosey-goosey, but they would win games and ultimately championships. Most players likely didn't like Belichick but had the utmost respect for him because they knew he was a master at his craft. Take into account how many football players went to the Patriots and left with a huge contract because they came from the super bowl winner. Jamie Collins did it twice. Everybody complains about the amount of work you have to do in New England. The amount of discipline, attention to detail, preparedness; If they were playing in Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, San Diego, Jacksonville, Washington, New York, etc. They would have had a much easier time. And no one would remember their name, let alone hire them for a record contract.

Posts: 2076Never thought it would play out this way (least I hoped not), kept my mouth shut & said lets wait & see.
With Brady leaving it broke the trinity & in light of the CBA passing leaving God Damn Goodell with final say, I'm done.
Not saying I won't watch football again but no longer will I plan things around football just to watch it.
Fuk'them, the players got what they deserved letting Goodell have that power.

FYI, FL is MJ allowed state. His family recently opened a few MJ business in the area so maybe that swayed him to move to FL and being with Brady def helps motivate the trade. But party life style in FL partying in MA is probably the reason he moved knowing his lifestyle.

Well. Kick my ass and call me bumpy. Part of me thinks it's a bit snakelike for Gronk to pull this stunt, but, it is a business so if you can get someone like OJ Howard for a retired guy that doesn't want to be here anyway, then go for it. I'm still a Patriot fan till I croak
