Sadly the perfect fit for him. His shoulder will be fine when he's never asked to throw the ball more than 10 yards.

If this year can't get any weirder, I'll have to have a soft spot for Cam and Patriots.
Sorry but my hate of the Patriots is stronger than my admiration for Cam, so feck Cam.
Imagine being Stidham and having throwing practice next to this giant former MVP.
Hope he is getting paid though. Pats need him more than he needs them.
He isn't.
Not true, I'd say they both need each other. But if anything, it's the other way around as evidenced by the lack of interest from other teams. Not convinced Cam's healthy either.
Are people letting their game pass sub autorenew? Or cancelling to see how things unfold?
It's kind of a win-win situation for the Pats, if he is good they have a relatively young QB and don't have to rebuild through the draft and if they are terrible they are in the run for Trevor Lawrence.
No way Pats finish dead last which is what it’d take to get Lawrence.. The Lawrence sweepstakes will be between the Redskins, Jags, Panthers, Giants and Jets. Leaving out Cincy since they’ll stick with Burrow regardless if they finish last.
In my opinion their offense and skills positions are subpar enough to make it possible. It's also worth remembering that they had the easiest schedule in the league, the 31th DVOA variance in league meaning that they weren't consistent and that they relied heavily on interceptions and pick 6 which is generally not repeatable. The only reason for optimism and it's a big one would be Belichick.
I’m getting more nervous by the day, but there is so much money involved I think it will go through in some fashion. Also, local governance (outside of California) will bend over backwards to get this going...politicians will be wanting a ‘Roman Colosseum’ effect to keep the masses occupied.
Does game pass allow you to watch every game (in the states we call it Sunday Ticket and it's only available on DirecTV)? Or does it just allow you to watch RedZone? I get RedZone as part of my cable package so it doesn't really affect me, but surely if there's no season you'll get some sort of credit/refund?
Could you imagine the uproar if a Belichick coached team finished in last?

It depends, if it's a proper tanking operation, which I will admit I don't see happening, people may label it as a master plan if they end up with Lawrence or Fields just a year after Brady left.
The draft will likely be 3 deep at the top for QBs. The Pats could fall within range to nab one given that several other teams that might be at the bottom already have their QB of the future.
Yea I very much doubt they'll be cancelling it to be fair.
Every game is live on there aside from the ones Sky Sports are showing as they have exclusive rights to those games.
RedZone is also on there even though it's on Sky too.
Not sure if this is the right thread, but saw this doc tonight on ESPN called Born To Play about a professional women's football team in Boston. Fecking fascinating. I generally dislike the term "for the love of the game" because it's rarely ever true, but in this case it really is. Check it out if you get a chance.
People tend to overreact with the Pats. Their Josh Gordon and AB signings were both met with the usual "they can't keep getting away with this!" reaction, but neither panned out. The same will probably happen with Cam, and they'll probably land about around 12-15th in the draft.
I haven't posted on here in years so I don't know, but is there enough interest on here for a redcafe fantasy league?
We had one for a few years but then @Eboue formed a dynasty league with a cash buy-in and draft system etc which I think most people will be focusing on.
I didn't have the time for that when it was being set up so I'd be up for a "normal" one if you're setting up a league.

It just occurred to me that while Steve Kerr isn't Belichick, he is style a highly rated NBA head coach and the Warriors being terrible this season hasn't really impacted his reputation. On the other hand, Popovich who is a better comparison to Belichick has managed to make a subpar Spurs rosters passable, their highly rated defense fell appart though.
Oh sweet. I'll start a thread maybe a month from now, ideally with the draft a couple weeks before season starts.
Going through a twitter thread of random interesting sports stats, I found some interesting ones. Here’s two in the form of trivia; the second one I wouldn’t have been able to guess right away.
- This WR, despite playing over a decade and having over 1,000 receptions, has more career tackles than drops.
- Jerry Rice had 93 receptions after turning 40. Name the only 2 other players aged 40+ to have caught a pass.
I feel like #2 is a trick question and they are gonna be QB's catching trick plays.
Is Brady one?
Is Brady one?
Yes, that is one of them.
I'm retiring 1/1
#1) Prolly someone who played a lotta special teams earlier in his career. Don’t think it’s him, but I’d guess some sure-handed possession WR like Wes Welker.
#2) One of them has to be a QB.
edit: damn you @Rado_N
Not Wes Walker. Correct era though.
Hines Ward? Or maybe Steve Smith, Anquan Boldin. Don’t remember either Smith or Boldin playing much special teams, but both were tough and seem like the type who wouldn’t mind making a tackle.
Negative. He was teammates with one of those people for a while.
I googled that one so not gonna say but that's wild.
Only person I can think of who would have been teammates with one of them is still playing, Larry Fitzgerald.
Ding ding ding! His hands are really that good.
Great player who's played with some shitty QBs so he's prolly had some decent chances at making tackles with all the picks they've thrown.
Brady and Favre?
Correctomundo.
Fitzgerald was my first thought on the catches/drops/tackles. Just had to be him because I cannot think of a single drop he had in his career and he had over a thousand receptions.
Nike has apparently stopped selling Washington merch on their online shop, because they refuse to change the teams name.
