In what some would consider a crucial week of training camp practices for Cam Newton, he won’t be taking any […]

A New Hope – Mac Jones
It has finally begun to set in that Mac Jones fell to the perfect team in the Patriots on draft night, just as I predicted in my mock draft. With what happened last year with Cam Newton, I think it is fair to say he has not earned the starting job just yet. Although he […]

Patriots Quarterback Room Is a Log Jam
It seems as though with each passing day, we see a new update about the Patriots’ quarterback room. It’s never any positivity or clarity either.
