Bill doesn't start rookies, but maybe by season's end? He will start Jones.
It really doesn't take much to look better than Cam.
Giants preseason game last night was giving opponent's "film".
Josh gave Cam 5 or 6 impossible pass plays (look at highlights) and then sat him down. That show was for the opposing defensive coordinators.
Regardless of conspiracy theories, Cam is not an effective passer and will have to work hard to disprove that claim.
Every game Jones doesn't play is a gift as far as Bill is concerned:
#1 Flores- Miami
#2 Saleh - Jets
#3 Sean - Saints
These head coaches Know just how to deconstruct a rookie QB...it's their job.
On the topic of Mac...He is a shortish pocket passer. He has to get the ball out as linemen's hands get closer. As he is a rookie, it is difficult to get the ball out quick enough to avoid a 300 pounder landing on you 8 or 9 times a game.
As above? Mac is better than Cam in many ways, but Cam is 6'5" and 245 lbs and can move around a little.
If the team hadn't spent so much on free agents? I'd say this is a tank.
Like most fans I prefer Mac over Cam as he has to get his minutes in eventually, but, if Cam stays healthy, the Patriots will win a lot of ugly games with tough D, excellent game management and a three headed beast of a running game. They have three legit starting RB's plus whoever else hangs on from the rooks.
Lot of 19 to 17 games methinks.
