Not a coincidence that the lack of preseason and live contact during camp is creating more injuries. Can’t lift 300 pounds without warmup sets. Same concept. Feel bad for these injured players all across the NFL. 

Crazy I was thinking the same analogy earlier today. I wouldn't put 225 on the bar without warming up first.

Then why did they sign Kyle Allen 2.0+ to a $60+ million contract?

1) 20 mil/year is not a ton of money for a starter. quite the opposite.

2) they can dump him after next year pretty easily.

3) they wanted a QB they thought could execute the offense to put a system in place that could be here for 2-3 years, or longer if it worked out.  they didn't think Cam could do that for whatever reason.

Cam wouldn’t look like this here y’all.

as much as it sucks he needed to go to save his career. This was the absolute BEST situation Cam could be in to come back from surgery.

also it’s scary to think the Patriots had a bunch of starters opt out this season.

Sadly, I think this is fairly true.

I hope you aren't saying Blair's injury was due to lack of preseason. KJ Wright came in late and annihilated his knee. That was just a guy trying to get a cheap hit in and didn't realize he was going to take out his teammates knee.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
