Why? You're making statements that are irrelevant to the majority of posters here who didn't want to draft Cam yet passing them off as if you can speak to the intentions of everyone who didn't want him... at least I'm in the group who didn't want him. Most of us didn't think he was going to steal laptops or hold out or poo.

I felt that we would have been a better team if we had used our draft picks in a different way and pursued a veteran free agent quarterback, because I didn't have confidence that Cam Newton was going to transition well in this situation because I knew if we drafted him he would be likely to start early, and I wasn't sure we'd have the team to support him since that would leave very large holes in other areas.

I don't think Luck has anything to do with this, he is a totally different player and wasn't even in the draft.

And why do u feel he wouldn't transition well outside of him missing OTA and full TC? I'm just curious.

I don't think you all get it.

I guess I don't get it. I've watched every snap Jimmy has ever taken in the NFL and I see no potential whatsoever. But about 5 posters here defend him no matter what. I can't tell if they actually think he's good(based on what?), if they hate Cam(why?), or if they just like taking contrarian views and having arguments on the internet. Whatever it is, I don't get it.

Jimmay should of never played last year, poor sack of poo is shell shocked.

He made poor decisions with pressure at ND....not as glaring in college bc when he bailed and showed poor instincts in the pocket....result wasnt as bad bc of college talent. Not a ne issue with him created last year

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
