In 2019, I called Brady out for being inaccurate. I called McDaniels vanilla, that he peaked at OC and the league caught up to him. Now there are sports Analysts who will say The exact same thing I said about Both. I said Gronkowski was not worth a first round pick. That he was a shell of himself and should be traded to Tampa for a mid to late round pick. The Patriots got a fourth for Gronk. I got ridiculed for my takes.
I did my draft board mainly looking at people projected in rounds three though seven. Even some UDFAs. While the Patriots did not draft anyone off my board, this year and people laughed at my mock drafts, they did sign Nick Coe as a UDFA. Coe was on my board and survived the first round of cuts.
I did my research on Stidham, Hoyer, and Cam. I did not think the Patriots could afford Newton, or that they would gel. I expected a trade for Jacoby Brissett if anything. I stand behind my thoughts that before all the opting out, Hoyer was a good enough game manager to lead the Patriots to a Superbowl appearance.
I gave the Patriots a floor of 7 and 9, and an expectation of 10 and 6. I stand behind my statement that even with Cam, that hasn't changed. The only change is the ceiling goes from 11 and 5 to 14 and 2.
While Newton is the better runner, I like Stidham as a quarterback and believe he could be the starter come week one. While everyone is saying Belichick just hands out positions and that Newton's past was his earning of the job. I call BS and stand by my belief that if Cam makes mistakes he will be the back up.
That if Stidham looks better than Cam in practice, he will get the start. That Newton could possibly still get cut if he cannot win the spot to avoid conflict.
I stand by my takes on the Blue Jays that Vladimir Guerrero Jr needs to show more. That he needs to show he can be clutch and needs more development. That the Blue Jays cannot win if their runs continue to come in clumps while the pitching staff continuously makes it so they need to score 5 runs or more a game to win.
These opinions like many others I have are mine. I think outside the box and sometimes I occasionally stand firm in my opinions, when I should be flexible or let them go. I am not an expert, I didn't go to school for this. I am just a fan with an opinion who carried a C average in English 101, that occasionally produces too much content to make sure I write something of quality.
Like Ray over at DPN, I never expected to get paid to write. I just write to distract myself, get my opinion out and hope that people read them. To those that read my blogs, I thank you.
I also want to Thank Ray Rauth from DPN Sports Talk and Sportscastr news. With out Ray, I wouldn't be trying to submit quality, Ray has improved my writing and got me to voice my opinion on more subject matter. Thanks Ray.
