The most unpopular quarterback competition, three guys with huge chips on their shoulders.

Bill Belichick finally spoke to the media and one of the things he mentioned was that the starting quarterback spot will be earned and that there was a competition. Belichick has always been a what have you done lately mindset, so Cam's history in Carolina should mean nothing, right?

Nate Burleson, like many outside the Patriots organization agreed with and believes Belichick. While fans disbelieve and are flat out calling Belichick a liar, Members of the Patriots roster are also believing it and are excited for the competition. David Andrews spoke about it recently.

"I think it’s going to be an exciting year for us, I’m excited. Especially with the guys and the talent we have in that (quarterback) room. Cam obviously has played a lot of football and had a successful career. I’m just excited to see what all of our quarterbacks can do. They all bring something different to the table. I think it’s just going to make for a fun year for us," Andrews said.

While Newton and Stidham share some similarities in abilities, All three quarterbacks bring something different. I'm not gonna include Lewerke who should make the practice squad. All three should also have massive chips on their shoulders from the sheer disrespect they all have received this offseason. 

Danny Jaillet wrote, "Burleson also made note of the fact that Stidham knows the system and playbook and is ready for his chance."

Stidham beat out Hoyer last year and got a lot of time to study behind or at least long side Brady and work with the offense. It appears from sources that he never stopped and continued into this off season.

Hoyer knows the system and playbook. He's a very intelligent game manager who played for the Colts last year. He was brought in with a chance to compete. He is going to play lights out, as he may have been lied to about the competition.

Then there's Cam. Cam said he felt disrespected having to wait three months for one of thirty two teams to sign him. Newton is a former League MVP coming off injury. He's coming in late but if one believes conspiracy theories, Newton has had the Patriots' playbook since he was released.

Whether it's calling them a bum and saying the next guy is guaranteed the starter. Saying the team is tanking for Trevor because they're the starter, or the fan base just not wanting them to play, all of these quarterbacks have legitimate reasons to feel disrespected.

Majority of the fan base doesn't want a competition. They just want Cam who they now believe is the GOAT to be handed the Job, with a nice pink bow. This is an unpopular competition. All eyes and ears are going to be on Gillette as we wait to hear any bit of news about the Patriots quarterback situation from now until week one September 13th.
