Everyone knows the Patriots are having a quarterback competition and everyone has an opinion on who should start. Brady Quinn of CBS weighted in on the competition saying,
“He’s the guy, there’s no doubt about it,” Quinn said Tuesday on CBS Sports HQ. “In part because Jarrett Stidham is dealing with a little bit of an injury, but that’s just a portion of it. I think he gives them the best chance of winning the AFC East. I think Bill Belichick wants to prove to a lot of people they can win without Tom Brady. If you look at his skillset, if you look at the fact that he can be a great scheme fit for this offense and Josh McDaniels their play caller -- it makes a lot of sense."
So far what we have heard out of camp from several people including Brian Hoyer and Evan Lazar is that it is Tom Brady's offense doctored up. That is exact what I predicted, the offense would be 2/3s if Brady's with some air raid plays pulled from the back of the book for Cam and Stidham.
Mike Giardi and a few others have said that none of the quarterbacks have looked good and that Cam hasn't pulled away. That he has been inconsistent and inaccurate, that the only reason he pulled a head of Stidham was due to injury but let's continue with Quinn.
“When you look at their roster, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t implement some of the same running schemes that we saw from him at times in Carolina with the New England Patriots. They don’t have a fullback on the roster, but they did draft Dalton Keane as a tight end/hybrid player. Maybe he could play some of that role. They have a large stable of running backs and the reason being is that I think they’re going to use them in the passing game, but also two running back sets with Cam Newton as well.”
Here is where Quinn reveals he doesn't know anything about the Patriots and is talking out his a**. The Patriots have Jakob Johnson on the roster, Johnson is a fullback. Had Quinn even bothered to look at the roster, he would've known that.
Everyone and their mother expects to see aspects of the Panthers' offense installed for Cam and Keene can play the H-Back position which is just a fancy way of saying tight end playing fullback.
Quinn continues, “I just think he brings from a schematic standpoint so many more issues for opponents. Bill Belichick knows that. There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s the guy, and I think that he’s going to have a really good season.”
Quinn isn't saying anything that fan's don't already know. He's just reaching for his 15 minutes because his career in the NFL was cut short due to poor play. NFL analysts have predicted that Cam will either flop and be a 7-9 quarterback or a division winning comeback player of the year, so nothing of worth from Quinn.
