Newton is going to do really, really well in NE.

can't believe Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn still have a job
That guy is scary good at following the ball and playing physical. I almost agree with the folks who exaggerate and say that the Seahawks didn't give up enough for him!
Even with that depleted secondary (and despite my fellow Seahawks fans complaining, the DQ of Diggs was warranted) he really brought a different intensity to that group. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Shaquill Griffin is quite up to speed yet, though. Hopefully he can get things sorted because this is his season to ask for the big second contract and it sounds like he is thinking that he is going to be getting some "top 5 CB" money, which I hope the Seahawks don't fold to. He's serviceable, but he's not a top 5 guy........
I havta admit I was wrong last yr when he first played as a rookie in the pre-season. He seemed so small and overwhelmed in those first 3 games. But he gained confidence and soon showed his potential. Dude has a great arm and is very accurate and can scramble with the best of them. With his baseball background he is really good at sliding to avoid the BIG HIT.
What a pickup DeAndre Hopkins was and he just set a record!

We play the Falcons next and I expect a blowout. They're gonna be super pissed about that massive collapse to the Cowgirls. Our QB can only play 1 decent quarter a game, our defense looks lost out there, special teams is garbage. With the schedule getting tougher I fully expect us not to win another game until November.
But the kid is definitely on a roll!
As for QBs, it'll be interesting to see if Newton continues to work well with Belichick and also to see if Josh Allen continues his good start to the season. Also wondering how Prescott's year/contract will play out. He has put up pretty good numbers, and he's obviously a top 5-10 QB, but the telling thing about his season last year is that of the top 32 QBs in the league last year, only 4 of them had 0 4th quarter comebacks and 0 game winning drives. He was one of them.
Being in the same club as Case Keenum, Joe Flacco, and Andy Dalton isn't a good thing at this stage of their careers!
I'm sure that the Cowboys will back up the Brinks truck for him, but damn.......
I think he is just because he is so young and unpredictable.
Did not say he was the better QB as Wilson has been through it all and is very polished, him and Mahomes are at the top imo.
Bosa was confirmed ACL, out for season. He was the leader of that defense. He isnt replaceable.
Time to move on I guess, Might jump on the Chargers bandwagon, been a Herbert fan since his Oregon days, love that kid and what a game! Got the other Bosa brother there too.
How about that SoFi stadium? 5BILLION dollars!! Hell Cowboy stadium was 1.5, thats freaking crazy talk!
Im rambling, couple beers deep
I think everyone expected Newton to keep the ball, and he did. The Seahawks were fully sold out on him keeping the ball as well.
If they would have played with any thought that he would pass, he'd have probably gotten in.
I don't think that NE believed that Seattle's 3rd string free safety could beat his blocker and turn the play inside. I didn't really think that he could either, but I'm glad that he did!!!!!
Pit Row
what a fucking farce.
let's test these guys daily, then let them get into very close physical contact with one another, then fine the living shit out of them for not wearing a mask that is doing fuck-all on the sidelines.
unreal
All the injuries last Sunday sucked, decimated a good team.
I have been a Niner fan for over 50 years and was looking forward to this season and possibly a little redemption for last Super bowl
Red and Gold until I'm dead and cold!
Nobody is downplaying Newton’s talents or abilities in this discussion. Newton is an incredible athlete, and a huge guy at that position, but he isn’t superhuman.
I’m pretty sure that your friend’s son is absolutely correct that he was pretty unstoppable at the JC level. But the NFL has a lot more talented competitors than JC football does......
Nobody seems to remember or at least I haven’t read anywhere yet(I don’t seek out news on either team) - do you think the decision to call that particular play had something to do with - what SB was it - when Pete Carroll didn’t hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch - and instead decided to pass and lost the game to the Patriots on a pick? I’ll bet it did - Belichek probably goes over that moment in his head at least a couple times a week prior to playing against Carroll.
These situations are rehearsed ad nauseam in camp and in prep for a game (2 minute drill). Belichek plays the odds and knows his team and his opponent as well. To say - it was a dumb play call everybody knew what was coming - well yeah ok fine.
There’s no reason to get fancy - put it in the hands of your best guy and I don’t care if you know what’s coming. Something Carroll should have done. And something Belichek obviously will do.
Yes everybody knew Cam was going to try and run it in. Cam is still the man you want running the ball in this situation. And being a QB in the NFL and having plays for you to run the ball kind of makes him superhuman - at least at the QB position. He wasn’t sneaking it in - and it wasn’t a sweep. I’ll bet no other team has a play like that in their playbook - know why? Because they don’t have Cam Newton as their QB.
The play wasn’t a play designed for a “power” QB. When the Patriots executed the play as planned, Newton got into the end zone without getting touched. The last time, Seattle knew what was coming, made the proper corrections m, and stuffed the play. That was the only time of those plays that Newton was touched.
I’m a Newton fan, but I’m still trying to figure out what you are claiming that your acquaintance would have disagreed with.
