Rob Ninkovich: Mac Jones was helping Cam Newton learn the playbook

I have a hard time believing Bill would bring back a QB who couldn't learn his playbook after a year. He is gone becuase he is not vaccinated.

Yeah I find it highly suspect. That some knob from Boston even told Ninkovich such obvious nonsense makes me want to be an early ‘Mac Jones sucks’ guy.

In fact…you know what? Mac Jones sucks. He’s a bust. Will forever be a bust. Just another in a long line of Bama QBs who ride the coattails of literally everybody else on the team in college and then get overdrafted.

Sure you dont mean Ohio St ?

If true, that he did that it doesn't bode well for his future prospects. But he's already banked $3.5 million this season.

It wasn't because he's unvaccinated. Belichick has been critical of the vaccines as a catch all solution. Is it really difficult to believe that a guy who got kicked out of college for stealing laptops and impregnates strippers as a hobby is an idiot?

What in Bill's past makes you think he would keep a QB around who can not learn the playbook for another season? It is about vaccines and the punishment for not having them.

Didn't Cam suck last year and underwhelm during/preseason this year? With a first round QB breathing down his neck, this sounds like a nonstory.

“The reason that they released me was because indirectly, I was going to be a distraction without being the starter. … Just my aura. That’s my gift and my curse. When you bring a Cam Newton into your facility, when you bring a Cam Newton to your franchise, people are interested by mere factor of who is he. Why does he wear his hair, why does he talk, why does he act, why does he perform? All these questions. …

“So let me be honest with you. If they asked me, would I play behind — they say, ‘Cam, we’re going to give the team to Mac. You’re going to be the second string, and we expect you to be everything and some to guide him throughout this tenure.’ I would have said, ‘Absolutely.’ But listen, the truth of the matter is this: He would have been uncomfortable.”

Everyone accepts that pro athletes have to have some egos and a little arrogance, but damn Cam.

Cam back with Carolina.

With much bigger (guaranteed) money than I'd have expected if reports are true.
