  • Rex.

  • What are you seeing as you watch him?

  • Because that's a player you hated coaching again because he was so yeah.

  • I mean, I love Cam Newton, but this is not Cam Newton.

  • I mean, not the guy that we remember and and look, it was fool's Gold Week to We all saw that man.

  • He looks great.

  • No, Seattle gives up 500 yards a game.

  • What we're seeing now is a guy that has poor mechanics.

  • I know I don't know anything about quarterbacks, right?

  • Well, I know one thing.

  • You better bend your knees and your hips toe thio, get anything on the football.

  • He's short, short, hopping balls.

  • He's I mean, he's not accurate.

  • It's just awful.

  • And for three years now, I think I've been saying how awful the talent is.

  • There they I don't need next gen stats, even though they exist.

  • There's no separation so guys can't get open.

  • He can't throw.

  • He can hit him, even if they are open.

  • So this is a disaster right now in New England and R C.

  • Let's go back to that game against Seattle.

  • We were all raving about how good he looked.

  • What's happened since then.

  • You know, it's crazy.

  • It seems like Camas aged five years in the last five weeks.

  • And it's really just a strange thing I said that.

  • I said that day or that Monday morning.

  • We're on here.

  • We had Superman back.

  • We saw Cam throw the ball with velocity.

  • We saw him be able to be accurate down the field to Julian Edelman.

  • But we also saw him running the football.

  • And I said, This is the Cam Newton that Bill Belichick in the New England Patriots needed because they didn't have the players on the outside.

  • But we haven't seen that since.

  • We haven't seen this offense run at that high of a clip.

  • Maybe now we know it's because the Seattle Seahawks can't stop anyone, but Cam Newton needed to be better for this team.

  • This team also needed to be better for Cam Newton, and if they continue to play like this, we're going to see the New England Patriots end up in the place that we never expected them to be.

  • And we haven't seen them in two decades.

  • Cam Newton went here to revive his career.

  • If he keeps playing like this this'll be where it ends and, you know, again, I mentioned this briefly earlier.

  • A lot of conversation about Tom Brady without Bill and Bill Belichick without Brady, and you look at the weapons that he has on the field right now.

  • What did yesterday tell you about Brady looking the way he does and Cam looking the way he does in New England, how great Tom Brady still is.

  • I mean, with mostly the same offensive pieces in New England.

  • Tom Brady threw for 4000 yards in 24 touchdowns last year in 1 12 games.

  • And so that's the big difference.

  • Like here's the reality.

  • Tom Brady knew what the weakness was of the football team last year.

  • I specifically offensively, like Tom Brady, knew the weapons weren't good enough, so he had the one make sure the ball got out of his hands.

  • Just find a completion.

  • It didn't matter what, and never lose the game by silly turnovers.

  • That's been a huge part of what New England has done offensively this year.

  • Like the turnovers are.

  • I don't know where they sit statistically, but I bet you this is the most turnovers they've had in 15 years in New England this early in the season.

  • And I would say this for Cam in New England.

  • If you're not being efficient with the football is a passer and I'm not using you as a runner.

  • Why are you playing quarterback for me?

  • Like I think that's a fair question to ask right now in New England, if you're not running the football and I'm not gaining advantages because of that, and you're not being efficient because our our talent on the outside isn't good enough.

  • I got to go to someone else at the quarterback spot.

  • I'm running out of time, are seeing 30 seconds.

  • You made a great point today about Brady doing Thio.

  • Yeah, do it.

  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, period point blank.

  • Here's what happened.

  • Brady learned from the master.

  • Bill Belichick is the master of getting rid of you early rather than late.

  • Well, guess what?

  • Tom Brady dumped you this time.

  • Tom Brady knew this was coming.

  • He knew they didn't have enough.

  • So he left for greener pastures.

  • And what we are actually seeing is Tom Brady is a better GM.

  • Then Bill Belichick is.

  • Look, he got drunk.

  • He got Leonard for net.

  • He even has a be coming.

  • So Tom Brady may have been the reason, but he knew Bill.

  • We were on the down slide bill.

  • We were about to decrease our opportunities of winning Super Bowls.

  • So before you could get me, I'm gonna get you.

  • And look at Tom Brady now elevating himself into the M V P conversation and Bill Belichick in the New England Patriots talking about who they're going to draft in the draft cause they might have an early pick.
