That's why people don't like the brother because he speaks the truth now.

Is he a starting quarterback in the National Football League?

I think he is a starting quarterback in the National Football League, much like he said, What's the situation?

What's the circumstances, like, where we at?

What do I have around me?

Can I be better?

All of those sort of things.

He's not a backup yet.

He's not there yet.

He's 30 years old, 30 31 years old, 31 31 years old.

Yes, and and people will point to Oh, he used to be a farmer, M v P, to make it sound as though those was so many years ago.

He'll never get back to that farm.

He showed you flashes at times in New England despite not having any weapons around him.

He could still be good, and he also showed you flashes that he needs some work steel, and I'm okay with that.

But he is certainly a guy who could start in this league for some teams that are out there.

Given the circumstances.

Everybody act like he's just done in New England.

Bill Belichick hasn't said that until Bill says it.

I'm not even paying attention to it until Bill says, Well, you know, Cam did a good job for us, but we're gonna go in another direction.

What makes you think he's not going back to New England?

Well, you could make the same argument the other way, though.

Key.

I mean, Bill is posturing right.

You don't know what's gonna happen.

Free agency.

You don't know what happens if you can't get people that you want.

So you may.

You may need to keep Cam Newton right.

So absolutely.

My only thing is I think Cam has potential to be a starter, depending upon if it falls to the right.

Situation is going to need to be the right situation, and there's a there's a lot.

There's a lot of dominoes that need to fall before that situation actually reveals itself.

So if you just want to look at the numbers this year, though, yards that he's thrown for this year I mean, he's 24th in the NFL TVs this year.

He eight East 30 j.

Here's what I would say we all know he didn't have a great year, Understand?

I don't know who he was throwing two.

When's the last great year he's had?

Because we all know what the numbers look like.

Given the situations, This goes for everybody.

If you're in a bad situation and you don't have things around you, you're gonna look a certain way.

That's just how it is.

He was the last time.

He's had a great a good season, a great season.

Well, in 2018, he was bawling okay.

In 2018, he was bought in 2019.

He missed the entire year.

He played two games.

Eso in 2018.

If you want that answer, there you go.

Okay, And I mean, but a lot has transpired in two years.

Correct?

He got hurt.

He missed one year.

He got hurt.

Eso way.

One care for injury can.

Then this year.

Then this year he got off to a late start with a team and didn't have an off season, and they don't have any damn players.

I'm not saying that they didn't have any players and I'm not saying didn't get till they start not saying getting about a lot of different things, but you make it sound like he was so incredible.

How come everybody and go for him if he was so incredible?

Well, how come?

How come everything he was released?

Change.

He was released way too late to even get on.

It wasn't nothing but two teams that was left out there that needed quarterbacks.

So it was it.

So you think was released?

Way too late.

So okay.

You think every team's gonna jump on him this year?

It becomes available.

You think everything's gonna jump?

Every single team is gonna jump on because every single team doesn't need a quarterback.

Every team is not a whole lot of jobs available.

He will be in the mix somewhere for sure.

People aren't just you make it sound like I'm not making it sound like Nick Foles.

No, I think you're getting e.

I've never said that.

Cam Newton is Nick Foles, but you make it sound like you know your quarterback, man, you're getting sensitive with the subject.

E, You said only quarterbacks are sensitive trying to explain to You just said you understand he's not a journeymen quarterback.

He's He's not a journeyman quarterback.

So if he's if he's not with the Patriots next year, you're saying he's gonna be the next team for the rest of his career.

You don't know that.

You don't know that.

A journeymen quarterback, he is not at that level yet.

He's not.

You're not dealing with a Brian Fitzpatrick type player that's gonna go from team to team to team.

The man just said it itself.

What?

It ain't there.

You could say it a lot of things myself.

It doesn't mean that's actually what's happening in reality.

Keyshawn J.

You just like the rest of them.

You look at this year, you say I can't play football I didn't say that.

I didn't say that.

I said It's gonna take the right scenario.

And sometimes the right scenario doesn't really.

But sometimes the right scenario key doesn't reveal itself all the time.

It doesn't always reveal itself, depending upon who gets hired at the right time.

What, what GM or what?

Which is what they know.

That I just said that prior to you, said what you said.

I said, in the right situations, in circumstances, he is a starting quarterback in the National Football League, released by the Panthers in March, signed with the Pats in July and two Keys point.

If you have a young rookie quarterback or if Newton were, have actually had a break out season, you gotta wonder if you've got a young Q B bring him into the mix.

So it really cuts down the number of teams that would be interested in Newton.
