Speaking of rumors:

Mariota draws interest from the Bears, Patriots​

Marcus Mariota was reportedly given an ultimatum by the Las Vegas Raiders to accept a $7 million pay cut or be released. Mariota reportedly is unlikely to agree to the pay cut because he “believes he has options,” an indication there are other teams interested in him.

Two teams who are interested are the Chicago Bears and the New England Patriots, according to a report.

The Patriots re-signed Cam Newton to a one-year deal worth up to $14 million. Newton struggled during his first season, and he was benched after poor performances during three games during the season. Newton posted a record of 7-8 during his starts and the Patriots finished with a 7-9 record in 2020, missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2008 season.

The Patriots could sign Mariota if he’s released and create competition for the QB1 spot. Mariota is viewed as a good fit for offensive coordinator’s Josh McDaniels’ offense and he was considered a favorite to start at quarterback for the Patriots in 2021 earlier during the offseason.

Anyone seen a link to the supposed "Rumors"?

Haha. Awesome. I knew this would draw some of the Michael Bishop crowd out of the woodwork.

Don't get me wrong, I really have no idea if Bishop was an even remotely decent QB. I just couldn't watch Bledsoe anymore. It was painful.

I never understood why they gave Bledsoe the contract they did before the 2001 season. I liked Bledsoe but also was tired of the schtick where everything was great, then it wasn't and Bledsoe would "accept responsibility" for the loss, then never changed how he approached anything.

Bledsoe should have been so much better.

Rumor has it...I was always a huge Bledsoe fan.
Then I was schooled a few years ago about how he would do exactly what BB didn't want him to do.
He did a lot to bring relevance to the Patriots, but it opened my eyes.

Maybe we need a "banter thread" put a sticky on it for when Patriots fans want to get pissy with each other.
It's kind of funny sometimes but some of you need to let it go after a decade or so of arguing about - Wait! WTF were we arguing about?????
Carry on.....

Here's the thing... It wasn't so march that he would do "exactly what BB didn't want"... It was like he was completely clueless and thought he was the starting "savior" rather than QB, then take it upon himself to make judgements and alter the plan.

Good, but not sure I believe it because usually BB is making the media vomit and not himself...

I do too. Especially the real dunking donut. The donut with the little handle so you could dunk the donut in your coffee. People today don't know that's where they gottheir name. Remember when they made Chocolate Powdered and Chocolate Sugared donuts? I'm dating myself....
