...why?
This is a strange season from Bill. I don't understand his undying loyalty to Cam.
I think as well he waited to see how this would pan out and he might be loathe to put in Stid now with poor receivers and no real TEs. He might be thinking just get to the offseason, draft and FA, build it up again and give Stid the full TC to step forward.Best guess based on Bill's thinking in the past is that he thinks Cam is the best QB on the roster at this point.
I meant to add the qualifier, for what Bill is doing. Sorry about that.I think as well he waited to see how this would pan out and he might be loathe to put in Stid now with poor receivers and no real TEs.

The chances that Cam will be coming back are very low now, I can't see Bill thinking he's the answer based on what we've seen.
Now who knows, maybe Bill thinks Cam with a full off season, a full TC will come good. But there's something off with Cam's throwing mechanics and reads in the pocket.
This is what I think. Give Stidham the chance to start the season as the guy. Or, if I am totally off base about Stidham (whihc I doubt), a chance to draft another QB high.At this point I think he realizes how putrid the offense is and won't take a chance on ruining Stidham's confidence ...
If i remember right, Derek Anderson had a bunch batted down and he is tall also. probably a low release point, trying to change a vereran qb's mechanics is usually a tough go.I don't even know if this is a stat but if it is, Newton has to be leading the league in batted balls. I have never seen a QB as tall as him have such a knack for getting this passes knocked down at the line.
Point 2. Not that I think Stid is necessarily ready but I have never seen a team with such bad QB play from a vet not go with the young draft pick to see what they have.Why is Bill staying so tight to Cam? Two reasons in my mind:
1- Stid either isn't ready or won't ever be.
2- Cam set a precedent coming to the Pats for that price. The season is lost (no playoffs) so no discouraging other possible FA's from coming here.
If BB does this, then he deserves another season just like this one...I am fearful Cam will be extended next season because he will be cheap and has been a good solider this year.
