Now, this isn’t a total shock. It is Newton we are talking about here. He’s a former MVP that has made it to the Super Bowl before. He should be the starter.

Jarrett Stidham isn’t ready to take over yet. He is still a young quarterback who has a lot to learn before coming a starter. He showed that with his performance in Training Camp. Stidham was throwing interceptions left and right.
The right option is starting Newton. He is a capable leader who has the skills to lead New England to the promised land.
Newton is such a dynamic quarterback. He has an arm capable of stretching defense’s thin with the deep ball while also being able to break free for a long run.
Ever since Newton entered New England, he had the confidence of a starter. Teammates, coaches, and many others talked about the energy he brought to the team.
Newton brought hope to New England. With Stidham you thought that the team would make the playoffs at best. Now the possibilities seem endless for New England. If Newton plays like he did in Carolina, the Patriots could even make it to the Super Bowl.
So 2020 should be an exciting season for Patriots fans. What had all the makings of a rebuild after Brady left has now become just another season for New England. They are expected to win the AFC East once again.
So naming Newton starter is the right decision. It’s the best move for the team and ensures they will be successful now and in the future.
