New England Patriots: Cam Newton critics chew on this indisputable fact
The New England Patriots are fortunate to have Cam Newton back
Some media commentators cast aside certain facts, and cherry-pick their preferred statistics to obscure the true reason for the Patriots’ poor offensive performance in 2020.
What these commentaries represent is an attempt to disparage Newton, for whatever reason. They downplay the performance of the former NFL MVP who did absolutely everything he could to rescue a moribund New England Patriots offense in 2020.
He ran and scored more touchdowns than any of his teammates. 12 touchdowns himself. He threw accurately to a bevy of poor targets. Newton put himself physically on the line all season long.
He had to scramble for his life too many times behind a porous offensive line that too often left him on his own with little time to throw to receivers who were seldom open. And he led by example and leadership and never put any blame on anyone, except perhaps himself.
That’s the real story of Cam Newton and the New England Patriots offense in 2020. And if you don’t believe this writer, deign to ask Bill Belichick.

Ask him why he signed two new receivers and brought in two top tight ends in free agency, all for big money, while simultaneously bringing back Cam Newton to run his offense again this season?
With his offseason moves on offense (and they are likely not finished yet), the GOAT of all coaches seems to agree that it wasn’t Cam Newton who was the issue on offense at all. Makes perfect sense.
