Is Cam Newton the ‘Victim’ in Bill Belichick’s Faltering New England Patriots?
Follow Us
The 2020 NFL season was always going to be one of Bill Belichick’s toughest seasons as coach of the New England Patriots. The departure of Tom Brady and the subsequent arrival of Cam Newton in Boston signaled the start of a new era for the six-time Super Bowl champions.
The 2015 NFL MVP award winner started his Patriots career with a promising win over the Miami Dolphins. However, the former Carolina Panthers man has led the Patriots to just one more win from their last five outings in the league. Bill Belichick’s boys are on a 2-4 record heading into Week Eight.
They need wins, and they need it now. However, is it accurate to blame Newton for the epic demise of the Patriots this season?

He said, “Cam Newton becomes a victim of being around a crowd that doesn’t qualify to be around him. But he needed the opportunity. I understand that, Acho. So I’m not mad at Cam Newton for taking this opportunity because beggars can’t be choosers. Cam Newton is the only reason the Patriots are showing any signs of life this season.”
