Cam Newton helping Patriots move on from ‘dour’ Tom Brady

Who said the Patriots would miss Tom Brady?

That may change once they actually play a game without one of the best quarterbacks of all time, but their honeymoon phase with Cam Newton appears to still be going strong as they enter the first week of the season.

“I think, honestly, it’s been a match made in heaven for me, just knowing that I’m at a place where everything is pulling in the same direction and everything is geared toward winning,” Newton said Monday on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show.”

Bill Belichick named Newton the Patriots’ starting quarterback last week, less than two months after the former MVP signed in New England for the minimum salary.
