Though New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton hasn’t had the best preseason, and Mac Jones has been dominating both on the field and in the locker room due to his quick mastery of the playbook, the expectation is that Newton will go into the season as the starter.

In a debate that could really go either way given Newton’s talent and Jones’ potential, leave it to the talk radio circuit to come up with the most dunderheaded take regarding this whole competition.
