It appears offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, like head coach Bill Belichick, believes that Cam Newton should continue to be the Patriots’ starting quarterback going forward.
“Cam’s certainly been the best option for us all year long, since he earned the opportunity in training camp,” McDaniels told reporters Friday.
McDaniels said he understands that when the offense struggles, the attention will often inevitably turn to the quarterback position. In his eyes, there’s a lot more that goes into the overall product than that, and he said QB play is dependent on many other areas.
