New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick stayed committed to Cam Newton as his starting quarterback immediately following his team’s demoralizing 24-3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.
Belichick stuck by his decision Friday morning and declared that he will not be addressing the topic again. The Patriots still are technically in the playoff hunt, and Belichick clearly believes Newton is New England’s best choice at the position. So, his decision to stick with Newton is an understandable one for now.
It’s reasonable to wonder if Belichick’s tune should change when and if the Patriots are eliminated from the postseason, however.
