It’s time for the Patriots and Bill Belichick to find quarterback Cam Newton a competent tight end.
For as much conviction as Cam Newton has in the Patriots’ current collection of wide receivers, it doesn’t change the fact that they form one of the least dynamic corps in the NFL. When they struggle to create separation from defenders, he’s forced to check down to whomever is manning the backfield because there is no security blanket present in the form of a tight end.
