The New England Patriots are reportedly set on having an open competition at training camp between Cam Newton and Mac Jones for the starting job.
Could that just be a smokescreen planted by Bill Belichick?
Perhaps, but that idea doesn’t necessarily align with the rave reviews Jones has received thus far.
According to reports, Jones was the superior quarterback to Newton during OTAs and mandatory minicamp before the former MVP returned from a hand injury and balled out in the last practice before summer break.
