Though the choice is obvious to anyone who has watched a New England Patriots practice over the last week and a half, head coach Bill Belichick still isn’t ready to name a starting quarterback.
Cam Newton should and appears to be the guy, but Belichick is making his Week 1 opponent, the Miami Dolphins, wait a little bit longer.
“I don’t know,” Belichick said Monday on a video conference call when asked if he’s close to naming a starting QB. “When we are ready to do it, we’ll do it.”
Newton received 23 snaps in Sunday’s final training camp practice open to the media.
