MORSE: Thoughts on What Newton’s Return Means for the Patriots

Friday morning I was sleeping in only to be awoken by my wife with the Patriots’ nightmare scenario – they were re-signing Cam Newton.

What the heck was Bill Belichick doing?

We all saw the poor QB play of Cam Newton in the 2nd half of the season. His poor mechanics, decision making, inability to change the play when it was obvious it wasn’t going to work, which was Newton.

The Patriots seemingly did not like any of the available free-agent quarterbacks. I had seen this from various sources over the last week. The Patriots needed to have a QB in place in order to attract free agent WR’s.
