When Cam Newton agreed to sign with the Patriots a few weeks ago, the thought was even though he has the edge over Jarrett Stidham, there would be a quarterback competition over the summer.
A few weeks later, that doesn't appear to be the case.
Former Patriots executive Mike Lombardi tweeted, "there is no doubt (Newton) will win the starting job."
And then NFL Media's Mike Giardi had similar thoughts when appearing on Ordway, Merloni & Fauria Thursday.
“I don't think it is a competition," he said.
