Massachusetts, EE.UU. /
There are only seven games in the era post Tom Brady and in New England they miss him every second because Cam Newton has not been remotely the quarterback they need and his mark of 2-5 is the worst in this century, with four consecutive defeats.
The question that many ask is And the genius Bill Belichick? The coach with whom they won the Super Bowl six times and that he is still in command of the team, but that he seems not to find the formula to revive some Patriots in zombie mode, although the head coach it has its arguments for present evil.
“Look, we paid Cam Newton 1 million dollars. By that, what I mean is that obviously We did not have moneyBut it is no one’s fault, “said the Monk.
“That is what we did in the last five years. We sold and won three Super Bowls, we played a quarter and we played an AFC championship. This year we had less to work withIt’s not an excuse, it’s just a fact. “
Patriots, with $ 28.5 million ‘dead’
The problems of Patriots have many aspects: the ineffectiveness of Cam Newton as a passer, an offensive line that little helps the running game and the key losses of defensive players since before the season voluntarily due to the pandemic, but to all that we must add the “lack of money”.
New England has $ 28.5 million in dead money for contracts, which is the seventh most in the NFL; to that we must add the Belichick’s failure to recruit talent in the Draft in recent years, where perhaps his last great successes were Dont’a Hightower and Chandler Jones, the first without playing this year due to the coronavirus and the second is not even in the team.
