This annoys me. Cam Newton had a dropped pick 6 versus Seattle but they're gonna say "we're gonna pretend like we know Cam won't throw the pick six versus KC." There is no pretending. He showed he's very capable of doing it versus Seattle.
Also, Newton struggled to put 7 on the board the first half versus the Raiders. He did lead them to 13 points that half in 5 drives but he also threw an Interception, that half. Week three the Patriots sucked on both third downs and in the red zone.
Newton's offense also struggled to put points on the board versus Miami. Then when clutch time came versus Seattle. He was stuffed at the one yard line and said he would've ran the same play, the same way. Admitting he learned nothing from the play.
I don't normally say this but Nick Wright was right. If Newton played, the Chiefs would've played differently. Better or worse. Hoyer and Edelman made mistakes inexcusable for veterans.
Saying Cam would've won this game if he played is no different than saying Stidham would've of, if Edelman doesn't drop the ball into the hands of the honey badger. It's speculative and cannot be proven.
If Cam starts, maybe the Chiefs do or maybe they don't change their game plan. If Edelman doesn't cause a pick six, maybe Stidham leads the Patriots back and doesn't throw that second Interception because he doesn't need to take the risk.
What can we prove, what do we know? Cam has thrown an Interception each of his last two games. He's had a least 1 drop that was a clear pick six over his last two games. The Point is Newton has made mistakes and the offense has yet to look like a well oiled machine under Newton. Instead, it looks like a slow clunky old tractor that stalls out on occasion.
