Cam Newton's Basement weapons are elevating him.

The Patriots passing game in 2020 has been abysmal. The Patriots have one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL and the worst they've had in over 25 years.

As a group the papers pass catchers are in the bottom eight. Patriots pass catchers are possession receivers, who cannot burn or separate.

Cam Newton is a bottom eight quarterback. Newton is a running quarterbac with an arm but no accuracy and bad decision-making.

Strangely enough believe it or not, this poor pass-catching unit is actually elevating Cam Newton's play. Let me explain.

Cam Newton is having one of his best pass completion years because his pass catchers can catch but he's not doing this past catchers any favors in return. Anyone who has watched Cam play has seen how bad his accuracy is. Newton puts the ball in such bad spots, that once his past catchers catch the ball , they have no room to do anything with it. 

Now one can nip pic and go through video to find good throws, like in the Seattle game and than dissect a play to make it look like Cam is good but as a body of work, there's going to be more tape inaccurate passes than not.

When the Patriots pass catchers do manage to get open, Newton for some reason fails to get the ball to them. N'keal Harry, Ryan Izzo, Dalton Keene, and many others of the Patriots pass catchers have been the victim of Cam Newton. 

How productive can a pass-catcher be if the quarterback isn't getting them the ball or when he does they have to do a bunch of extra to catch it?

There's an argument that Cam Newton would be better if New England got better pass catchers. Every quarterback would be better with better pass catchers but that doesn't make the quarterbacks any better. It just means the talent around them is capable of doing more. Of making the quarterback look above his pay grade.

Being that a bottom tier group of pass-catchers is elevating Cam, that means a Cam Newton isn't just a bottom passer. He is the bottom tier passer. In fact there are backup quarterbacks that are better passers than Cam Newton, meaning Newton should be holding a clip board.

With a group of below average pass catchers, 2017 to 24 range, Cam Newton would be lucky if he elevates to 24. Give Cam Newton an average group (15-18) and Newton would be lucky if you made it into the top 20. Thus to make Newton above average in theory, the Patriots would need a top 10 pass-catching unit. However is the NFL has shown up over the past 30 years, bad quarterbacks find a way a f****** up.
