Patriots QB Drake Maye thinks Cam Newton gets paid to talk poorly about Patriots image

Former New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has been loud with his criticism of this iteration of the team. The Patriots are 9-2, but Newton describes them as "fool's gold" due to their schedule that has been described as easy, despite New England defeating both the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road.

One person who couldn't care less about Newton's words is quarterback Drake Maye, who shrugged off any critiques from the former MVP with a little shade thrown at him, as well.

“I don’t even know what show he’s on,” Maye said via MASSLive. “I think they get paid to make remarks and make certain comments. So, I just worry about what people in our organization think, and worry about we think and what my teammates think. People are going to have different opinions. I’m just going out there on Sunday and worrying about ourselves.”

Maye has planted himself firmly in the elite quarterback conversation, and has already won more games in a season than Newton ever did with the Patriots. New England will take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, who may be getting their own elite quarterback back in the lineup, as Joe Burrow was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
