Drake Maye responds to Cam Newton’s ‘fool’s gold’ comment — ‘ I don’t even know what show he’s on’
26 comments
From MassLive’s story: Cam Newton isn’t as high on the Patriots and Drake Maye as others seem to be, even calling New England’s success “fool’s gold” due to its schedule.
But Maye isn’t letting Newton — who the quarterback has cited as someone he looked up to growing up — take up space in his head.
“I don’t even know what show he’s on,” Maye said during his weekly appearance on WEEI. “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.”
Newton’s biggest issue has been the Patriots playing “sorry scrubs” week after week, negating the fact New England beat the Buffalo Bills and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road.
While the schedule is statistically one of the easiest in the NFL, it’s not something the Patriots have any control over.
“I can only coach one team at a time. I don’t make the schedule. Every team beats every (team),” coach Mike Vrabel said recently on WEEI.. “That’s just mind-boggling to me, in the National Football League, that there be strength of schedule. You got a salary cap. Everybody spends the same amount of money. So you guys know in this league, that that doesn’t really mean anything.”
Newton has also taken issue with Maye being referred to as a top-five quarterback, noting he wants to see the second-year quarterback play consistently against “well and capable” competition.
Maye’s play this year — despite what some may say about the schedule — has put him in the MVP conversation. His 2,836 yards this season ranks first in the NFL, and his 73.2 QBR is second.
Again, Cam did Praise Drake on his show, 4th & 1, hours after the fools gold clip aired🙄
This is the longest nothing story ever. Cam is entitled to his opinion. He wants to say the Pats haven’t played tough teams thats fine. True to a point but fine.
But you cannot argue with the results. Results say they got 9 wins. Glad Drake and Vrabs are focusing on that part. The daily prep and process. At some point the they haven’t played anyone excuse won’t work either by losing or by winning it all. Goal is to win the SB, not to play so Cam Newton likes you.
I just feel bad for Drake here. Of all people to turn into a straight clown about him, it’s his childhood favorite player. That just sucks. Cam 1000% knows this too. Left with a really bad taste in my mouth about this… He was a good player but everything the pundits said about his personality back in the day is true.
“I don’t think about you at all”
Cam praised Drake. You can praise a player while still being skeptical of the team.
This is such a nothing burger of a story man lol. Cam Newton is entitled to his opinion and he is not the only NFL commentator that questions how good we are due to our schedule. Media just wants this to be something for headlines, but hey look at yall eating it up I guess.

Honestly. Drake we shouldn’t be offended. It is an opportunity to prove him wrong. In about a Month Cam could be on board.
He’s probably right, Cam is essentially trying to stick around and keep a career in football, wouldn’t be surprised if he was paid to say that to Drum up a story and clicks and get people talking, but Cam was on our team for a year and Drake of from Carolina and looked up to him, so I considered him one of ours. Now I’m not so sure.
I watched Cam Newton fail to throw a football into a hole from 10 feet away for so long that he was asked to move on. I wouldn’t trust his opinion on QBs that much.
The most cocky thing Drake has ever said.
Cams a douche always has been
Don’t care, just want them to keep stackin dubs.
Cam is 100% a hot-take guy. He’s also kind of a doosh canoe.
Good answer by Drake.
Screw Cam. He’s a clown and his time in NE is already forgotten.
love this response. because its TRUE! idk what show he’s on either
Drake did his bit after the TD against Carolina…
sad to see this kind of bullshit now
Cam Newton isn’t fit to carry Drake’s jock. He [should try the dessert](https://i.imgur.com/fxdMFC6.png): ShutTheFucupcakes.
I highly doubt cam actually believes this. He’s just a mouthpiece for the show to have some kind of “debate”
I mean it’s so obvious at this point lol. Who even watches this shit
BOOM! Roasted
Cam Newton is now and always has been a gigantic POS
