I think we need to credit Bledsoe for the way he handled his demotion in 2001. Had he not handled it so well it could have split the locker room in two.Bledsoe sat on the bench from the Saints game until the AFC title game back in 2001-2002....it was not a problem. When Bledsoe got hurt, the locker room was probably 50/50 Bledsoe/Brady at the time.
Belichick makes $$$$$$ to make that call and I believe he has a good feel for the pulse of the team.
I don't believe that Newton would handle his demotion the same way.
