Jarrett Stidham the Patriots 4th round pick of the 2019 draft is being considered a bum. He is being written off. He has never had any real game time in a Patriots uniform except during the 2019 preseason where his pass catchers were dropping touchdowns. People forget that going into the 2018 draft Stidham was looked at as a first-round pick and possibly the sixth player off the board.
From 1979-1982 Joe Montana was 18-15 as a starter. He threw 52 TDs and 32 INTs over that span. Although he won a superbowl in 81, his stats don't scream elite during his first 4 years. Montana was the 82nd pick of the draft. He was considered the Goat of his era. Tom Brady was the 199th pick, and is now considered the Goat.
JaMarcus Russell, Tim Couch, David Carr, Sam Bradford, Jamis Winston, Jeff George, were all the first pick of their draft, thought to be the next elite quarterback. While Winston has a chance to turn things around, none of them have shown they were or are elite.
Everyone is now hyping Trevor Lawrence and saying the Patriots should tank to get him. The Colts did that to get Andrew Luck few years back, and he only played six years. It's not smart football, and it's very risky.
Rich Gannon, Joe Thiessman, Dak Prescott, like Jarrett Stidham were all drafted in the 4th round. Don't knock Stidham before he has had the opportunity to show his ability. He could be a nobody but he also could be a future Hall of Famer.
