Open Competition At Quarterback?

Is there an open competition at quarterback?According to Bill Belichick there is, says Mr. Herny Mckenna, writer for Patriots Wire in his latest article.

With exception to Tom Brady over the last twenty years, nobody's job was safe in New England. Few years back when the Patriots had Garoppolo, even Brady's job wasn't safe. To hear there's a quarterback competition is no surprise, players earn their job on the Patriots or they end up like Jonas Gray.

Stidham beat out Hoyer for the backup job but when the Patriots had to bring on Cody Kessler, the Patriots may have second guest that. Hoyer has previous starting experience and been around a locker room or two. Stidham is young and unproven. A rematch for the starting position in 2020 won't be like their battle in 2019. 

The Patriots are rumored to be interested in several quarterbacks in this draft class. Names being linked to the Patriots are Jordan Love, Justin Herbert, Jacob Eason, Tua Tagovailoa, Jacob Fromm, Ben DiNucci and James Morgan. While I don't know anything about Morgan or DiNucci, the rest are projected starters. It would be shocking for Belichick to draft them and not let them show if they got the skills to leap frog Stidham or Hoyer on the depth chart. 

Of course the Patriots are going to adapt the offense to what the starting quarterback does best. Could anyone Imagine if The Patriots ran Lamar Jackson offense the last 30 years with both Bledsoe and Brady? It wouldn't of worked. It's not their style. Belichick is a smart coach, and uses players to the best of their ability. Unless their name is Cassius Marsh, the players will trust Belichick and do as instructed. Just look at Elandon Robert's, who played fullback last season. It's one of many reasons the Patriots have had sustained success.
