It is still unknown who will be the man under center once the season kicks off. For now, it is believed that their will be a quarterback competition between Hoyer and the three inexperienced young quarterbacks.
Ryan Hannable eluded to the possibility of the Patriots adding another Quarterback.
"Some have read into that as the team could potentially add a free agent like Cam Newton," Hannable wrote on WEEI.
Former Patriot Matt Light spoke with former colts punter Pat Macafee about the Patriots quarterback situation.
Matt Light said "You’re not hearing anything because there’s nothing to be said." Talking about who's the number one for the Patriots. "Bill wasn’t lying. He doesn’t know which one of his guys is going to be the guy yet..." "There’s just no upside to saying it so he’s not going to do it."
Matt Light went on to say what it's going to take for Stidham or whomever takes over to win with the Patriots.
"They are going to take care of him and manage him as best they can. What they really need is the offensive line to go above and beyond.”
What we know is the Patriots brought Hoyer in with a chance to compete and that he is an experienced starter with knowledge of the Patriots system. We also know that the Patriots intended to sit and develop Stidham for one more season behind Brady.
So while Stidham maybe the favorite outside the team, The organization might have Brian Hoyer in mind to lead the 2020 Patriots to their twelfth superbowl appearance, on their climb of the stairway to seven.
For now all we can do is sit back and wait for some meaningful football and wait out these trying times full of speculation and rumor.
