Belichick believes in Stidham and the quarterbacks he has on the roster. With both Stidham and Hoyer, he doesnt have to change the playbook. If they add a new guy that puts them way behind, and if they're tanking for Trevor, why spend the extra money on a quarterback.
The Patriots aren't paying their quarterbacks very much. Stidham is only making about $800k. If they sign Newton or Trade for Brissett, they'd be paying almost double their current salary of all the quarterbacks on the roster combined.
Not to beat a dead horse but Stidham was only a forth round quarterback because of the stuff that happened to Auburn in 2018, and Hoyer; well every time he's shown potential to be a starter, he's stripped of the position and sent elsewhere by teams looking to stay a dumpster fire.
After twenty years, Belichick has proved he knows what he's doing. Remember Peyton Manning and Troy Aikman looked like busts in their rookie seasons. Stidham can show he's the franchise, if he can win 7 games. If he finishes worst, the Patriots are in a spot to get better picks.
That's even if he starts. Most of us saw how the Ravens stellar defense in 2000 led game manager Trent Dilfer to a superbowl. Dungy kept an extremely simple offense in Tampa before both moved on because of Dilfer. Hoyer is a smarter quarterback than the former superbowl champion.
Hoyer is a better quarterback, and would have the Patriots running game, Elite defense and Bill Belichick to help him. Belichick might just roll the dice with Hoyer and develop Stidham for most of the 2020 season, only letting him play if Hoyer gets hurt or cant get it done.
There's no harm in letting the Patriots quarterbacks compete and play in 2020 without adding another quarterback to the mix. Trust in Belichick's plan or move on.
