“Stid worked really hard last year, He was our backup quarterback the entire season, and I know he’s working hard in the offseason. I know he’s made a lot of progress in terms of understanding our offense and understanding opponent defenses like all players do from Year 1 to Year 2. I’m sure he will get out there and be ready to go, be prepared, compete hard, and we’ll see where it takes us.”
Belichick doesn't appear ready to make any changes to his quarterback room any time soon, as he seems content with his roster. Even though Brissett is only one call away.
"“That’s where we are. You never know what’s going to happen down the road, But we feel like we have four good players there. We added Brian and Ja’Mar to go along with Hoyer and Stidham . . . we like working with all those guys. We’ll see how it goes.”
While there have been a few games Brady has missed over the past twenty years, mainly due to a suspension or ACL injury; this is the first time it will be by his choice. Leaving the Patriots a hole on the starting depth chart.
Stidham had probably the best opportunity of all Brady's former backups as he got time with the first string in practice. He's got a lot going for him, ask any scout how they ranked him after the 2017 season.
Kristian Rivero of Clutch point wrote "New England has the toughest schedule in the league this season. If the Patriots and Bill Belichick want to return to the playoffs and possibly win another AFC East crown, Jarett Stidham is going to have to massively step up, if he is indeed the heir apparent to Tom Brady."
I have no doubt in his ability to do that. Forget the Tank for Trevor movement, Instead how about starting the win seven with Stidham movement.
