The Cardinals would've selected Stidham, if Murray wasn't their guy.

While I haven't heard anything from Tom Brady, everyone else and their mother, seemingly has some sort of praise for Jarrett Stidham. Kyler Murray's Head Coach, Kliff Kingsbury is the latest to come out in favor of the Patriots former 4th round selection.

Kingsbury recently told Ordway, Merloni & Fauria "I have actually known Jarrett Stidham a long time. I recruited Jarrett Stidham to Texas Tech, He was committed to me for about a year, and so I have always had a high regard of him as a player and as a person. I know they are very high on him up there in New England. I am excited to watch him play. I cheer for Texas kids and I think he has the ability."

Stidham could've lit up the mountain west out in Hawaii, He could've started at Texas Tech but in the end he decided on Baylor and then chose to play for Auburn after taking a year off. 

Kingsbury continued "It is going to be hard to replace the greatest of all-time, but Josh (McDaniels) and those guys up there do a phenomenal job of developing QBs and if they feel confident in him, I feel confident in what they have going on. I am excited to watch him play. Tremendous skill set, great young man, I am really fired up for him to get his opportunity.”

Now there is another more sinister thought behind Kingsbury coming out and praising Stidham. He knows Jarrett's flaws. So if Stidham's got something wrong with his game, it benefits the Cardinals to play him instead of Hoyer on November 29th of this year.

Stidham for one doesn't have Hoyer's experience. That's the first weakness but what else have we over looked in the 4th round backup quarterback? When an opponent praises you, you have to over analyze everything. I am sure Stidham is going over everything to make sure he's ready for the upcoming season.
