Well I think we're now going to find out. If Cam doesn't start their next game it will be Stidham and not Hoyer IMO. Should have been yesterday too. Stidham is a raw rookie but he's way more talented than Hoyer. He has a chance to be a good player, not Brady good, but good enuf to start. 1

The fact he had been Inactive for 3 weeks before this game and unable to beat out hoyer for the backup position says they don’t think he’s very good. Doesn’t matter what fans think. Cam is on a one year Deal and they drafted this kid but they didn’t want to see what he has until they had no choice. By the way he has as many TD passes so far as Cam. Or there is nothing wrong with having the kid wait and maturity into the role? Because you're drafted doesn't mean you need to immediately start playing if you are not ready yet. This is the most important position on the team. Only dumb franchises make dumb decisions. Mind you he got injured in camp. Fitzpatrick is playing over Tagovailoa right now, Tyrol Taylor started over Herbert.... And what does Stidham having as many throwing TDs as Cam is suppose to mean? 1

He has to be a better option than hoyer for so many reasons. So what went wrong over the summer. No way were the pats planning to go with hoyer as their starter before signing cam to that little deal after FA.

YOLO, was it my imagination or were some during the off-season calling him the second best QB in the division, just behind Darnold? I'm not making this up and being sarcastic. I thought I read that somewhere. EDIT: Nate posted it just a bit ago. Keegan from the Boston Herald wrote it. https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/06/10/and-the-best-qb-in-the-afc-east-is-jarrett-stidham-of-the-patriots/ As Bugs Bunny would say, what a Maroon! 🤣 EDIT 2: Its not available to read on my end.

If you paid attention at all, he was supposed to start before they signed cam and even then Belichick made it sound like cam wasn’t a lock to start. From that, to not even QB 2 and inactive. It’s your team that was dumb for thinking that by your own logic you can decide for yourself what it means to you that Cam has 2 TD passes in 3 games. Edited October 6, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1

badassgixxer05 Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Why are there so many Pats defenders on this board? F the pats. I smile every time I see them lose. They did put up a good fight playing good D, but lets face it . They made a huge mistake walking away from Brady. Cam is not going to take them to the playoffs. Hoyer/Stidman sure the F aren't either. See you guys on Nov 1st. Can't wait to hear the excuses then too. 1 1

We don't know just how BB would tend to manage his QBs in a situation such as the one they are experiencing because they never had to before. And we don't even know if Stidham is 100%. I have nothing to go on but what I see. In Stidham I think I see a guy who has the physical ability to play the position and he doesn't seem to me to have the mentality of a confirmed backup. Not much to go on but I'd be willing to wager that if its not Cam next time it will be Stidham. Hoyer is abominable. He's a marginal backup at best. 1

It’s your team that was dumb for thinking that by your own logic Did BB ever come out at any point and said before or after acquiring Cam Newton that Stidham was going to be the next starter for the pats He never said that. The most you got out of BB that Stidham is improving. BB never gives the media anything..so why would he ever come out before the season start and let the media, his opponents and fans know what his plan is?? I am not the one that has to pay attention it seems How is the team dumb??? Because of Tom Brady they were never in the market for a first round QB, they have a former mvp QB for pennies right now who has been affective and if they want can resign him next year or even franchise tag him Oh and last but not least..they are still competitive in and out the division? They are dumb how again? Edited October 6, 2020 by Ghost_002! 1

Sure with the situation yesterday they “trusted” hoyer more. What about the 3 weeks before that? Yeah there is no way hoyer plays if cam is out again.

Of course I don't know who he is going to be. I don't really think he played all that bad considering the circumstances. I remember hearing all off season, before the Pat's signed Cam, about how they already had the next Brddy on the roster. I find that comical. I also find it pretty comical how passionate you are defending the Pat's on a Bills forum. Edited October 6, 2020 by Scott7975

I have no idea what you are trying to argue, Ghost. Seems like made up drama in your head. No one disparaged your team, it’s Pretty normal to discuss the QB situations of other teams.

Yeah there is no way hoyer plays if cam is out again. Or maybe Bill and his OC are more comfortable with the traditional (outdated?) philosophy of sitting the rook and going with the vet for a while. Pats also don't have a good veteran receiving corps to help a raw QB. No Brown/Diggs/Beasley there. Edelman seems to be on the downside of his career. The pick was just awful, and on him. Pats do have a decent run game. All they were asking Hoyer to do was hand the ball off and make the occasional throw to keep the opposing D honest. He has so little to offer in the passing game that he couldn't get it done. It was'nt your comment but seeing possible upside in a Hoyer replacement is not being a second class Bill's fan. It's just trying to ensure that you better know your enemy. And NE is our competition in the AFC East. 1

Skipped past all my other "QB" points to being up false assumptions. Ok.
