As the New England Patriots begin to assess their plans at quarterback for the 2021 season, one has to wonder if a current quarterback on the roster will be left out of the equation.
Jarrett Stidham was thought to be the front-runner for the Patriots starting quarterback job in 2020. However, once the organization brought Cam Newton in, that all changed. Instead, Stidham was relegated to a third-string role, one he served with professionalism. He eventually jumped to QB2 when Brian Hoyer choked against the Chiefs.
Stidham was put into the game in mostly mop-up situations.
