New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has a fascinating quarterback competition to manage. And make no mistake: the quarterback job is wide open in New England.
Cam Newton is the likely favorite, considering his wealth of experience and production in the NFL. But Jarrett Stidham seems committed to nipping at Newton’s heels. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Patriots have less time than ever to prepare for the season, which makes Brian Hoyer, who has more experience with the Patriots than the rest, a legit threat to start.
Newton seems to have taken the right steps forward to hold his lead on the job, even before the players begin practice.
