Matt Light explains why Patriots remain publicly quiet on Jarrett Stidham

Bill Belichick has a certain way he runs the New England Patriots and keeping personnel news on the hush is near the top of his list.

If Belichick wants the public to know something, the public will know. When it comes to Jarrett Stidham and replacing Tom Brady — he has nothing to say. Stidham is the assumed starter, given the fact Belichick deferred to draft or sign a quarterback in free agency. Whether or not Stidham will suit up the first game in September — hasn’t even remotely been said.

Matt Light, who spent 11 seasons with the team, joined the Pat McAfee Show Thursday and explained the silence on the quarterback situation.
