NFL Insider Explains Why Jarrett Stidham Might Not Take First-Team Snaps When Camp Starts

When training camp gets going, the expectation on the outside is that the New England Patriots starting quarterback job is Jarrett Stidham’s to lose.

But might it be the other way around?

Barring an unforeseen move, the Patriots will enter camp with Stidham and Brian Hoyer on the quarterback depth chart, along with undrafted free agents Brian Lewerke and J’Mar Smith.

And while many expect Stidham to be New England’s Week 1 starter, NFL Media’s Mike Giardi diagreed Friday on WEEI, guessing it would be Hoyer. He then explained why he also thinks it will be the veteran taking first-team snaps when camp begins.
