Bean: This isn't Cam's fault, but it's time to kick the tires on Stidham originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
I'll just get to it: The Patriots should start Jarrett Stidham against the Jets.
New England being 2-5 isn't Cam Newton's fault and Stidham in all likelihood won't give them a better chance to win, but they should start Stidham.
You think Stidham's bad. I think Stidham's bad. These are just thoughts, though, based on his relief work in the second halves of games. Give the kid an actual week of first-team reps, then let him play against the worst team in the league to see if he can at least handle that.
