NFL Analyst Offers Take After Reviewing Jarrett Stidham Scouting Report

Will Jarrett Stidham find the strength to replace Tom Brady? TB12 is now playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What does Bill Belichick say about this? Stidham is expected to take the starting position in New England, and Brian Hoyer will probably be a backup quarterback.

NFL Media’s Bucky Brooks discussed Stidham’s potential. According to him, Stidham can be Bill Belichick’s next starter.

“Given Belichick’s reputation and Stidham’s natural talents, it would be foolish to dismiss the Patriots’ chances of succeeding with an inexperienced young quarterback who wasn’t hailed as the next big thing when he entered the league.”

Jarrett Stidham is a good fit

In college, Stdham had an excellent performance and impressed his coaches. Many believe that Gus Malzahn had a system that didn’t work well for Stidham’s development. However, this doesn’t change the fact that he was a talented player.

“He not only exhibited A-plus arm talent while showcasing a mix of drive throws and touch tosses on the perimeter, but he flashed anticipation squeezing the ball into tight windows,” Brooks wrote of Stidham’s sophomore and junior seasons. “Stidham’s performance dipped in 2018, partially due to subpar help from his receivers, offensive line and coaching staff. However, he still possessed enough tools to be considered an intriguing developmental prospect heading into last year’s draft.”

In his rookie season in New England, Stidham had just four regular-season passes. He had solid performance in the preseason, so many believe that he is the right replacement for Brady.

“Those numbers lined up with an impressive film resume that showed Stidham making an assortment of throws to every area of the field,” Brooks wrote of Stidham’s rookie season. “The rookie tossed darts to receivers on quick-rhythm throws at short and intermediate range while also displaying efficient footwork and deft ball handling on play-action passes. With Stidham showing the capacity to work the middle of the field while also throwing pinpoint passes to receivers along the boundary on deep-outs and comebacks, the Patriots should be able to continue attacking opponents with many of the same plays that have been staples in the game plan for years with TB12 at the controls.”

Stidham will turn 24 in August. Brady will 43. But, Brady is the greatest quarterback player of all times. Ruling out Stidham isn’t a great idea.
