Dante Scarnecchia Gives Some Insight On Patriots QB Jarrett Stidham

Dante Scarnecchia left the New England Patriots. He won’t be helping Patriots players in 2020. However, the awesome Dante Scarnecchia shared his take on second-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham. He follows the situation in New England. Stidham is expected to start games with the Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick is impressed with his skills. The quarterback will replace Tom Brady and Brian Hoyer will be here to help him sharpen his skills.

Scarnechia provided an insight on Stidham during his appearance on Sirus XM’s NFL Radio.

“This is a different guy in a couple of ways,” Scarnecchia told the station, as transcribed by NESN.com’s Zack Cox. “No. 1, he doesn’t have the wealth of experience that Tom (Brady) has. There’s no doubt about that, and you have to concede that No. 1 Yes, there’s going to be some things where he’s going to hold the ball longer than you want it to be held, but that’s all about growing up in this league, and you know that as well as I do. Those young guys, they take some time.

“But I will say this for Jarrett, too: he’s a bright kid, and he’s a guy that, when he doesn’t know, he’ll take off (downfield). He showed that in the preseason last year that he’s got some skills. … So there’s going to be some growing pains — there’s no doubt about it. But the guys does have skills. He’s got a great mind. He cares. He shows up early, goes home late. And I wish him nothing but the best…”

Is Dante Scarnecchia right about Jarrett Stidham and his role with the Patriots?

Some analysts believe that Hoyer will challenge Stidham for the starting position. Let’s see how will the situation develop in New England.

The Patriots lost a few valuable players this offseason. Brady is under contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kyle Van Nou and a few others are also out. Sony Michel is doing his rehab, and Damien Harris may see more action on the field. Julian Edelman is 34, and he is one of the few veterans to lead the team in 2020.

The Patriots added a few valuable players this offseason, and they may make a few more moves. Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick have been linked with Belichick’s team. However, the organization has shown little to no interest in acquiring these players. The head coach is satisfied with his current roster, and Patriots players have all the motivation they need to move on. A lot of people say Brady’s departure marked the end of the Patriots dynasty. That’s the ultimate motivation for guys like Edelman.
