Don’t know, will be interesting to see, but it won’t be Stidham, they will make a move.

His best year of college he threw 18 touchdowns.


He had a career 48 TDs to 13 INTs in college. That’s not that bad at all. Malzahn is notorious for not doing well with pass-first QBs. He was a big time recruit and had a very good year (for a freshman) at Baylor with 12 TDs and 2 INTs.

Not sure if he’ll be great but he definitely has some talent.

He’s about like a Jake Fromm. Fromm will likely go around the 4th like Stidham.

Stidham looked great at Baylor and then Auburn ran some retarded offense that didn’t play to his strengths.

I’m not saying Stidham will be great, but he has a chance to not be bad at all.

Dak was also a 4th round pick that went 13-3 his rookie year.

Maybe he just played better when he wasn’t playing SEC competition. QBs can produce in Gus’ system and he was surrounded by talent, not like he was at Vandy.

Also 48 touchdowns over 3 years is laughable. Burrow threw 60 in one season. Tua had like 35 in 8 games this year.

He is no Tom Brady, more like a Jake Fromm.

I don't get the Jake Fromm comparison. I don't think they're at all similar.

I thought that he played pretty well in preseason last year. In fact, he played so well, that they felt comfortable waiving Brian Hoyer, who not only knew the offense, but was a friend of Brady, and who was popular in the locker room and with the coaching staff.

Preseason highlights: LINK

Yeah, I know - some of that stuff is meaningless. But some of it isn't.

In fact, Stidham had a better rookie preseason than Jimmy Garoppolo did back in 2014. And a Jimmy Garoppolo-led Patriots offense was pretty good: LINK

I know that Stidham ran the first-team offense every Friday in practice during the season, and that both Patriot WRs and DBs raved about how well he was doing and how much he had improved last December. The WRs said that he can make every throw and the DBs say that he makes throws in practice that wow them.

I also know that both Belichick and Josh McDaniels have praised him publicly for being smart and picking up the offense quickly. McDaniels has praised his work ethic and said he's taken advantage of his opportunities in practice. Could that be a case of the coaching staff talking up one of their own young guys? I guess - but I don't really think of Belichick as the kind of guy who praises someone who doesn't deserve it.

Listen, I believe the Patriots honestly like Stidham. I don't think they believe he's the next Tom Brady - but I think they might believe he's the next Jimmy Garoppolo. And once upon a time, Belichick was all set to turn the keys to the kingdom over to Jimmy G before Kraft stepped in.

If the arm talent is there, and he knows the offense, and he's played well when he's gotten the chance... I don't see why they wouldn't give him a shot.

He won’t go with him not because he was a 4th rounder but because he is a 4th round talent, he is not some great hidden gem.


Plenty of good to all time great QBs weren't drafted in the first two rounds. Every single one of these guys made at least one Pro Bowl.

3rd
Joe Montana
Fran Tarkenton
Dan Fouts
Russell Wilson
Ken Anderson

4th
Joe Theismann

5th
Mark Brunell

6th
Tom Brady
Matt Hasselbeck
Marc Bulger
Mark Rypien

8th
Trent Green

9th
Johnny Unitas

10th
Roger Staubach

13th
Brian Sipe

17th
Bart Starr

Kurt Warner, Warren Moon, Jeff Garcia, Dave Krieg, and Tony Romo weren't even drafted.

Which one of these guys do you think Belichick couldn't win with? Remember, he took the Pats to 11-5 with 7th rounder Matt Cassel in '08.

enlightened ignorance, you should learn what that means. Never mind Brady was a 6th round pick. How about Prescott as a 4th? You should go find out who Jim Nagy, Jordan Palmer and Daniel Jeremiah are & see what their credentials are, along with they have said about Stidham since the Senior Bowl 2 years ago. Also the fact Stidham's preseason was better than Brady's or JimmyG's should be considered, as well as the fact Stidham took a major amount of first team practice reps all season long because of Brady's elbow issue. Finally, name a QB the Belichick has "prepared ina giving week to start" who under performed? Not VinnyT in Cleveland, not a young game manger Brady in 01-03, not Matt Cassell who hadn't started a game since high school and was a 6th rounder, not JimmyG or Jacoby Brissett (his game vs Buf he started with a broken thumb on passing hand, but week before led blowout of Texans). If Bill thinks he is the guy, I wouldn't bet against it. Enlightened Ignorance = Smart Enough to know what you don't know

I’ll reserve judgment until he’s thrust into the spotlight. As for the comparison to Fromm I think he has better arm talent. I didn’t realize Fromm had such a weak arm until this year. It may have been injury related FWIW. My biggest concern with Stidham is how well he’ll be able to handle the moment.

Be crazy as hell if they could lure Andrew Luck out of retirement.

ETA: I could see them taking Jacob Eason in the draft.
