Unsurprisingly the Patriots sign Brian Hoyer, and it appears the Jarrett Stidham era is here. (Though weirdly Vegas still only has him at +500, 2nd to... DeShaun Watson at +300, who I'd obviously take but don't think even BoB is stupid enough to sell low on.)
I'm down with it. Stidham has looked better than Brissett did when he started a few games for us, and honestly looked as good as Garoppolo ever did in his preseason action. Why bother paying $20 million for an average to below average starting QB in Andy Dalton, David Carr, let alone one who doesn't fit the system in a Cam Newton or Jameis Winston, when you can take a shot for $700k on a guy you like? Now can we please use that money to sign Thuney longer term & sign (or draft/trade) for 1-2 Tight End's?
