You keep calling him first year. He isn’t. That’s the problem.He was actually good against the rams. Even in face of pressure he was able to complete 2-3 darts. If cam had been longer he would have racked another 4 sacks and ended the drive quickly.
He looked good in preseason and there has never been a gameplan around his skills . If you ask him to come behind and play what do you expect.
This year he was injured , fell back o qv 3 due to the Texas wedding and Bill started hoyer against chiefs and refused to let stidham take charge even after first half.
If we say he is no good, there is nothing that is apparent to the eye when stidham played that he looked worse than cam or hover. He definitely looked more poised. Yes he has interceptions but every young player has the first year blues.
They are not even giving stidham the chances that minshew or Mullens got.
Yes we all have so far agreed to bill the coach we trust . But that was with brady in tandem. Now with losing season, screwed up drafts , cam looking like the worst qb , as a fan I am not able to see bills checker moves . Playing cam makes no sense. It need not be stidham, it can't be CAM. If we don't have a choice beyond cam then that's on Bill .
He had a nothing game against the rams - 5/7 27 yards, 3.8 yards per attempt is a nothing performance. I wouldn’t call it “good” when that’s the best you can do in garbage time. Looked like he couldn’t handle an NFL pass rush. That’s not unusual for a QB picked where he was in the draft.
”He’s not Cam” is not a reason to think this guy is going to be any good. I’ve seen no evidence of that and I’m holding my breath we ever will. Pats could replace Stidham very easily, there are lots of guys in the draft just like him and very few of them amount to anything in the NFL.
