Stidham's didn't throw many INTs in college (48:13 TD:INT) or in preseason last year (4:1 TD:INT). Most likely what's happening now is that he hasn't adjusted to NFL game speed yet, a common problem with young QB's seeing their first real game action, especially "gunslinger" types with strong accurate arms like Stidham who tend to have too much confidence in their ability to force a completion.
Which is not to say Stidham won't have problems: at Auburn, he tended to panic and scramble too soon under pressure and take sacks including strip sacks. My concern about him is whether he can retain his composure under blitzes and other pressure.
I'm not going to judge too much Stidham in a Covid regulated environment although I did like some of what I saw. I do prefer him over Hoyer though.
