I think we’re reading too much into Hoyer being active as Newton’s backup rather than Stidham. That’s Hoyer’s role. He’s shown in his career the ability to come in a play somewhat effectively with little or no reps in practice.
Stidham is the better arm talent and represents the unknown. I expect Hoyer to start, but, if they’re not moving the ball and scoring points, what do you have to lose by playing Stidham? Perhaps, you find you have a 2nd year QB capable of playing well against the defending champ on their field.
