We hear this about everyone though, so color me skeptical. Remember when people on this board seriously thought we could trade Ryan Mallett to Cleveland for the #6 overall based on reports on how the Pats really like him?BB's current opinion of Stidham is surely based almost entirely on what he's seen of him in preseason and in practices. I'm sure he cares not at all what round he drafted him in. It's been reported that based on Stidham's preseason and Belichicks noises about him, he would have gone in the lower half of the first round if he were re-drafted with this year's class. Hence the lack of interest in Love et al.
The proof is on the field in the games. We won’t really know what we have until Halloween (assuming the games start on time).
It’s just smart business to bring in someone else besides Hoyer to hedge their bets and push Stidham. Preferably not today, but sometime tomorrow. It’s too important of a position.
