I can't count how many times I've seen the ignorant comments saying "if Stidham was a better option, he'd be playing" or "BB and the coaches know that Stidham isn't ready, and never will be", and even "Stidham doesn't have the talent or ability to be on the roster".
Enter James White - who knows a little more than you about football - just took the opportunity to give Stid some serious support.
“Jarrett is a good football player... Obviously, you could tell that coming in his rookie year learning and things of that nature. He has all the talent he needs to be successful in this league and I am sure he’s probably excited for whenever he gets the opportunity to step out there and I think he will be great whenever he does.”
So, how do you like them apples? I've said it a hundred times, there's lots of organizational reasons why BB has started Cam all year. But, none systematically exclude Stid from being a better passer, more accurate, and even better fit in the standard JMD offense than Cam. James didn't have to be so over the top, he could have said the cliche thing. This almost flies in the face of the stubborn responses from BB how Cam is the forgone conclusion at QB... or even "best for the football team". I think White is inadvertently admitting that he knows Cam hasn't been good. Lets hope we get to see vs the Bills.
That said, I'm not suggesting Stid will light it up, or be mistake free. It would be an extremely tough spot to suddenly get the nod against Buffalo. But if they do throw him in - they better not regulate the offense. Let everyone play, open the playbook, and just go sling it.
