The Pats were pleased with the early returns on their investment, with Stidham making high-level plays in preseason games against Matt Patricia\u2019s Detroit Lions and the Tennessee Titans as a rookie.<\/p>\n<p>Following Tom Brady\u2019s departure in the 2020 offseason, there was internal support behind Stidham to see if he could take the next step towards becoming a franchise quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, rumblings began during the spring that Stidham wasn\u2019t as locked in as the team would\u2019ve liked, and in early July, the Patriots signed veteran Cam Newton to a contract.<\/p>\n<p>Stidham eventually lost the starting job to Newton in training camp that summer in a competition that wasn\u2019t particularly close, and Belichick refused to turn the team over to Stidham even when the Patriots were out of playoff contention in the final weeks of the 2020 season.<\/p>\n<p>The team no longer viewed Stidham as the long-term answer, with the Patriots cementing that belief by selecting starting quarterback Mac Jones with its first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>After taking Jones with the 15th overall selection in the 2021 draft, the Pats selected another quarterback a year later in Zappe, and Stidham became the leftovers.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was a longshot for Stidham to ever develop into a long-term starter in the league, he had early flashes that had some believing in his talent. But the fourth-year quarterback never took a step forward in his development. Instead, he was consistently inconsistent.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last two summers, Stidham was the best quarterback on the field at times, making several big-time downfield throws. Then, it would vanish, and the turnovers would mount.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots will now move to a quarterback room with Jones at the top of the depth chart, followed by veteran backup Brian Hoyer, Zappe, and undrafted rookie signing D\u2019Eriq King.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has made his first trade with Josh McDaniels, Dave Ziegler, and the Pats West regime in Las Vegas.
