Don’t expect a Patriots quarterback platoon anytime soon.
Appearing on WEEI’s Ordway, Merloni, and Fauria Show, Bill Belichick was asked if he’d consider playing both Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham.
“That’s not where we are right now,” Belichick said. “We’re not there now.”
Could the team moving forward?
“I mean, it’s a hypothetical question,” Belichick said. “I have no idea.”
Newton was lifted for Stidham with 10:12 to play in the fourth quarter of a 24-3 loss to the Rams, but the reason wasn’t entirely clear. Was Stidham inserted because the team needed to throw the ball and it gave them the best chance to win?
