How does Jarrett Stidham prepare for every game? Like he’s going to be ‘the guy’

Whether he’s the backup quarterback to Tom Brady, Cam Newton or coming off the bench to replace Brian Hoyer, Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham said he prepares for every game like he’s the go-to guy.

Appearing on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” on Wednesday morning, Stidham shared his mindset going into the week before every game.

“For myself, personally, I prepare each and every week like I’m going to be the guy, whether that’s the case or not,” Stidham said. “I would much rather be prepared than underprepared. Even going back to last year, when I was behind Tom, your only a play away at any given point whether you’re the starter or not the starter, things can happen and I’ve always prepared like I’m the guy.
