Following a loss to the Dolphins on Sunday that knocked them out of playoff contention, the 2020 Patriots don’t have much to play for over the season’s final two games.
One of the few things they can play for is the future. With Cam Newton putting up another lackluster performance on Sunday, it’s looking more clear that he likely isn’t the long-term solution at quarterback. If that’s the case, it might be reasonable to think that Jarrett Stidham should start in the season’s final two games.
Bill Belichick didn’t rule out making the swap at quarterback to end the season – a decision that Matt Cassel and other NFL experts believe Belichick should make.
