Matt Cassel believes Patriots should start Jarrett Stidham over Cam Newton to end the season

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.

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.
