Bill Belichick has made it clear he has no intention of answering further questions about his starting quarterback — Cam Newton is officially the team’s starter, at least for the time being.
On Monday, during an appearance on WEEI’s Ordway, Merloni and Fauria Show, Belichick was asked whether he would consider playing both Newton and back-up QB Jarrett Stidham — presumably using Stidham as a throwing quarterback and Newton as a more versatile option.
“That’s not where we are right now,” Belichick said briskly. “We’re not there now.”
Pressed on whether the Patriots would ever consider that kind of set up, Belichick called it a “hypothetical,” saying he had no idea.
